THE MOD COUPLE

Colin from Accounts star Harriet Dyer talks about her marriage to Patrick Brammall, impostor syndrome and navigating mum guilt
ANGELA MOLLARD
THE MOD COUPLE

A lot of really cool things happen when you write a quirky little TV show and it becomes a global sensation. First, as Harriet Dyer will tell you, your DMs blow up with mates congratulating you on your success. Then you find yourself jetting back to Australia from your home in Los Angeles to pick up an armful of the nation’s most sought-after awards. Next, the BAFTAs call to ask you to present one of their awards and, in the meantime, everyone wants to either: a) interview you; b) hire you; or c) photograph you in designer dresses.

OK, that last one is us.

As Dyer reclines on a sofa in a shimmering green Armani ensemble for our shoot and surveys our style and photography team, she says she can’t quite believe that Colin from Accounts – the hit show she co-wrote and stars in with husband Patrick Brammall – has so comprehensively transformed her life. Its second season is now streaming on Binge (the first season was the Foxtel Group’s most-watched original scripted series of all time), but Dyer wryly notes that it doesn’t seem so long ago that her childhood amateur dramatics were getting little write-ups in the Townsville Bulletin in Queensland.
