[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 444133, member: 23"] This is one a project where some faces are familiar, but none leap out at me as being part of that familiar little repertory company in the way that Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Duncan Preston and the like did. I think quite a number of [I]H49[/I] actors popped up again in [I]Mid-Life Christmas.[/I] Funnily enough, when I watched this time, I could easily envisage Julie W. playing the shrewish sister-in-law who keeps putting Nella down because of her "nerves". The bubbly neighbour (played by Sally Bankes, I'm fairly sure) was a standout this time round. She's so warm and funny and lightened a few potentially heavy moments. I loved that scene where she's telling Nella all her family business from the open bathroom window. Her daughter opens the window to complain about her mother's lack of tact, and is then criticised (by the mother from [U][I]her[/I][/U] still open window) for letting the draught in. And there was another actress where I was completely distracted trying to place where I knew her very familiar face from. It was Marcia Warren, and I'm fairly sure I mainly know her as the dotty neighbour Vera in that 80s sitcom [I]No Place Like Home[/I]. Oh yes. There are a million of "ons" "ins" and "upons" here. Some of them probably quite funny. [/QUOTE]
