Daisy May Cooper has confirmed there will ‘definitely’ be more This Country over two years after we said goodbye to Kerry and Kurtan Mucklowe.

This Country ran for three series, created by, written by and starring Daisy and her brother Charlie Cooper.

It ended in 2020, winning a total of five Baftas and becoming one of the most popular fresh sitcoms in recent memory.

However, its final series came with a sting for Daisy and Charlie after the death of their close friend and co-star Michael Slegg, who died aged 33 in 2019 shortly after announcing he was terminally ill.

‘We definitely will, but I’m not ready yet,’ she told Radio Times.

‘I found the last series so hard when I lost Michael. I’m still trying to process that.’

In the meantime, Daisy has teamed up with another close pal, Selin Hazil, to write her next sitcom, Am I Being Unreasonable?

The BBC comedy follows two mates, one in a dead end marriage which Daisy admitted was actually inspired by her own break-up with husband Will Weston.

Discussing how the series was formed, she said: ‘It was because I was desperately unhappy in my marriage, but didn’t realise it at the time, and then lockdown put this massive spotlight onto it.

‘My daughter had asked me to put a pair of dungarees on a Sylvanian Family squirrel. It was like the straw that broke the camel’s back. I was completely broken.’

This Country is available to stream on BBC iPlayer. Am I Being Unreasonable will air on September 16 at 9.30pm on BBC One.
