I first came across Tamsin in Black Books and loved her character. I still remember the episode where she gets a delivery to her shop of a strange round thing the size of a volley ball with a little spigot pointing out of it. Nobody can figure out what it is but the episode ends with somebody showing how to work this arty-farty cigarette lighter. Her manic dippiness in Black Books was infectious.

This is really heartening. I applied to drama schools and didn’t get into the big ones. In fact, Staffordshire university of all places, who are not exactly known for having a great drama department (it was a back up option because I’m local), rejected me and told me to give up because I apparently just didn’t have it and would never get anywhere in acting (he could not explain what ‘it’ is, either, claims he has an instinct). He told me to try working behind the camera. It hurt. But I ended up going to an actual theatre school. And I have an agent. And I’ve had acting work. Now it’s just a matter of finding the next step up. Acting is the one thing I can say with confidence that I am good at. It’s the only thing I could ever imagine myself doing. There is no plan B. I love it, and I am good at it, and I will never give up.

Heartwarming story! And how the hell those guys can say things like "You should give up you just don't have it"? I mean that's just so wrong and wing-cutting wtf. Those people's words are dealing with people's whole careers and their self-beliefs here. They should choose words more carefully than in any sphere of life maybe. I'm of a conviction we can do 95% of things as long as we have a dedication to be beter every day. "Every skill is learnable". Anyway thanks for the life-affirming story! Hope to see you in something great one day! )

@Rob Brydon I auditioned for Central School and remember the trauma of the sifting process... finally being split into two groups - one that had got through and the one that hadn't. Terrifying! I got through and spent three wonderful years. Carrie Fisher was in the year above me, left in '77 and went straight into Star Wars. 'Green Wing' was one of my all-time favourite TV shows, followed by 'Episodes'!! I slowly fell in love with Tamsin - what an amazing actor. I'd love to work with either of you two, anything coming up? I'm a young 65... x

Everything Tamsin has done is wonderful, but for me the epitome is as Anne Trenchard in Belgravia. The sadness and anguish underlying that character, just sitting beneath the surface, is played with such dignity, which funnily enough is how she also does comedy. From Fran in BB to Caroline Todd in Green Wing, or Jackie in Friday Night Dinner, there's always a sense that beneath the situation there's a whole other world where she is thinking, really, is this it, why am I here? How did this happen? I could be doing something else, surely? In comedy this comes across as hilarious. In drama it's heartbreaking, but completely involving.

Ah Tamsin is every bit as lovely as I hoped she'd be however I do have a point of order. I myself have used the 'fall down seven times get up eight metaphor' on occasion and used it, only last year, on my now nearly seven year old grandson. He looked at me and said 'No Grandad you get up seven times'. And he's right you know🙂

Rob is fantastic, Tamsin is amazing, but the full version of this on Spotify is one of the less wonderful interviews. Lots of awkward bits, not going with each others stories or picking up on each others humour - likely at times due to the delay in the call.

@@gilliankirby I didn't watch the interview, I was referring to the tag line underneath. My time isn't precious and I've wanted to get my opinion about Greig off my chest for a while - she represents a form of smugness and entitlement that I have long resented. I can't be the only person who finds her irritatingly self-regarding ergo I wanted to give these people a voice, as is my right.
