Q:Hey Ricky!!!
Just wondering what
your inspiration for Derek was? Did you find it hard to find a balance between
humor and life in the series? Do you see any future series ahead for Derek?
Are there any projects on the horizon for yourself, Steve and Karl in
the future?
Ps. Your work is hilarious and incredible – and even that is an
understatement!
A:The main inspiration came from the fact that most of the women in my family were and still are care workers. I'm about to film the special next month. Thanks for watching.
Q:Can't see any replies, hmmmm.
A:Refresh the page.
