Sally Phillips - Sitcom Spotlight

[@tomgarb6302]

Great actress. I really starting to miss these videos

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Great video. Being part of the 'Smack the Pony' sketch show crew is probably the closest she got to a lead part but she's always a fun presence when she turns up in shows.

She never feels like she's a supporting character though. Always a big presence.

National Treasure and brilliant in Veep as in everything else she is involved with.

[@Knappa22]

Miranda and Green Wing are my faves, particularly the rather dark role she played in the latter

[@jamesatkinsonja]

She also popped up on one of the last Friday night Dinner episodes as the family's Swiss Au Pair using her Finish PM voice from Veep! Hippies and Jam and Jerusalem are good 'forgotten sitcoms' candidates if you review a connected show.

Great actress, one of the best. ✌️😙

Elevates every line given to her. Along with dawn French and Matt Lucas I can't think of better comedy actors, except Maggie smith.

Definitely a comedy treasure. Sally does have one lead role, of course, as the well-intentioned but frequently bamboozled titular social worker, Clare, in the long-running BBCR4 sitcom 'Clare in the Community'. It's a mid-ranker in terms of being laugh-out-loud funny, in my opinion, but is very consistent and engaging and she's great in the central role. I wonder if there is something of the Kevin Bishop phenomenom about Sally. So classically good-looking, it's easy to wrongly assume they couldn't be that funny. Discuss.

I was never really aware or her until she did Task Master... I mean - yes - I'd seen her in stuff, but was not ... I didn't know her name etc. Then... TM... and I fell in love. This woman could fill my life in a breath. So cute. So funny. I would say so intelligent... but... meh... heheheh. Her work around mental health (she has a son with special needs) and her personal struggles... I mean wow... at "our" age - perfect woman!
