Was Joanna Scanlan (Terri) not conspicuously the most hilarious in S4?


A quasi-rhetorical question. This fact occurred to me while watching her at the inquiry in episode 6.

I feel the majority of the other actors were a little too self-aware somehow. But she was the right kind of dry throughout.

I don't know about the rest of the series, but yeah, I thought she was really very funny during the inquiry. Her scenes with Polly Kemp/Robyn (who was great as well) were brilliant - with a slightly less 'tense' atmosphere than the rest. Brought a bit of relief to the, erm, rest of the comedy.

She's quite good in S3 -

Agreed, something about the other actors and the inquiry just didn't work that well, probably my least favorite episode. Terri was excellent!
