Aimee Lou Wood made her screen debut, as the endearingly unfiltered Aimee in Sex Education, in 2019. It’s been a deservedly busy six years since then for the actor, involving three more seasons of Sex Education, co-starring with David Morrissey in the sitcom Daddy Issues, a major role in the triumphant third season of The White Lotus, plus stage and film work, too.
On the small screen, Wood specialises in vulnerability – the kind of characters who survive life despite having a layer of skin missing. You watch in the nail-biting hope that their courage will be enough to see them through and that the people they meet will be kind. It makes sense that Film Club, Wood’s first foray into writing (with Ralph Davis), is built round another variation on this theme.
