Full Celia Imrie Biography
Celia Imrie (born 15 July 1952, Guildford, Surrey, England) is an English actress best known for appearing with Victoria Wood in Acorn Antiques and dinnerladies, and also for appearing in After You've Gone and Kingdom. She trained at the Guildford School of Acting.
Born to a Scottish father, Imrie has often been cast as Scottish 'schoolmistress' types. She lampooned affected faux-Scots accents often used by English actors in a Victoria Wood TV play entitled Val De Ree (Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha).
She has frequently appeared with Victoria Wood in TV programmes such as the sitcom dinnerladies and sketch show Victoria Wood As Seen On TV. It was on the latter show in 1985 that she first played the part of Miss Babs, owner of Acorn Antiques, a parody of the low budget British soap opera Crossroads. These sketches became such a British institution that the show were turned into a West End musical in 2005 starring the original cast.
Other series to feature Imrie include The Nightmare Man, Bergerac, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Absolutely Fabulous, The Darling Buds of May and Upstairs, Downstairs. In the 2000 mini series of Gormenghast she played Lady Gertrude. She also had a guest appearance in an episode of the Scottish TV sitcom Still Game in 2003, where she played a home help called Mrs Begg.
Her radio work includes parts in BBC Radio 4's No Commitments, Adventures of a Black Bag, and Bleak Expectations. She has also starred in the BBC sitcom, After You've Gone, alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst and in the ITV1 drama Kingdom, with Stephen Fry. |
