Lammas Park, the BAFTA award-winning production company helmed by Steve McQueen, hosted an advance screening of their keenly anticipated latest short films this week.
The private event, in front of a full house at London’s Picturehouse Central, saw the screenings of “i and i,” directed by Samona Olanipekun, and “Young Hot Bloods,” directed by Jade Ang Jackman, before they hit this year’s festival circuit.
The screenings were followed by a Q&a hosted by Variety contributor Simran Hans, who spoke with the filmmakers, Jackman, Olanipekun, and the cinematographer of “i and i,” Korsshan Schlauer, as well as Mia Powell, new business director at Lammas Park and Ben Morse, Canon Emea’s content production manager.
“Young Hot Bloods” is a period drama inspired by the Suffragette movement that follows an unassuming seamstress Vera (Aliyah Odoffin), who is confronted by an undercover police officer Sullivan (Alfie Allen) trying to stop the militant group of women.

Everything I Know About Love isn't just a love letter to friendship—it's also an ode to the very specific time period it's set in: 2012. The Peacock series based on Dolly Alderton's bestselling memoir of the same name follows childhood BFFs Maggie (Emma Appleton) and Birdy (Bel Powley) as they move into their first London flat with their two college pals, Nell (Marli Siu) and Amara (Aliyah Odoffin). Together, they navigate bad dates, career woes, heartaches and humiliations—all while rocking the very best (and worst!) fashions the 2010s gave us. One of the biggest aesthetics of the time was "indie sleaze," a fashion era defined by skinny jeans, smudged eyeliner, cropped leather...

The success of “Fleabag” loosed a glut of shows about young women tottering – heels broken, mascara smeared – in the vague direction of adult responsibility. Few have been as purely enjoyable as “Everything I Know About Love,” Dolly Alderton’s adaptation of her own memoir, which debuts on Peacock this week after winning plaudits on the BBC in midsummer.
With its photogenic cast, pyjama-party vibe and commitment to steering its characters towards better things, this Working Title-produced, London-set miniseries should provide superior comfort TV for anyone constitutionally unable to face Nathan Fielder’s postmodern provocations or the carnage of a “Game of Thrones” prequel. It’ll be only more comforting the more years you have on the show’s fresh-faced principals.
Alderton’s onscreen surrogate is Maggie Marshall (Emma Appleton), encountered just before the 2012 Olympics as a flighty 24-year-old blogger with a thrusting new beau in porkpie hat-sporting, multiple red flag-raising...

Four female friends share the experience of navigating post-college life in London in Peacock’s new series “Everything I Know About Love.”
Set in 2012, the show, which is based on the book of the same name by Dolly Alderton, combines humor and drama as it follows 20 somethings Maggie (Emma Appleton), Birdy (Bel Powley), Nell (Marli Siu) and Amara (Aliyah Odoffin) as they work on adulting, seek out romance, and even learn a choreographed dance or two in their shared living room.
“I think it’s just so nice to see female friendships not taking a backseat in the storyline,” Appleton told TheWrap. “It’s very much front and center. And that is the romance. And that is most important in this story.”
As things begin in the new series, Maggie is just arrived in London and still trying to figure her life out. As her housemates and friends do the same,...

The first (and hopefully not last) season of “Everything I Know About Love” runs for seven episodes. It’s an odd length for a TV season, but this is a show where that lack of a round number makes perfect sense. It’s such an effective form of TV-as-memoir that every episode feels like it could be its last. A snapshot in time of four friends living in London in the summer of 2012, the Peacock original captures the feeling of a group of people who recognize their whole lives are ahead of them, made from chapters that could start or end at any minute. Packed with mid-20s energy and angst, occasional flippancy and real heart, “Everything I Know About Love” justifies giving a date barely a decade past a full and thoughtful revisit.

Everything I Know About Love premiered on Peacock Thursday, August 25.

TV Fanatic got the chance to speak with Emma Appleton (Maggie), Marli Siu (Nell), and Aliyah Odoffin (Amara) about working on the series.
Emma was instantly attracted to the series because she fell in love with the writing and the characters.
"I never really read characters so complex and nuanced and real. I was like, 'I've got a friend," the star shared.
"As an actor, you want to tell the truth, and it had all of those components."
Aliyah recalls reading the script fondly.
"I remember I printed out in the first episode, and I was lying on my carpet, and I was like lying on my belly, feet in the air, like I was texting a crush,...

It's hard to imagine a TV show about four female friends navigating life in the big city not inviting comparisons to Girls or Sex in the City. The description does indeed apply to Peacock's new series, Everything I Know About Love—just swap out New York City with London—and while cast members Emma Appleton, Marli Siu and Aliyah Odoffin told E! News they find said comparisons incredibly flattering, they're not exactly accurate. "I think it's the compliment of inspiration," Aliyah said.

When Everything I Know About Love first arrived in my inbox, I expected a series that focuses on a focal couple as they navigate the highs and lows of being in a relationship.
However, the series goes in a drastically different direction than I first anticipated, and it solidifies itself as one of the year's best shows.
In this peak TV era, it's rare for shows to break through with an original concept, but Everything I Know About Love is a diamond in the rough.
Based on Dolly Alderton's memoir of the same name, we pick up in 2012 with Maggie (Emma Appleton), a twentysomething who is struggling to get her life in order.
She's partying every single night of the week, lacks focus, and is heavily reliant on her best friend since her youth, Birdy (played by Bel Powley), to help her navigate life.
