Meet the Creators – Colin from Accounts
Featuring Patrick Brammall, Harriet Dyer, Rob Gibson, Ian Collie and Ali Hurbert-Burns
Friday 9 February
11am AEST
First launching on our screens in late 2022, Colin from Accounts has taken the world by storm. Available now to watch in the UK on BBC Two and Paramount + in the US, it’s also taken home various awards and been commissioned for a second season!
When Ashley and Gordon are brought together by a car accident and an injured dog, these two singles(ish), complex humans must learn to be brave enough to show their true selves, scars and all, to find real connection in an age where you can have someone at your door for meaningless sex faster than a Domino’s pizza.
Join creators and stars Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, alongside producers Ian Collie and Rob Gibson and Executive Director for BINGE Ali Hurbert-Burns, to hear some behind the scenes stories, find out what it’s like to make a show with a real life couple, and maybe some secrets for season two…
