Favourite line from the show: Mrs Roach says, “My husband had magic fingers. Before he lost his arms. Macaroon?”
It’s beautifully British and the dark comedy, which has a real sadness to it, captures the horror of the situation whilst also keeping up that “Keep Calm and Carry On Spirit!”. Just love-er-ly!
Name: Beth Atkin
Role: Mrs Allardyce
Fun Fact: I’m originally from the sunny northern city of Sheffield, so perfecting the Northern accent hasn’t been too much of a challenge for me! I’m most excited about making my professional debut in such a brilliant, heartwarming show like Betty Blue Eyes.
