Daddy Issues

Friday, 9.35pm, BBC1 & BBC3 (box set, BBC iPlayer)

The first series of BBC comedy Daddy Issues saw spirited Gemma turn to her endearingly useless dad Malcolm for support when she unexpectedly became pregnant.

Now, in the new run, Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood) has welcomed baby Sadie into the world and is adjusting to motherhood, while Malcolm (David Morrissey) receives some blasts from the past.

In an exclusive interview, Wood, 31, and Morrissey, 61, tell us more...

Wood Gemma loves being a mum, but she's tired and living with her own scary mother, Davina [Jill Halfpenny, who has taken over the role from Susan Lynch]. She misses her dad.
