It’s hard to believe that new detective show Whitstable Pearl marks the first major lead role in Kerry Godliman’s career.
“I was extremely excited and almost shocked,” the 47-year-old comedian and actress tells us over Zoom. “I suppose if I ever did get a lead, I expected it to be in comedy, so I was pleasantly surprised and extremely flattered.”
