Career

Nickson won the Lloyds Bank Film Challenge at the age of 14 with a ten-minute short film called Buddah's Legs. She then wrote a half-hour comedy for Channel 4 called Life's A Bitch. Her most famous series, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, was created while she was in secondary school and ran for ten years. She appeared briefly in one episode of the show, as a patient waiting to be seen in A&E while Gaz and Jonny were both patients. In April 2010, it was announced that Nickson would leave the series to focus on a number of new projects in both England and the United States.[1] In addition to writing and creating her own shows, she has also worked as a producer and script editor.
