Ten Percent, the British remake of French hit Call My Agent! is almost here, and it’s not short of star talent.
The show focuses on a group of talents agents as they scramble to keep their clients happy and the business afloat.
Helena Bonham Carter, David Oyelowo, Phoebe Dynevor and Himesh Patel are all set to cameo as themselves across the series, along with many more, yet the central cast of agents and assistants is no less impressive.
