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.
