Sunburn followed the lives and loves of holiday reps working for the ficticious ‘Janus Holiday Team’.
When the weekly, 50-minute British drama series Sunburn first aired on January 16, 1999, the action took place in Cyprus, and dealt with the men and women working for Janus Holidays, a successful British-owned travel agency. Upon launching its second season, the series shifted locales to Portugal, Janus’ home office. In addition, several new cast members were introduced, among them the previously unseen but much-talked-about David Janus (Paul Nicholas). Michelle Collins starred as chief holiday representative Nicki Matthews, and all sang the series’ title tune.

UK – Aired on the BBC on Saturday nights from January 16th 1999 to May 1st 2000. Had 2 seasons, with 14 episodes in total.
Isla appeared in the 1st episode of series 2, entitled ‘A Tale of Kidnapping and Celebrity’, which aired on January 22nd 2000. The episode was directed by Keith Boak and written by Mike Bullen. Based on the fact that Isla is credited as ‘woman’, we can assume she didn’t have a very large part and unfortunately we don’t know anything about that character.
