Where do I know her from?

I’ve just been watching Silent Witness and she’s in it this week so I google her (as you do) to see what I knew her from and it was none of the ones list on Wikipedia. I’ve not seen any of those shows.

What the bloody hell would I have seen her in before? It’s driving me crazy!

She was in famous five as a kid which I was obsessed with. 1990s version.

A version of railway children, she was bobby I think.

Some crime drama fairly recently when she was in an advertising company or something

Have a look on IMDb as I find them more comprehensive

Cagliostro · 10/01/2019 21:34

Oh and a teen show called As If

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 10/01/2019 21:35

I had a flashback to her in As If. A show I watched years ago but completely forgot about.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 10/01/2019 21:36

Yes, I'm with you but I can't place her.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 10/01/2019 21:37

As If, that must've been it.

I think she was in a pride & prejudice knock off

VamillaSugar · 10/01/2019 21:38

Was she in Lost In Austen? And the Kinky Boots film?

SusanWalker · 10/01/2019 21:38

She was in Atlantis too. And that pride and prejudice one where she goes back in time and swaps places with Lizzy. And she was in kinky boots.

GinIsIn · 10/01/2019 21:38

Lost in Austen and she was in One Man, Two Governors in the west end

xsquared · 10/01/2019 21:38

Yes. Lost in Austen.

I know what you mean. And I bet you have seen it but you don’t remember. I only say that because I knew I’d seen her in something years ago, and I was sure it was with Jesse Birdsall. The only thing she’s been in with him is As If

DramaInPyjamas · 10/01/2019 21:43

I know her from As If and Hex

SusanWalker · 10/01/2019 21:44

She was in the poirot episode 'third girl' too.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 10/01/2019 21:44

Posted too soon....
And I was certain I hadn’t seen anything called As If just going by the title but now I’v read about I’m sure that must have been it. What do you think?

purpleme12 · 10/01/2019 21:44

I also know her from As If and Hex

lots33 · 10/01/2019 21:46

Trauma!!

I’ve seen that. Was convinced it was something more long term than that.

Bouquet of barbed wire - the one with Hermione Norris in it. Far more dark and knarley than her famous five days!

elliejjtiny · 10/01/2019 22:06

I remember watching her in junk. Loved the book but it was a bit weird watching George from the famous five play a heroin addict. Bit like when topsy and Tim's mum played a jealous woman who tried to burn down a house in casualty.

lots33 · 10/01/2019 22:09

@elliejjtiny 😂😂 IKWYM ! I thought that too. She has a v distinctive face doesn’t she?

MulderitsmeX · 10/01/2019 22:13

I used to love her in famous five. It was so exciting, wonder what happened to the girl who played Anne.

She's also amazing in the railway children

purpleme12 · 10/01/2019 22:22

Aww I'd forgotten about Famous Five!

Cagliostro · 10/01/2019 23:11

Trauma, that was the recent one I was thinking of.

I’m not a stalker honest 😳 just lived for all things Blyton as a child and basically wanted to be George.
