The only other show I’ve been in that scored so highly on the cool-o-meter is Skins. Teenagers practically fell at my feet when they realised I was Michelle’s mum. But this is much better because my kids have never had occasion to care about anything I’ve done before. It’s great to think of all of us watching a show we’d have been watching anyway on Christmas Day, but with the huge added bonus (or maybe embarrassment for them) of my being in it. Plus all their mates will have seen it too, and all their mates’s parents and grandparents and pets: “Fame, I’m going to live forever, I’m going to learn how to fly.”
