Half Moon Investigations
Nicola Duffell as April Devereux

Half Moon Investigations



Nicola Duffell is April Devereux


April Devereux is the teacher's pet – and an aspiring criminal mastermind. Whilst all the teachers and parents love her, the school kids know her as leader of "The Pinks".

Ìý

April considers herself merely to be an entrepreneur, who sees an opportunity and takes it. April would never entertain the idea that she is the sort of low life thief that Half Moon would investigate.

Ìý

She believes she is above that level of criminal activity and more importantly above Half Moon’s kiddie detecting games – she has an empire to run.

Ìý

Self-serving, manipulative, and clever enough to cover her tracks, April's charms ensure that her nose stays clean. She sends in her minions to work on her behalf and uses her astute judgement to plan her own crimes knowing how to profit by staying safely on the sidelines of the clumsy criminal attempts of others.

Ìý

Thirteen-year-old Nicola Duffell from Brighton plays April and says of her character: "April wants to rule the world, she wants to be the next prime minister. She's a really fun character to play because she is really mean to everyone. She thinks the whole school loves her, but in fact the whole school hates her.

Ìý

"I think she is really clever – she's almost as clever as Moon because she knows how to plan. And she gets away with some things and tries to appear innocent with the teachers.

Ìý

"This is the first acting part I have ever got and I have been to loads of auditions. I was almost in tears and I was shaking. My mum made me ring all my relatives as soon as we got home. It only sank in about a week later!

Ìý

"It was hard at the beginning, being away from home, but I met such amazing people and I have made so many friends. I went home every two weeks for the weekend. As soon as you go home it refreshes your system and when you get back you feel all bright and happy again.

Ìý

"While we were filming I lived in a shared house with Olivia and Seb. It was really fun, they are great people and we had so much fun. I missed my school friends a lot but I try to speak to them most of them on the phone nearly every night.

Ìý

"Everyone on Half Moon Investigations is like a big family, there are hardly any arguments! I don't even mind standing outside in the freezing cold because I'm acting and that is my favourite thing to do.

Ìý

"Seb is hilarious, he is one of the funniest people I have ever met – he made me laugh every day when we filming. I really hope there will be a second series, otherwise it is going to be so sad to think I might never see these people again because we all live so far apart.

Ìý

"My school friends are really supportive, they say they can't wait to see me on the telly!"
