Enjoying a programme is very much "each to their own" isn't it? Alison Steadman has always appealed to me but I can hardly bear to watch anything in which the gurning, over acting Suranne Jones is in!! I cannot think why she has so much coverage. She (to my way of thinking) plays every role in the same manner. Perhaps her nasal voice is what irritates.
I know what you mean about Suranne Jones, but I thought her role in ‘Gentleman Jack’, (think that’s the right title) was well acted.
I agree about the gurning though.
Mind you, to me Alison Steadman has fallen into the trap of sounding the same in every role, and I always think that when she speaks in a more ‘posh’ voice, it sounds artificial.
