Monica Dolan fan club?

I am going to sound insane; bear with me. I have been watching more TV than usual during the pandemic, and the character actress Monica Dolan somehow seems to be in everything I watch. She is in:
A Very English Scandal as Mrs Thorpe the second
Appropriate Adult as Rose West
The Dig as Mrs Basil Brown
Poirot episode After the Funeral as Mrs Gilchrist

And she is just so excellent and believable in everything. I wish someone would give her a meaty lead role in something instead of a supporting role.

I saw her in the stage version of All About Eve alongside Gillian Anderson and she was superb. Was refreshing to see her in a glamorous role too.

She was great in W1A.

Yes she is always really good! Love her in W1A. Also she was in one of the Cormoran Strike series too.

Yes - she was incredible in Witness For the Prosecution as the housekeeper, done up like a kipper for the murder of her beloved employer.

She’s in a lovely little film called Days of the Bagnold Summer which was released last year. It’s very charming.

Oh yes she was in "The Silkworm" , a part of the Cormoran Strike series and was great in that too. She has such a malleable face.

She's brilliant. I've also seen her in the theatre.

Netaporter · 26/02/2021 23:05

She was awesome in Alan Bennett’s talking heads. Loved the Bagnold summer film. Great actress.

DH went to school with her so we often watch out for her.

MintyCedric · 26/02/2021 23:20

She's amazing...her performance in the Silkworm is heartbreaking.

TottiePlantagenet · 26/02/2021 23:23

She was also in Wolf Hall, she had one particular short scene with Mark Rylance and she was outstanding.

bonnieliesovertheocean · 26/02/2021 23:33

Absolutely agree. She is pitch perfect in everything. She was in Small pleasures on radio 4 all this week. Love her.

IntermittentParps · 02/03/2021 13:59

Oh, she's wonderful. Love her in Witness For the Prosecution and W1A particularly.

She's in Official Secrets and Eye in the Sky both films directed by Gavin Hood.
