Character & Cast

Mrs Meagles is a simple, good-hearted soul who enjoys being a doting wife and mother. Like her husband and daughter, she is well-meaning but not always as sensitive as she might be - in particular, not always stopping to consider how it might feel for the family's young servant girl, Tattycoram, to be bossed around quite as much as she is. However, she considers Tatty to be one of the family and would be devastated if anything happened to her.

A familiar face in television comedy series, Janine Duvitski has had roles in One Foot in the Grave, Alas Smith & Jones and My Family.
