Statham was the secret lover of Joanna Clore, whom he ran away with after killing her dwarf cousin.

Angela Hunter moved in with Caroline. She could play the harp and always looked perfect, much to Caroline's dismay. She was played by Sarah Alexander, born in 1971 in London, England. Alexander was best known for her comedic talents in "Smack The Pony"(1999-2003).

Answer: Harriet Schulenburg

Harriet actually ended up having an affair with the IT expert, Lyndon. Her marriage was going through a bad patch and her husband was already threatening to leave. All of the admin staff were a bit mad and she was no exception. Harriet would either have a child with her that she had forgotten to take to school or even have forgotten to put on her skirt before arriving to work (usually late).

She was played by Olivia Colman, who has made appearances in "The Office" (2002) and also "That Mitchell and Webb Look" (2006-2008).

10. This was my favourite character from "Green Wing" (2004-2006) and one of my favourite actresses/comedians. She was played by the amazingly talented Michelle Gomez, had a Scottish accent. and had a huge crush on a certain blonde male doctor. Which character does this describe?

Answer: Sue White

Sue White actually married Mac in a secret ceremony when he was in a coma. She also took some of his sperm when he was in the coma and artificially inseminated herself, hoping to carry his child (it didn't work). Her performance was priceless. Michelle Gomez is a fantastic comedy actor and has been in "The Book Group" (2002-2003) and "Feel the Force" (2006).

She was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966.
