The first time I came across her was that AA ad (I think) with the bloke from Grange Hill in the early 80s.

I thought she was annoying. She now brilliant in everything I’ve seen subsequently.

Robert de Niro is now doing Kia adverts as well as Warburtons

He’s in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs as well! Not bad going

She was so infuriating as fleabag’s evil stepmum that i can’t watch anything with her in it now. If i heard her in an ad I’d probably turn off the tv (i wouldn’t turn off the tv but i would feel annoyed until she stopped talking)

I would say that I’m sure she’s perfectly nice in reality when she’s not being an evil stepmum, but I have a suspicion that it’s like ricky gervais playing a dickhead in the office then turning out actually to be that dickhead in reality, and the evil stepmum character is just her true self.

Hahaha. She’s been in other good stuff too though. Think she’s got proper Acting Smarts.

Get a big Tory vibe from her you know

Maybe it’s a Peep Show thing, I’m convinced all the actors are absolutely awful IRL except Dobby, Johnson and Super Hans.

Heard that Kevin Bacon was heavily invested with Bernie Madoff and lost it all, hence his flurry of ad work

Also Tremors was ace

Imagine being paid to just get a cab to a recording studio in your pyjamas and read three lines off a piece of paper. Absolute scenes if you can get it, nappy ad or not.

nah owen wilson

i think i just played my own heartstrings
