Daisy Haggard: ‘Seeing the love for Back to Life spread has made me happy'
The star and creator of the word-of-mouth TV hit on researching with ex-cons, mature sex and why she got kicked out of school science class
Scotland-born, Dulwich-raised Daisy Haggard trained at Lamda and is best known for appearing in TV comedies including Episodes, Green Wing and Uncle. She’s also had leading roles on stage at the National Theatre, the Royal Court and the Almeida. She’s currently starring in the BBC comedy Back to Life, about a woman returning home after 18 years in prison, which she co-wrote with the comedian Laura Solon.
Back to Life has been a word-of-mouth hit. Does that make it even more gratifying?
Putting yourself out there is quite frightening so it’s lovely when it strikes a chord. People have been recommending the show on social media, then their friends have liked it. Seeing that escalate and spread has made me really happy.
