grrrr

CountessDracula · 08/02/2008 12:17

good news re work!
Lots of commissions?

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 12:22

the girl who plays Shazza - was she in Love Soup, if anyone saw that a while ago ?

PixelHerder · 08/02/2008 12:30

Oh yes I remember grapefruit Fresca, t'wasn't that bad iirc (probably don't though, it was a long time ago...)

I'm another one that was 16 in 1981 - show's obviously aimed at us then (though DH enjoyed it and he's much older than me).

Pixel - this is confusing, there are nearly two of us! I recently namechanged and hadn't noticed that I was copying anyone

DaDaDa · 08/02/2008 12:41

I remember Fresca - advert with a polar bear, raises sunglasses and says to camera 'it's frothy man' - and I'm much younger than you lot.

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 12:42

that was Cresta, not Fresca

CountessDracula · 08/02/2008 12:43

NO that was Cresta

fresca
Cresta

DaDaDa · 08/02/2008 12:44

You're only right an' all.

Sorry. Carry on!

procrastinatingparent · 08/02/2008 12:47

MaryAnnSingleton

Yes, she was - took me a little while to place her.

Glad somebody else watched Love Soup - felt like I was the only one!

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 12:47

yes it was her...www.bbc.co.uk/drama/lovesoup/

DaDaDa · 08/02/2008 12:51

She was also in a Mint (credit card) advert where her boyfriend sneezes her parents across a restaurant.

She seems to have carved out a niche playing slightly drippy characters.

MrsTweedy · 08/02/2008 12:56

CD at broken rib, had no idea!
Yes, commissions & website (dp's, not mine)

Are we all staying up to watch PG on Jonathan Woss tonight?

mcfee · 08/02/2008 12:58

Yup! glass (bottle) of house cheap at the ready

bobsmum · 08/02/2008 13:01

I liked Love Soup - except for Trudi

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 13:02

yes,we're going to watch him !

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 13:02

love Tamsin Greig !

marina · 08/02/2008 13:04

Love Soup back soon apparently but in a different format and minus the American writer
That last scene in the theatre was just so sad and true

procrastinatingparent · 08/02/2008 13:13

No! They can't get rid of Gil!

I demand a happy ending to new Love Soup!

hippipotami · 08/02/2008 13:17

No,you are wrong. The actress playing Shaz in Ashes to Ashes is called Monsarrat Lombard. She was indeed the girl with the sneezy boyfriend in the Mint Card advert.

But she was not in Love Soup. That is Tamsin Greig. Who was also in that absurd medical drama comedy thing, with the two blokes that are in teh Barclaycard ads.
Green Wing? Something like that.

Love Tamsin Greig, want to be Tamsin Greig.

Loved Ashes to Ashes too. Never seen the attraction of Philip Glennister before, but now I heart him....

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 13:18

au contraire hippi - the drippy assistant on the cosmetics counter was Shazza girl...I wouldn't confuse her with the magnificent Tamsin - dh loves her !

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 13:19

btw Green Wing was fabulous !

marina · 08/02/2008 13:21

The actor playing Gil returned to the US apparently
Possibly as a result of being made to get up close and personal with Trudi Styler, poor love

MaryAnnSingleton · 08/02/2008 13:22

Trudi Styler is a bit eeww, no ?

marina · 08/02/2008 13:26

It must be having to live with Sting
Frances Tomelty was similarly glassy-eyed

hippipotami · 08/02/2008 13:31

Okay, I bow to your superiour knowledge

I did wonder how you could confuse drippy shazza with the fab Tamsin

Green Wing was just the funniest, strangest, weirdest programme ever. We loved it in this house!!
