Kathy Burke is All Woman - and on a mission for Channel 4

Award-winning actress, writer and theatre director Kathy Burke is on a mission to discover what it really means to be a woman in 2018 in a new three-part series for Channel 4.

Never one to hold back from speaking her mind and resisting the urge to fit herself to any mould of femininity she’s ever come across, Kathy Burke: All Woman w/t (3 x 60’) is a true celebration of all things female. Kathy has a unique take on her sex and plans to step into the shoes of some very modern women to see what their different takes on femininity can tell us.

Covering key themes that resonate with women of today – Beauty & Image, Work & Motherhood, Sex & Relationships – Kathy will tackle the big and small issues affecting women of all shapes and sizes.

Along the way Kathy will meet some of the UK’s most innovative and successful women, celebrities, social and political commentators as well as people from her own past. And whilst Kathy might share certain preconceptions with the rest of us, she’s definitely not here to judge. Well maybe just a little bit.

Kathy Burke said, “This is a unique opportunity for me to meet ordinary and extraordinary women from all walks of life.”

Lucy Leveugle, Acting Head of Factual Entertainment at Channel 4 said, “Kathy Burke is the candid heroine we all need in our lives. We’re absolutely delighted to have her on the channel celebrating wondrous women and asking the questions others simply wouldn’t have the grace to get away with.”

Colleen Flynn, Executive Producer from Flicker Productions added, “Bringing the voices of women to our screens and with the iconic Kathy Burke at the helm, we couldn’t be more excited to be working with Channel 4 on what we know will be an incredibly timely series.”

Kathy Burke: All Woman (w/t) was commissioned by Lucy Leveugle, Acting Head of Factual Entertainment at Channel 4 and will be overseen by Sarah Lazenby, Commissioning Editor for Factual Entertainment. The 3 x 60’ series will be made by Flicker Productions. Executive Producers are Colleen Flynn and Nina Davies, the Series Producer is Nicky Waltham.
