Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan is back with another riotous comedy – this time, acting opposite It’s a Sin star Lydia West.

Big Mood, debuting on Channel 4 today, see Maggie (Nicola) and Eddie’s (Lydia) decade-long friendship out to the test after series of chaotic events, with the pair at a pivotal point in their lives and Maggie’s bipolar disorder making an unwelcome return.

To celebrate her latest role, Attitude recently caught up with Nicola for our She’s Got Attitude fabulousness quiz, and she passed with flying colours, of course. We adore her. She once lived in San Francisco, you know – and it shows!

Any fool proof tips for getting in a good mood?
