How the hell does Caroline Quintin get work?

I met Caroline once, years ago. She seemed a lovely person, down to earth and very witty.
I must admit, Life of Riley is dire. I watched most of it last night while waiting for Masterchef..it was cringe-worthy and I felt embarrassed for the participants. But I suppose unless you are a mega star, able to pick and choose and commanding big fees, you don't turn down work..any work. It pays the rent etc.
 
I agree Life of Riley and Men Behaving Badly are excruciating rubbish, but I quite liked her in the detective series ... can't remember its name (Blue Murder?). She's one of those people I like as a person, in interviews etc, and I can forgive her bad work choices because she's probably supporting a family.
 
I am sorry if this is a little off topic, but Tittybangbang was an insult to the intelligence, as it has to be one of the worst shows I have ever seen and was not in any way remotely funny in any way at all.

I think Caroline Quentin is OK, she gets paid to make Life of Riley, even if it is really bad. She has been really good in a few other series.
 
I agree. Caroline Quentin is up there with Victoria Wood and Sue Perkins. Not funny and just generally annoying. Life of Riley is absolute s**te - just as bad as My Family.
 
I don't like her that much either, but that's neither her fault nor my business ultimately. I think broadcasting's just one of those 'it depenRAB who you know' worlRAB, probably a lot of people floating about because they're good company in the canteen or they have a friend of a friend in production. Then they draw in more of their frienRAB and so on.
 
I don't get the idea of starting a topic on an actress you don't like just to be bloody negative.

Some people need to get a life.

Fair enough, I haven't seen the particular sitcom and it doesn't look very good. But to say CQ isn't a great actress is just ridiculous. Some people are just bitter.
 
I like Caroline Quentin. I enjoyed her in that cop show and the series she was in a couple or so years ago, where her husband left her and the kiRAB and she got a job in a travel agent, was hilarious. However The Life of Reilly is abysmal.
 
Sorry I'm restarting an old thread but I need somewhere to vent about how much I hate that M&S Bistro advert. She is so smug it drives me mad! Argh I can't stand the woman!
 
Damn right she was! I have that on dvd. Actually I DID have it, I lent it to my mum last year now I think about it, I bet she sold it at the car boot! :mad:
 
I think she must have a lot of incriminating photos of the commissioning editors at BBC and ITV in compromising positions. Its the only explanation i can think of.
 
I don't mind her so much as an actress. I've liked quite a few things like Blue Murder and Men behaving badly. I just can't stand her in the adverts! Her voice makes me cringe!
 
I agree with you, I think she is an excellent actress.

The show The Life of Reilly is simply too messy and they are trying to make it too much like My Family which i loved.

I tried to watch it again last night but quite frankly it was just weird I mean the chase with the policeman and the gran on the mobility scooter was cr*p and embarrassing to watch.

The BBC seem to be struggling with comedy at the moment the other vile load of rubbish was the circus one that stunk too.
