Caroline Quentin

Caroline Quentin, born 11th June 1961 in Reigate, Surrey, England, UK is a popular British television actress of substantial girth (which is refreshing).

Initial fame came from British comedian husband Paul Merton (now divorced) and a co-starring role in "Men Behaving Badly" but is now very much a star in her own right and is pRobably the first female name on any British TV production wish list.
