CAMPING

David headed stateside for his first US comedy series, Camping.
​He joined Jennifer Garner in the eight episode series from Girls duo Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner and based on the British series of the same name.

The show centres on Kathryn, played by Jennifer Garner.  David takes on the role of Walt, Kathryn's obedient husband and a loving father to their children, who is the reliable lynchpin of his male social group — but below all that reality lurks a subtle but growing discontent about what he's just signed up for.

The comedy kicks off on Walt's 45th birthday, which was supposed to be a delightful weekend back to nature, at least according to his obsessively organized and aggressively controlling wife, Kathryn. But when the camping trip gathers Kathryn's meek sister, her holier-than-thou ex-best friend and a free-spirited tagalong in one place, it becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman-on-woman crime that won't soon be forgotten.

The show will air in the UK in 2019 on Sky Atlantic.

THERE SHE GOES

Back in the UK  David starred in the critically acclaimed comedy drama, There She Goes, on BBC Four. The five part series, which co starred Jessica Hynes, is about a severely learning disabled 9-year-old girl Rosie , her dad Simon , mum Emily  and brother Ben.
All the stories and characters are drawn from the real life experience of writer Shaun Pye, whose daughter was born in 2006 with an extremely rare and, to date, undiagnosed chromosomal disorder.
Each episode shines a light on day-to-day life with Rosie - unique experiences from simply trying to take her to the park to trying to explain that everyday isn’t her birthday.
A second timeline in 2006 shows the effect having a severely disabled child had on the family unit, how it threatened to disintegrate but ultimately brought them even closer.
