Thank you! Mind, it's not difficult when you've got Julia Sawalha to work with. (And, hey, I didn't realise you knew Press Gang! :-D Or possibly I had forgotten, in which case, bad me. Whoops.)
I do! Not intensely fannishly, but I loved it. And have dragged people down to the TV to watch this amazing show that they might not have bothered with because it's cunningly disguised as a kids' show.
Thank you! naarmamo is supposed to be 'art' (*cough*) so I like to play around with different things for it.
And, wow, you even know On The Up as well? It was my sister's favourite show as a teenager, and she watched it so much I ended up v fond of it, too. And, yes, Jenna did - I didn't know till a couple of years ago. "It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere... la la la..."
I made a mistake in my comment - I was thinking Maggie was the actress's name!
However. I looked up 'On the Up' on the IMDb, and yes, I *do* know it! I didn't remember it by the title though, it was reading the blurb and realising it starred Dennis Waterman that jogged my memory. I used to watch it every time it was on. If I'm remembering the characters correctly, I wanted Tony and Maggie to get together so much.
I'm starting to think I watched *way* too much TV in those days!
:lol: Yes, it was written by Bob Larbey, so even though it wasn't one of the outstanding ones, it was still quite funny and sweet. It had Joan Sims as Mrs Wembley, too - "Just the one, Mrs Wembley!" Oh, dear - Maggie ended up with Sam instead, didn't she? V unlikely, but also quite sweet. But then Sam Kelly was my fave thing about On The Up: "I'm always silly. It's just more noticeable in the mornings." :-)

It really is, isn't it? Now, I know that Steven Moffat has done one or two things since, but I'm not sure that Press Gang isn't still the best.

I never knew she sang the Red Dwarf theme tune! Or maybe I did and have forgotten. It was fun to sing along to. :oD
