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!

In reply to Pookie Quesnall suggestion

Caitriona Balfe in Forf V Ferrari?

The actress from Hollington Drive? Rachel Stirling? She has a husky voice & a straight bob & fringe

Jan Francis. Obviously a lot older now.

I'm going to guess Catherine Kelly from coronation Street. She's changed her hair and accent a lot for various roles.

Or Ruth Wilson

Penelope Pitstop?

Fay Ripley when she had dark hair

Ruth Jones

Martine McCutcheon (how do I spell that?) she’s famously sweary in Love Actually!

Clare Calbraith?

Margaret Lockwood

Jan Pearson? She is husky and brunette…

I immediately thought of Rachael Stirling too.

But could be Helen McCrory or Lesley Manville when she was a bit younger.

Or Sarah Parish? Suranne Jones?

I can picture her smartly dressed and saying something like "for f/k sake (insert man's name)".*

Bingo.....I know who it is! I read the above sentence and I know!

@PinchOfVom

Definitely Gina McKee

My thought too!

Jessica Raine?

Shirley Henderson

Helen Baxendale?

@Mumteedum

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

Tamsin Greig?

Surely it's Vicky McClure?

we'll @Magnited are you telling??

So, Cherie my dear
Could you leave the way clear for sex tonight?
Tell him "Tony Tony Tony, I know that you are horny
But there's somethin' 'bout that Bush ain't right"

Cherie Blair !

"For fuck's sake Tony!"

It really fits and I have seen her on TV. Honest.

@jessicama

Tamsin Greig?

Oh yeah!! I think she’s fab
