The original show, Morning Has Broken featured Nighty Night star Davis playing presenter Gail Sinclair, pictured above, who was forever bickering with regular celebrity doctor, Mike, played by Mohammed. But we’re just taking the relationship between our characters and seeing what we can create with it.’ We’re still working out what it might be, and I probably shouldn’t say too much. He said: ‘God, I love working with Julia. Now Mohammed has told The List they are reviving the double act for a project for later this year.

The show is likely to revive characters from a planned series set behind the scenes at a television breakfast show – commissioned in 2014 but which never came to fruition. Nick Mohammed has revealed that he’s working on a new Channel 4 comedy with Julia Davis.

ĭavis lives in North London with Mighty Boosh star Julian Barratt, and their twin boys Walter and Arthur, born on June 25, 2007. In 2012, she starred in the spoof melodrama Bad Sugar, shown on Channel 4, with a full series in 2013, and also the period comedy Hunderby which she created and wrote for Sky Atlantic, the first show she made for the broadcaster followed by Camping and Sally4Ever. In 2004 Davis wrote and starred in the black comedy Nighty Night, which ran for two series, and in 2010 she co-wrote and co-starred in the equally dark Lizzie and Sarah with Jessica Hynes, but to their chagrin, BBC Two aired the pilot late at night and it never took off for a series. Some of the early improvisations with Brydon would form the basis for their breakthrough 2000 series Human Remains, while other early TV work included being a regular cast member of Big Train and Blue Jam. Her career was given a further boost in 1998 after she sent a tape of her work to Steve Coogan who invited her to write and tour with him. After studying English and drama at York St John University, Julia Davis formed an comedy group which also featured Rob Brydon and Ruth Jones.
