lol at people suggesting actors well into their seventies. A few good tweaks can do lot but they aren't going to make a seventy year old woman look 45-55!!! Sadly.

And @viques The wonderful Lucy Punch's best ever role was Sally Peep in the woefully underrated 2000 mini series The Tenth Kingdom. It's been mine and my DCs favourite ever tv series for a quarter of a century and I'm hanging onto my DVD player just to have the pleasure of showing it to my baby granddaughter one day.

Well she definitely has the ‘dramatic lip’ specified. As does Sarah Parish.

No suggestions for the OP but yay to another Tenth Kingdom fan! I think my copy is actually on video tape. 🙈 I still sing “we will, we will shear you” regularly. 🤣
