Wonder what Julia Davis has done?

Ep 5 of The Regime (bonkers show and not entirely keen, I have to admit) has a brief appearance by Julia Davis (of Nighty Night, and other things). But I did have to check the cast list to be sure.

As a recent "victim" of ill-judged Botox [my own stupid fault....], I suppose I am on high alert to these things.

I will screenshot the scene if I can.

I'm impressed you got that far, I watched half the first episode and couldn't be arsed going on with it.

I saw a clip of her on a podcast a few months ago and noticed that she looked very different. Too many fillers.

She had such an attractive and unique face that it seems a shame. But I suppose watching yourself on screen must make you over-analyse every perceived flaw.

I don't like to speculate about others medical issues but maybe she could have had Bell's Palsy and didn't want to go public about it?

Edited

Hmm, I'm inclined to think not. Doesn't Bell's Palsy affect only one side of the face? [I knew someone with it and it certainly caused massive asymmetry.]
This is more - possibly - a case of Lesley Ash school of facial tweakments.

Given the actress and the nature of the show, is it not makeup?

Wouldn't have known her, fillers have given her that puffy face look.

Yes, and it's seems worse when she is speaking (despite the lovely voice) - the lack of mobility is frightening. (I hope she hasn't had an accident or anything though....).

I had wondered about smoothing the under eye area when I had my Botox. So glad I didn't. It looks really weird, and my under eyes aren't too bad. And what I did have done was "bad" enough! I thought I might end up with Endora from Bewitched, which I would not have minded. Instead, I was Tammy from 1000lb Sisters! (who I love by the way...)

Whaaat that screenshot is insane! She doesn't look like the same person at all. How sad.

Here we are (I hope). The very first scene of Ep. 5.

Yes. Same actress as I thought. Looks like a COMPLETELY different person.

I think I know who you mean and I agree

I agree with all you say. And my recent Botox (the second time in my life, 15 years apart...) has put me off tampering forever!

I don't think she looked "gorgeous" in that scene though, I'm sorry to say. Although she does have a lovely voice/diction (KW's - character - is over the top Received Pronunciation that just adds to how bonkers it all is).
Whatever she has done has affected the proportions of her face in some way that I find disconcerting - not that she will care what I think.
I have spent the last three weeks trying to make my Botox dissipate; I never learn.

You are not being unreasonable.
I was wondering the same.
I do absolutely love Julia Davis, she is my favourite comedian. She is so talented, beautiful and hilarious.
I think maybe some filler has been involved.
I personally also think that stuff should be banned. Botox is fine as long as its administered correctly. It wears off eventually. But filler adds volume to a face and alters peoples appearances. It also doesn't completely disappear with time it just migrates.
Just my opinion I’m not a doctor.
Of course Julia Davis might not have had anything done she still looks gorgeous
