Miss Marple

So I am in ITV’s Miss Marple tomorrow..great excitement - except once you tell people you’re in it they think you’ll be in every episode NO NO NO –I’m at the beginning eating a slice of cake saying ‘More tea, Jane’ …at least I think that’s me – unless they edited that bit out ...

A very clever episode written by Patrick Barlow called ‘Why didn’t they ask Evans?’ – and economic use of my acting skills so as not to spoil the public for when I’m in Midsommer Murders spelt, Midsommer and also perhaps a ‘Lewis’ where I play the village eccentric or a druid perhaps.

Standing by for the call…

Casualty Cameo

Have just watched The One Show. Made to feel outcast and loser while ironing pillowcases to take my mind off a script for three weeks time. How am I going to learn it in that time? It took me three days to learn three teeny sections of dialogue for Horrid Henry and that was with so-called assistance of a slow and annoyingly quiet helper (male).


The reason for my sense of alienation? Caroline Quentin not only stars in some fresh comedy with an actress who naturally is also brilliant -as she tells us - but she’s doing a house program too. She does houses up for fun…


I can’t even put up a shelf. I’m finished! Let’s hope I’m the cause of someone else’s alienation. Should I ask agent to look out for panto? Don’t think she does panto. Will ask tomorrow while reminder her in passing to send out a memo alert that I’m in Casualty this Saturday.
