Sarah knew that she wanted to act from a very young age: "But I kept it quiet. My father was a television director and producer, working on documentaries and current affairs programmes including Panorama, and I didn't think he'd find acting a sensible option.



"But as soon as I'd finished my A-levels I got on a train to Edinburgh and that was it."



She continues: "Having started in theatre, for a long time I wanted to be a classical actress. But I've always loved making people laugh - at school I was quite mischievous and bit by bit I found myself working more and more in comedy.



"Then I met up with Ben Miller and Alexander Armstrong and we started doing lots of stuff for the Paramount Channel.



"Meanwhile I appeared in Drop the Dead Donkey and Red Dwarf and I eventually ended up as part of the regular team in Smack the Pony."
