Vicky McClure is back on TV in Channel 4's I Am Nicola TONIGHT

Fans of Nottingham's very own TV queen won't have to wait too much longer to see her back on our screens as an air date for Vicky McClure's new hard-hitting drama has been revealed.

I Am Nicola, the first of three one-off episodes in the I Am series, which examines themes including relationships, identity and empowerment, will land in living rooms tonight (Tuesday, July 23) on Channel 4 at 10pm.

The show, written by Dominic Savage, will reunite long time friends and former This Is England co-stars Vicky, 36, and Perry Fitzpatrick, who is best known for his turn as Flip in the Shane Meadows series.

Channel 4 announced last year it would be commissioning an “emotionally raw” anthology series made up of three hour-long films starring Wollaton-born Vicky, fellow Nottingham star and Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton and Humans actress Gemma Chan. 

The three films, entitled I Am Kirsty, I Am Hannah, and I Am Nicola, will “explore the experience of three women in moments that are emotionally raw, thought-provoking and utterly personal”.

They were all shot over the summer and autumn of 2018.

I Am Nicola will be on Channel 4 at 10pm.
