In the hour-long television adaptation of David Walliams's 2015 novel Grandpa's Great Escape, the actress, 59, plays money-hungry villain Miss Dandy - who poses as a vicar to gain the trust of families (left). Dressed in glasses, false teeth and black robes, she convinces them to put their elderly relatives in her old people's home Twilight Towers. Here, she feeds them sleeping pills, forges their wills so she is the sole beneficiary and waits for them to die. Speaking of her part in the fifth TV adaptation of the book by David Walliams (right, with Sir Tom Courtenay, as Grandpa), which airs on New Year's Day, she said: 'I love playing villains - they're so much more interesting than nice people. It's so easy, it comes naturally.'
