RTS West of England gets first look at Jayde Adams' new Bristolian comedy Ruby Speaking

Co-creator and lead actor Jayde Adams may have been nervous about showing it to her home audience, but it is fair to say that the sitcom went down a treat. “You were great,” Adams said to the audience. “I mean, I was better, but you were brilliant. Thank you.”

Lucy Lumsden, executive producer and MD of ­Yellow Door Productions, approached Adams about making a show seven years ago. “I was very lucky to spot Jayde, and it really was a kind of epiphany moment, of just feeling that Jayde’s got a magic touch,” she said.
