A little while back we watched an old comedy show called "So Haunt Me" 
and the rather snotty teenage daughter looked familiar ... after 
looking it up on the internet, it was one of the first roles Laura 
Howard played, just a few years before she started playing Cully 
Barnaby in "Midsomer Murders".

The mother on that comedy show was played by Tessa Peake-Jones, who, 
among many other roles, plays the housekeeper Mrs Chapman on 
Grantchester. She was also in the 2013 Doctor Who Christmas Special, 
playing Marta.
