Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Molly Windsor won a BAFTA for her role in 'Three Girls' and deliberately kept her distance from Katherine Kelly off-set to maintain on-screen tension.
The series was developed from Gaby Hull's own experience watching contract cheating explode in UK universities—she wanted to explore why students cheat, not just that they do.
