Dawn French has been cast as a village gossip in a new ITV series.
French said of the forthcoming six-part series: “It’s such a good story with a fantastic, funny, touching script by Mark Brotherhood.
Set in Devon, the series will also star Julie Hesmondhalgh, Vicki Pepperdine and Patrick Robinson as locals.
Glass House, which has been compared to Doc Martin and The Darling Buds Of May, will see French play Maggie Connors, a woman who pays no heed to the adage that “those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”.
