Who Me?
I took over from Bree Martin when she had to miss some filming, I gather her mother was unwell at the time and I was called in at short notice.
I've been in 2 series of Channel 4 "No Angels," about 3 seasons of "Where the Heart Is," a couple of seasons of "Peak Practice," some of the single dramas written by Kay Mellor such as "A Good Thief," "Gifted," and some series such as "Playing the Field," "Life on Mars," and other Yorkshire/Manchester Productions.
I've also made short drama and factual films for such events as the Leeds International Film Festival such as "Motherwood," "Loss," etc.
I am currently making some programmes called "Out and About," designed to get people out in the countryside for the benefit of their health, especially people with mobility impairments.
On stage I've played Hecabe (Hecuba) in "Women of Troy," Volumnia in "Coriolanus," Boxer in a devised version of Orwell's "Animal Farm," and I used to do a number of summer seasons in North Wales such as the Whitehall Farces, running from June to the end of September, namely "Key for Two," "Run for your Wife," etc.
I also directed youth theatre at The Met Arts Centre, Bury. Ages 8-11, 12 &13, and 14-16, plus an adult theatre group for people with disabilities, this was called Met Express.
Since 2008 I have worked for regional fire services- five years with Merseyside and with Greater Manchester since then. I am also a Community Fire Cadet drill instructor and a Brownie Leader. But I couldn't eat a whole one.
