Sophie Rundle stars in ITV's new drama about an '80s housewife in dire straits. When her husband loses his job, Steph (Rundle) must make some extra cash to keep them both afloat.

At its most basic casting involves finding actors to play roles in TV and film, however there is far more to it as it is one of the few television roles that seems to bridge the creative and the technical sides of television.

“It’s very much a taste-based role” Andy says. “What people don't see is the enormous amount of work that you put into casting a show – in terms of researching and trying to pull the whole thing together, getting the right people seen, managing expectations and then negotiating the artists contracts.”
