Sister Evangelina is Pam Ferris, MS TRUNCHBULL IS A NUN!

Been a fan for years, I'm embarrassed I haven't connected before now 🤦‍♀️

No need to be embarrassed!

Haha thank you for this, we watched Matilda last week and I knew I recognised Trunchbull from somewhere and now I know!

She is also Laura Thyme from Rosemary and Thyme and somebody or other in Where The Hear Is, a superb character actress.

She's Smithy's Mum in Gavin and Stacey too!

Don't forget she's also Aunt Marge!!!

And she’s the headteacher in nativity!

I'll be the first to admit I didn't make the connection either until reading this. Mind blown. I'm questions my entire life now!!

Darling buds of May and Rosemary and Thyme I knew, but didn't know the others!
She's a fab actor, but Matilda will always be her finest moment IMO 😄 I'll never not love that movie
