Vicki Pepperdine is an English actress and writer. Her writing work covers a wide range of shows – from four series of the Sony nominated Hudson and Pepperdine Show on BBC Radio 4, to Exec Producing and Storylining on three seasons of HBO’s adaptation of the multi award winning BBC sitcom ‘Getting On’, which she co-wrote with Joanna Scanlan and Jo Brand – and in which she also starred.
Here in the UK, Getting On won two Writers’ Guild of Great Britain awards, a Women in Film and TV award, a Royal TV Society award and a British Comedy award – and was nominated for two BAFTA TV Awards. Pepperdine herself was nominated for a British Comedy Award for her performance as Dr. Pippa Moore – a role which she reprised in the third season of the HBO adaptation of the same name.
Pepperdine also wrote and starred in ‘Puppy Love’ for the BBC with Joanna Scanlan, ‘Grey Dogs’ – a summer short for Sky TV along with Ellie White and co-hosted (along with Julia Davis) the award-winning podcast ‘Dear Joan and Jericha’, a structured, improvised Agony Aunts comedy for Acast.
Vicki is currently adapting a novel for Audible.
