Actress Name

[rogie]

What is the name of the actress on the tesco mobile advert whoes daughter gets stuck in the cat flap. I have seen her in lots of things.

[rogie]

Thanks everyone. Have seen her in a few things but just can't recall what........Hopefully someone can put a name to the face.

I think she may be the actress who was the only young black nurse in one of the series of Angels way back in the 70s/80s. She became fairly well known but I can't recall her name.

[rogie]

Thanks Cully.....I will check that out......fingers crossed.

[rogie]

Finally.....Thank you cully......Her name is Angela Bruce. Thanks all.

[cully]

rogie, that IS the actress I was thinking of but are we convinced she's the actress in the Tesco ad?? Angela would be 66 now and the "daughter" would have to be a granddaughter.....

[Mamyalynne]

It's not Angela Bruce, a resemblance yes but not her.

[rogie]

Of course cully and Mamyalynne........It couldn't be her unless she has aged very well....but she was the person I was thinking about. A very good likeness maybe. As for who it actually is....we may never know, but I'm happy that I found out who I thought it was.....if that makes sense.

[Flonska]

Could it be Angela Griffiths?

[cully]

Angela Griffiths is much dollier than the actress in the ad, IMHO.

[Flonska]

I "pinged" an e-mail to Tesco Customer Services to see if someone in the Media Dept could shed any light . . .

Here is the answer I got:-

"Dear Customer,

Thank you for your email.

Due to confidentiality I am unable to provide you with this information.

Thanks again for contacting us."

Perhaps its strap line should be changed to very little help?

[Mamyalynne]

Interesting reply, I did find a link from March when they ran a competition for people wanting to star in their new run of ads.

So maybe these aren't professional actors?

[Flonska]

Mamy - keep this confidential but I won't be buying a Tesco Mobile anytime soon!

[Mamyalynne]

Ha. me neither lol.
