Vicky McClure on playing an inept MI6 boss in her first sitcom.
NEW COMEDY
ACTION TEAM
MONDAY / ITV2 / 10.00PM
Think of Vicky McClure and serious, dark dramas, such as Line of Duty, The Replacement, Broadchurch or This Is England, spring to mind.
But this week, the Nottinghamborn actress is totally out of her comfort zone as she stars in ITV2’s new spy spoof, Action Team.
The six-parter follows a team of dysfunctional secret agents tasked with saving the world. Vicky plays their beleaguered boss, Ruth, who struggles to keep her spies, including James Bond-like Logan (played by Murder in Successville star Tom Davis, who also co-created Action Team) and geeky Graham (Horrible Histories’ Jim Howick), in check.
