The same actors playing different parts in sitcoms or dramas

Joanna Lumley was in 2 eps of Are You Being Served playing different characters. Understandable though in a way as she was married to one of the writers.

Revised Ch4 Afternoons

countdown has been moved again...

That's your opinion - I prefer him to either Des or Jeff Stelling (and I like Des O'Connor and Jeff Stelling). Out of the Whiteley replacements, Nick is the only one I will specifically turn over to watch.

I don't see any soft focus, but I wish they wouldn't keep using that tracking shot. Why not have a black-and-white shaky cam over Kirsty's shoulder?
