BBC viewers might be surprised to see one actress swapping midwives and babies for comedy.
Actress Georgie Glen is well known for her role in Call the Midwife as receptionist Miss Higgins.
Whilst she’s prim and proper in Poplar, the actress has now changed things up as she’s taken on her most recent role in BBC comedy series Am I Being Unreasonable?
Georgie, 68, first appears in episode two of the second series of the BAFTA winning comedy series.
She plays the eccentric Mrs Baggot, who is a far cry from the organised and prim Miss Higgins which she has played in Call the Midwife since 2018.
Whilst she’s well known for her role in Call the Midwife, she’s also had roles in series including Waterloo Road and Ridley.
Her CV includes shows and films such as The Thick of It, Little Britain, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Heartbeat, Doc Martin, My Week With Marilyn, Les Misérables, The Evermoor Chronicles, Jackie, Hetty Feather, The Crown, The Cleaner, The Larkins and Inside No 9.
It’s not just TV that Georgie has appeared on as she’s also taken on the big screen, and previously starred in Calendar Girls in 2003.
Georgie starred alongside Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Annette Crosbie, and Harriet Thorpe in the hit movie about a Yorkshire WI group that produced a nude calendar to raise money for Leukaemia Research.
The move into comedy for Georgie comes as the second season of Am I Being Unreasonable? which is airing on BBC Two.
The series was the brainchild of Daisy and co-writer and co-star Selin Hizli, with the pair coming up with the storyline during the pandemic.

Selin added: “I knew you were just at home doing nothing because so was the rest of the world. So I knew you couldn’t come up with a good excuse so I could just force you to be my friend.”
