A quarrelsome chip-shop manager is at the heart of Gold's brand-new, star-spangled sitcom Newark, Newark.
Inspired by the adolescence of writer and actor Nathan Foad (Bloods), the three-parter is set in a working-class market town and sees Morgana Robinson (The Windsors) play exhausted matriarch Maxine, who is turning 40 single, having split from her layabout husband, Terry (Gavin & Stacey star Mathew Horne).

Meanwhile, Terry gatecrashes the party and is intent on winning his ex back with the help of his meddling mother-in-law, Pauline (Coronation Street star Beverley Callard).
Here, Beverley, who turns 65 on 28 March, and Morgana, 39, tell us why they're perfect to play mother and daughter...
