Sarah Alexander

Alexander: I'd like to be the first British curling champion!

Sarah: (about her character Susan) Susan is very tolerant - I would have booted Steve out years ago!

Alexander: Having started in theatre, for a long time I wanted to be a classical actress. But I've always loved making people laugh - at school I was quite mischievous and bit by bit I found myself working more and more in comedy.

Alexander: In my spare time I like to practice my curling and walk the dog I don't have.

Sarah: (about her character Susan) It's great fun coming back because we really enjoy ourselves. My character is very grounded, sorted and confident in her sexuality. Her comedy comes from her directness, which means she sometimes puts her foot in it, but you always know where you are with her. She's a good-time girl who enjoys her life and her man. I've certainly learned a few lessons from her about self-belief, but we also catch glimpses of her being slightly insecure, out of her depth, which is very funny.

Alexander: My most embarrassing moment was in Rome, working, bit lonely, saw Andi Peters in the street and in a rather desperate manner ran up to him and kissed him. I thought I knew him. I didn't.

Sarah: I do not understand the pleasure of being so famous. I just don't get it. I love acting and doing the work. That's what it's all about for me.
