That Olivia Colman return
Olivia Colman is back on the telly (apart from when her voice appears in adverts involving snack products called Jack and things to wipe your bum with that dogs find strangely attractive) on Thursday when Jonatahan Harvey’s new comedy Beautiful People begins on BBC2 at 9:30. As it’s by Harvey (although based on a book by not-Harvey) there will surely be gays and brassy women, and it’s directed by The Smoking Room director Gareth Carrivick. Her character Debbie Doonan is described as “a bottle-blonde barmaid in killer heels. Warm matriarch, forthright in her opinions to the point of foot in mouth. Would do anything for her family. Ever glamorous, Debbie likes a laugh and a drink. Allows her children to be whoever they want to be. Strong, loving, protective and funny. Doesn’t look before she leaps. Has a great right hook.” Hmm…
She’s also back on the radio at 11 that very same night in a new series of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, which you might like if you’re a Douglas Adams fan or just want to hear the voice of Doctor Who 5.0 Peter Davison. It’s on Radio 4 as if you couldn’t work that out for yourselves…
