In 1995, she was nominated for a BAFTA award for Rory Bremner, Who Else?, and won a BAFTA Children's Award in 1999 for Microsoap produced by Andy Rowley, with whom May has collaborated on a number of productions.[1]

She directed all twelve episodes of Steven Moffat's 1997 school-based sitcom Chalk.[2] She then directed Robert Bathurst in My Dad's the Prime Minister, and Dawn French and Catherine Tate in Wild West. She also directed some episodes of series V of Red Dwarf.[3] She found it hard to work with the science fiction elements of the series[4] and left before the series had completed. The remaining episodes were directed by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.[5]

In 2008, she directed the BBC film Dustbin Baby. May then went on to direct the BBC sitcom Miranda, starring Miranda Hart.

In 2015, May directed episodes 3, 4 and 6 of British television drama series Ordinary Lies, for BBC One.[6][7][8]
