The English Game
If you’re missing your sport and are into period dramas, then Netflix’s 6 part series, The English Game, written by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellows, is for you.
Irish actress, Niamh Walsh stars as Martha. A single mother, with a child out of wedlock, who is passionate about politics and has struggled to find a place in Darwen society.

On Saturday's Plan B, Niamh told Sarina that this could have been a drama focused solely on the men and the game, but Julian was also interested in looking at the way women were treated at the time.

Niamh was back in Ireland (Lahinch) filming a new series for RTE/BBC before production was forced to shut down because of Covid-19.
She couldn't say too much about it but she is looking forward to getting back on set when it is safe to do so.
In the meantime, you can watch Niamh in The English Game, on Netflix, now.
