Geraldine McNulty
She has played the character of Mrs Raven in My Hero, and had guest appearances in Neverwhere, Gimme Gimme Gimme, The Vicar of Dibley, The Smoking Room and The Catherine Tate Show. Radio work includes guesting on Parsons and Naylor's Pull-Out Sections and The Party Line. She also appeared in French & Saunders' Titanic in 1998 as an extra. She also appeared in Summerhill as Zoe Readhead.
McNulty played a one-woman show at Edinburgh Fringe in 1995, 10 Women In One Frock Show, and then developed one of the ten characters, Betty, into a one-woman musical. The following year she starred in the musical "Betty", again a solo show, in London's West End. "Betty" was written by Karen McLachlan and directed by Kathy Burke.
A Guardian article (by Simon Fanshawe, 13 February 2003) once featured the comment, “Dawn French is off to deliver a birthday present to her best friend, the actress Geraldine McNulty”. The photographs in French's book "Dear Fatty" are also of McNulty: "BF" in that book would appear to refer to her.
Comedian Craig Hill has talked about how seeing McNulty's play 10 Women In One Frock Show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1995 changed his life, making him switch from acting to comedy. He said "I don’t think I’d ever seen a show that made me want to be in it more. At the time I was an actor and not even thinking about doing stand-up but I was completely drawn to creating funny characters and making audiences laugh the way she did."

Have I Got News for You
Based on the week's news, Have I Got News for You is fronted by guest hosts and features two regular team captains, Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Each week the show invites two guests to cast a jaundiced eye over the week's news, resulting in a fast flow of anarchic, spontaneous and hugely entertaining wit and humour. Guests typically represent the world of politics, comedy, show-business and journalism, and are often themselves particularly newsworthy participants. The final touches of Have I Got News for You are put together only hours before recording, allowing guests to comment on the late-breaking news stories of the day.
Good Omens
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming war.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...
King and Conqueror
King and Conqueror is the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea. Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown.
