“Daisy is quite small fry but she’s got a certain amount of online following and this essentially brings her a certain degree of danger as the wedding approaches.
“Most of the story is built as quite light-hearted with cultural clash comedy between Daniel, who feels they should have a Dickens themed wedding and Daisy’s like ‘are you having a laugh?’

“It’s the idea of having this mini Ken Barlow who wants this serious and academic wedding and then Daisy who wants everything to be a bit extra.”
Iain continued: “There’s loads of good fun to be had there but in the background there’s this creeping danger that arises from Daisy’s online life and by the time that surfaces, and it takes a while for Daisy and Daniel to realise that this danger is brewing.
