Sally Phillips:

Sally Phillips started her career in comedy guesting in friends' Edinburgh festival shows (Arthur Smith, Lee and Herring). She established her television career playing the corpsing receptionist 'Sophie' in I'm Alan Partridge. Since then she has, together with Doon Mackichan and Fiona Allen, with 3 series of Smack the Pony, proved that you can be attractive, female and funny all at the same time. Sally is developing her career as a film actress. Having starred in Bridget Jones' Diary last year, she has just finished filming Gladiatress.

Naomie Harris:

Naomie Harris is one of Britain's fastest up and coming actresses. She graduated from Cambridge University in 1998, and from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in 2000. Naomie shot to fame last year, playing Serena in 28 Days Later, directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) and written by Alex Garland (The Beach), Clara in the television adaptation of Zadie Smith's White Teeth and Maggie in The Project (BBC).

Greta Scacchi:

Greta has had a prolific international film career, having made European, American and Australian films. Sometimes typecast as the glamourous seductress, her varied roles actually extend from the seductive Lady Diana Broughton in White Mischief to the demure Mrs Weston, friend to Gwyneth Paltrow's Emma. Greta has starred with Harrison Ford in crime thriller Presumed Innocent and with Tim Robbins in Hollywood satire The Player. Her role opposite Alan Rickman in 1990 TV movie Rasputin earned Greta an Emmy award and a Golden Globe nomination for outstanding supporting actress. Most recently Greta played the 'sexy' Margaret Thatcher in TV drama Jeffrey Archer: The Truth.
