Extras

Does anyone agree with me & Mrs W that the girl (sorry, don't know her name) who is the stooge to Ricky Gervais in Extras is absolutely brilliant? She plays the part so deadpan and her delivery is so well timed. And on a sexist note, didn't she scrub up well in the last episode? She looked quite stunning.

Her name is Ashley Jensen:

Yep I agree.  She is very funny.  Victoria Wood did the same thing in Dinnerladies,  playing a reasonably straight character and surrounding herself with some brilliant characters.

She is amazing, as I pointed out on Chatterbank last week. So funny and talented - she has now overtaken Jessica Stephenson as most fanciable 'tv personality' in my book.
