Who does Alison Steadman play in the cast of Here We Go on BBC One?
The cast of sitcom Here We Go on BBC One is comedy gold, with TV ledge Alison the main draw in a long line of talent.
She plays Sue Jessop, the grandmother of the Jessop family – and not quite as doddery as you might think (actually sharp as a tack).
Mostly, she likes feeding her son Paul with cake, fudge, or basically anything that could induce a heart attack.
The TV legend is in her element as Paul’s cake-pushing mum Sue Jessop, the well-meaning grandparent.
We know Alison can nail comedy – just look at her performances as Pam Shipman in Gavin & Stacey and Betty Simpson in Fat Friends.
But the 75-year-old recently proved she can play a cold, hard bitch as company boss Anita Jenkins in Rules of the Game.
Of course, Alison is perhaps best known for her role as Wendy in the Mike Leigh film Life is Sweet in 1990, and Mrs Bennet in the popular 1995 series of Pride and Prejudice.
She’s appeared in hit dramas The Singing Detective, The Syndicate and Orphan Black.
Alison was also heartbreakingly good as cuckolded woman Gail Reynolds in Life.
However, she’s best known for her comedy roles in the likes of Boomers, The Worst Week of my Life, and Adrian Mole: The Cappucino Years.
