CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Holly Willoughby has a lot to learn about making a grand entrance. As an opening line, 'Excuse me,' isn't very quotable.
As an opening line, 'Excuse me,' isn't very quotable. Holly, who has waited 20 years and more for a cameo in her favourite show, doesn't have to worry about fans shouting it out like a catchphrase in the street.
Midsomer is renowned for squeezing unlikely guests into the line-up of victims and suspects. Claire Bloom, Edward Fox, Donald Sinden and Sian Phillips are among the theatrical giants who have graced the series, as well as countless television heavyweights. Every episode is guaranteed to have a couple of stars who make us say, 'Good lord – isn't that..?'
Holly landed her role more than two years ago, when Dudgeon appeared on This Morning. 'You're going to have to kill me off really quickly,' she warned, 'because I'm terrible at acting.' For the first hour or so, it looked as though that 'excuse me' might prove the limit of her ability with dialogue. But she popped up again, at Felix's shoulder, as he explained to the detectives what he had in the back of his car.
