It's no coincidence that the title of Nathan Foad's new sitcom has a local place name in the title. The series was inspired by Foad's own experiences of growing up in the Nottinghamshire town of Newark.
The three-part comedy staring Nottingham's own Mathew Horne, follows fish and chip shop manager, Maxine, as she tries to ride out her divorce and find new love. The official synopsis says: "Newark, Newark captures the goofy, sticky oddness of long English summers and the joyous, comforting and somewhat ridiculous things that go on in a small town."
There are some famous faces in the line-up with some strong Notts links. Here's what they had to say about the show as well as a memory jog for those struggling to recall some of the high profile shows they may have seen the cast in previously.
