Other credits include ‘Girls Behind’, ‘Mum’s The Word’, ‘The Naked Truth’, ‘Over The Rainbow – The Eva Cassidy Story’, ‘Menopause The Musical’ and the National UK tour ‘Footloose’.
In The Mood For Cruising aired in last year starring Maureen, giving the channel, Quest Red, their highest ever UK made programme rating.
