Captain Dolly is a production company led by Sally Phillips, Ronni Ancona, and veteran producer Nick Hamson.

Sally Phillips is one of Britain’s best known comic talents with twenty-five years of credits in film and television including the Bridget Jones trilogy, Veep, I’m Alan Partridge, Green Wing, Taskmaster and Miranda. She co-created the double Emmy Award winning Smack the Pony and wrote The Decoy Bride.

Ronni Ancona first became known for her work on the BAFTA winning The Big Impression series with Alistair McGowan for which she won the British Comedy Award for Best Actress and the prestigious Variety Club Award. She also received a BAFTA for her performance in The Sketch Show, which she also co-wrote. Ronni has worked extensively in both comedy and drama, such as the international hit comedy-drama Last Tango in Halifax, as well as the beloved Eastenders.

Since creating Captain Dolly, the trio have been developing several feature films; an international co-production, a feature commissioned by BFI, & a UK Co-Production which plans to shoot later this year. In addition, they are developing murder mystery musical comedy in the world of an 80’s band, with a major Hollywood director attached.

Captain Dolly has also released a comedy parody podcast titled Hal & Ronni In Pieces, featuring special guests such as Jo Brand and Omid Djalili.
