Worst acting in a British tv drama goes to.......

[decisionsindecisions]

Winding down for bed and saw that the Inspector Lynley Mysteries is being repeated on Sky. My god it’s crap. I don’t recall it being this cliched and badly acted when it was on originally.

I used to quite like this. Maybe I was just easily pleased in those days.

Danny Dire in EE is terrible.

Nice typo

A couple of the kids in Corrie are awful. Not going to name names as it’s mean and they might get better but sure any Corrie fans will probably know which two I mean.

Luxesoap Was that the play about the young woman who went back to Bangladesh with her father?

howwud I’m not sure what it was as it was playing when I set off in the car one afternoon. I tried about 5 mins of it and got so irritated by the totally ridiculous and hopeless attempt at the Indian character’s accent that I switched off. There surely must be an actress of Indian heritage knocking about who could have played the part decently.

Charlie Fairhead in Casualty, hands down.

Apparently the actor based Charlie on a real person who he met researching the part. The avoidance of eye contact is something he deliberately brought to the character. So he might actually be a very good actor. I haven't seen him in anything else to judge against.

Was the person he based Charlie on also made of cardboard?

Some of the early series of Morse have very bad support actors

I used to wonder if the Wife of Chief Suspect role was played by the same (utterly insipid) woman every time. Mid-thirties (playing older), blonde, pageboy bob/80s body perm, with a great line in melodramatic sighs and soulful stares.

Just look at Emma Watson aged 11: “you’re going to take someone’s eye out! It’s LEVIOSAAAARRRR”

It's LeviOsa. Not LevioSA.

Dev from Corrie would be more suited to the theatre, I think. He tends to sing rather than talk. IYSWIM

Don't really watch Casualty but I really want to now.

Absolutely agree. Liked Amanda Burton, but Emilia Fox is awful.

Felicity Kendal in Rosemary and Thyme.

The first set of Barnabys' daughter, forget her name but no. Although she's playing a not very successful actress so maybe she's really good.😀

I think Nicola Coughlan in Derry Girls is absolutely awful.

Boris Johnson in Prime Minister's Question Time.

Never convincing.

The female police inspector in McDonald and Dodds, only got one expression
James Nesbitt, totally overacts in everything

I’ve watched Inspector Lynley in the past , but couldn’t stand whoever it was who played his sidekick - IMO the accent - to show how ‘common’ she was compared to him, was way overdone.

I dare say she was told to do it, but I found it (and her, TBH) intensely irritating.

Stephen Tompkinson. So wooden.

Lesley Sharp - 1 facial expression for all parts and never believable in any role she iteats.
