Inside Amandaland star Samuel Anderson's life - from Emmerdale to Doctor Who The much-awaited spin-off of Motherland, Amandaland, made its debut on BBC One last night (Wednesday, February 5), whisking viewers away from the posh streets of West London to the contrasting setting of South Harlesden.
Amandaland brings back familiar faces and introduces new ones, including Samuel Anderson as Mal, Amanda's disgruntled neighbour living just below her.
In a chat with the BBC, Punch gave insights into her character's dynamic with Mal: "The main relationship is with Mal, played by Samuel Anderson, who lives beneath her.".
He also shared the screen with James Corden and Mathew Horne in Gavin & Stacey, reprising his role as Fingers in the Christmas series finale that aired last year.
Punch also shared her excitement about Anderson joining the cast: "I was in the room when Sam auditioned, and he was this force of nature with incredible energy.
