About Hunderby:
Hunderby is BAFTA® nominated writer and actress Julia Davis’s first series since the award-winning Nighty Night.
Set in the 1800s, it features Helene (Alexandra Roach, The Iron Lady), a shipwreck survivor washed ashore near a small English village. There, she is swept off her feet by widowed pastor Edmund (Alex MacQueen,This Is England 88) and the two soon marry, the puritanical Edmund believing his bride to be untouched by another man. But she has a history, a dark past that she cannot escape.
As Helene moves into Edmund's home, she falls under the watchful eye of housekeeper Dorothy (Julia Davis) who is more than a little involved in her master’s life, and quite obsessed with his dead first wife, Arabelle - to whom Helene simply does not compare. While Helene battles to keep her past a secret, she must navigate Dorothy’s devious scheming, her husband's harsh critique and a potential new love interest.
Hunderby also stars Rufus Jones (Holy Flying Circus) as Doctor Foggerty, Rosie Cavaliero (Spy) as the Doctor’s crippled wife Hester, Jane Stanness (Nighty Night) as local gossip Biddy Ritherfoot and Rosalind Knight (Midsomer Murders) as Edmund’s mother Mathilde.
Rebekah Staton (Wallander) and Ben Bishop (Whitechapel) play frisky couple Annie and Tom, who are staff at Edmund’s home. Alexander Armstrong (The Armstrong & Miller Show) plays Brother Joseph from the local church, Daniel Lawrence Taylor (How Not To Live Your Life) is Geoff, a mute shipwreck survivor, and Kevin Eldon (This Is Jinsy) is a mysterious hunchbacked figure from Helene’s past, John Whiffin.
In a gothic setting populated by the requisite cast of fiends, physicians, hunchbacks, wastrels, maids, crones, and an adorable puppy called Susan, Hunderby oozes with the dark and absurd humour that has become Julia Davis’s trademark.
