Please help me remember dark haired British actress!

[5hell]

I know MN is fab at this sort of detective work, so here goes...

She's maybe 40's, slightly husky voice, sharp dark bob with fringe. I can picture her smartly dressed and saying something like "for f*/k sake (insert man's name)". more likely TV than film I think.

Reason being I attended a new yoga class and thought I knew the teacher, but I think she just looks & sounds exactly like this actress, but now I want to know who she is!

Minnie driver, Rachel weiz

Another vote for Gina Mckee.

Gemma Arterton?

Has anyone suggested Samantha Bond?

@Mumteedum

I love these threads. They go on for days and it'll turn out to be Miriam Margolyes

It's funny because it's true

Louise Lombard? ( in House of Elliott)

Pookie Quesnel?

Jemima Rooper?

Gina McKee?

Ooh I used to want to be Louise Lombard in HOE when I grew up

misses point of thread

Just thought of another Tara Fitzgerald ?

tellmewhen
God I envied her those clothes and hats,

Raquel Cassidy? Did a lot of 'FFS's in Teachers.

Or maybe Gina Bellman. Tall, dark haired, may have said FFS in something.

I mean, it's really not much to go on!

Fenella Fielding about 50yrs ago?

I always think someone was in a TV drama a couple of years ago, only to find out it was actually 1987.

So on that basis. Helen Baxendale.

Fenella Fielding about 50yrs ago?

I was just going to say Fenella Fielding! Loved her! "Oddbod!"

Sian Clifford? Played the sister Claire in Fleabag

Rachel Weisz?

Nicola walker maybe? I think she’s gone from blonde to dark from role to role.

Jan Francis springs to mind from Just Good Friends

Place marking with Bill Paterson.

Or Caroline catz in Doc Martin. If she didn’t say it, she must have been thinking for f*cks sake a lot of the time.

Belinda Lang in 2.4 children?

Kate O'Mara
Hillary Tindall

That sounds like one of them made up porn star names
