Now this is a long shot. I was in Salisbury Cathedral on Saturday night for their darkness to light advent service and sitting in front of me was an actress. And instead of enjoying the choir singing, I was racking my brains trying to remember her name. I've just spent the past hour (have better things to do, but its so frustrating) seeing if I could try and find out who she is. She looks a bit like Tamsin Greig (of Black Books fame) with quite thick short black hair. She's fairly tall, slim and possibly in her late 40's/ early 50's (useless with guessing peoples ages!) well spoken. I'm and sure she was in a BBC2 (or maybe 1) comedy drama about a shrinks office :?:

 

If, and I know I am clutching at very long straws here, anyone knows who I am talking about, please let me know, I would be most grateful :D

Could it be Alison King? I confess I've never heard of her but googled (yes I have a very dull, extremely boring job) and found she was in "Help", a BBC comedy drama aired in 2005.

 

She's now in Coronation Street apparently (I don't watch it so have no idea).

 

More info on her at:

Unfortunately that's not her. She's slightly older looking.

 

Hmmmm, might need a bit more Blue........ has she been in anything else that you can remember?

 

I so wish I could Clootie! It is really bugging me. I wish I had just asked her what her name is now!

Harriet Walter??

 

Thank you thank you thank you! :dance: I just remembered whilst watching Pride and Prejudice that she was in one of these adaptations, and her character married a vicar, but for the life of me I couldn't remember which one it was. So I thought I'd have a quick peek on here to see what other suggestions might have come up and lo and behold, there she is!

 

Thank you jlo once again :clap:

I am pleased that you will be able to sleep tonight!

 

I saw her in Much Ado about Nothing at the RSC in Stratford a few years ago. She is an excellent actress. She was also (amongst lots of other things) in Morse and the Emma Thompson "Sense and Sensibility."
