Biography
A Drama scholar at Hurtwood, Lizzie studied Theatre, Media and English. She impressed her English teacher, Louise with her ‘acute intelligence and originality’ and ‘her amazing insight and wit’. She was always on stage here at the heart of many Hurtwood productions from our Christmas Musical extravaganza ‘Chicago’ to the many rock and pop concerts at the school. After Hurtwood Lizzie went straight into the industry and spent the next five years on the delights of ‘Shrek’s Adventure’ and the ‘London Dungeon Experience’. Her sister Kat had the skill and luck to have secured the attention of the BBC for her scriptwriting and set about turning what Lizzie calls the collective ‘narcissistic neurosis’ of the sisters and their mum, into the pilot of ‘Such Brave Girls’ which brings to comic life the tensions of single-parent family life, female neurosis and frustration, sisterhood and sibling rivalry. The fight to translate this into a commissioned series took three years and they were delighted when their ‘comedy hero’ Simon Bird came on board to direct.

They're vain, selfish, heavily in debt, pathologically desperate for affection and bursting with misplaced, terrifying love.
Such Brave Girls
David Mitchell and Robert Webb combine forces with a host of exciting and innovative future stars. Will it result in a lot of funny, inventive, and very sweary sketch comedy? That is entirely a matter of opinion!
Mitchell and Webb Are Not Helping
Seth Meyers, who is "Saturday Night Live's" longest serving anchor on the show's wildly popular "Weekend Update," takes over as host of NBC's "Late Night" — home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and the best in musical talent. As the Emmy Award-winning head writer for "SNL," Meyers has established a reputation for sharp wit and perfectly timed comedy, and has gained fame for his spot-on jokes and satire. Meyers takes his departure from "SNL" to his new post at "Late Night," as Jimmy Fallon moves to "The Tonight Show".
Late Night with Seth Meyers
