Top tip: if you’ve yet to do so, watch her TV series I Hate Suzie. Piper doesn’t get to do much – Lady Aislinn is the most underwritten character – but even Piper not doing much is better than no Piper at all. Her father, Lord Rollo, is played by Andrew Scott, and Billie Piper is her mother, Lady Aislinn. Her nursemaid, Morwenna, is played by (for some reason) a deeply Scottish Lesley Sharpe. We first make her acquaintance as she’s participating in a mud fight with her friend, Perkin (Michael Woolfitt), the goat boy, and there is flatulence, not for the last time. It’s the 13th century and Catherine lives in ‘the village of Stonebridge in the shire of Lincoln in the country of England’ and has passions that include ‘avoiding chores, critiquing my father’s horrible swordplay and listening through doors I should not listen though’. Speaking at her films premiere at the Toronto International Film.
(I can only apologise.) It stars Bella Ramsey, known from Game of Thrones, as Lady Catherine, who is also called Birdy as she keeps birds as pets. Fans of Karen Cushmans 1994 novel Catherine Called Birdy will notice some key differences in the forthcoming movie version. It’s a YA novel, which I only realised latterly, but that makes sense, as the film seems to be aimed at the teenage market, and the fact is I may just be too old. It feels like one joke or sketch that’s been dragged out for nearly two hoursĭunham, who created the HBO hit comedy Girls, which is pure genius, adapted this from the novel by Karen Cushman.
