Default Who is this actress in funny video??

YouTube - Funny Sexy Secretary Bend Over

I hope members will enjoy this little comedy video I saw on YouTube anyway but my question is who is the actress? She's a familiar face/voice from shows like Taggart etc, I think. One of those husky voiced charmers from Scottish programmes. Maureen Beattie or her sister, Louise? Patricia Kerrigan? Siobhan Redmond? Somebody like that...

Thinking caps on again, boys and girls!

Not too good on visuals, but is it Karen Dunbar who used to appear with Kiernan and Hemphill on Chewin' the Fat?

Sorry could not figure out who she was....was to busy looking elsewhere on that clip.

There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.

It is indeed Karen Dunbar - I wrote a few sketches for her BBC Scotland sketch show The Karen Dunbar Show. This I think is Chewin' the Fat, however.

All men leak.

Well done, Jackdaw and Graeme! Initially, I found it difficult to believe it was her because in every other pic I've seen of her she's pulling weird faces, dressed oddly, behaving like a maniac and in various contortions but, like you, a big Chewin the Fat fan confirmed it was Karen. Very pretty here too but I gather there's no point in dreaming as she...er...bats for the other side! Interesting that so many Scottish actresses have rich voices.

Thanks all!

I think we've been conversing here and on You Tube as our various alter-egos!

Karen played some wonderful characters in Chewin' the Fat.
Off-hand I remember the lonely and desperate assistant in the local shop, the suicidal cab-despatcher, and the old lady, who when asked for her wartime recollections by a docu crew, regales them with tales of her sexual exploits complete with foul, descriptive language!
This, of course, from a sketch show that depended on character comedy rather than mere repetition of catchphrases.

Graeme, you do like different user names, don't you??

Being old fashioned I admit I thought I was talking to a bird...
