Great actress


Really enjoyed her performances in Last Tango in Halifax and Scott and Bailey. What else would you recommend her in?

reply

Unforgotten

reply

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm watching it now. (I was pleasantly surprised to see the actor who played Bricktop in Snatch had a cameo.)

reply

She's also great in River. Pretty good in Collateral, also. Both series are on Netflix and are very short. Four episodes for Collateral and six for River, each an hour long.

reply

I watched both of those before she was on my radar. I'm going to try them again now, thanks!

reply

Agree! She is brilliant in Unforgotten and LTIH. (I recommend Happy Valley too, which stars her Halifax co-star Sarah Lancashire).

See if you can spot Nicola in one of her earliest roles, Four Weddings and a Funeral.

reply

Happy Valley is one of my favorites. That's how I was introduced to LTIH, actually. I'm going to keep an eye out for the movie.

You can check her out in Touching Evil (1997-1999) It’s on Amazon Prime in the US. She was in Spooks also called MI-5 (2002-2011). She started that show in 2003.

reply

I'm going to check both of those out, thanks!

reply

The Split is pretty good, too....

reply

Everything.

I think we're on the same page.

She is a good actress, but she is just the speaker of words that someone else wrote ... so it depends on what program she is in ... she cannot make something good all by herself.

reply

I'll watch anything with her in it.....and is there any actor out there that can portray the strength of having to carry the world on one's shoulders weariness better than her?

reply

she is great in Unforgotten

reply

Did you see her in the third season of Scott and Bailey?....

I just loved her in the third season of Unforgotten. I can't believe that show doesn't receive a lot more publicity.

reply

I have not seen that series.

reply

She guest stars in three or four episodes of the third season...kind of a temporary recurring role.

It is not too bad of a series.
