The Cage
Season 6, Episode 5

Mum is in hospital having a 'woman's procedure', so Aunty Val is tasked with making the Friday night dinner. To Adam and Jonny's horror, she spends most of the evening glued to a dating app, before showing them several photos of semi-naked men. Val is especially obsessed with one guy, who goes by the name of Loverboy 309. The object of her lust is picking Val up from the house in 40 minutes. Thus begins an evening of hell for the Goodmans, as Val forces them to eat their lamb dinner in record time. Comedy, starring Paul Ritter, Simon Bird, Tom Rosenthal, Tamsin Greig and Tracy-Ann Oberman

Tamsin Greig (Actor) .. Jackie
Born: June 12, 1966 in Kent
Best Known For: Green Wing, Love Soup and Episodes.
Early-life: Born on July 12, 1966, in Kent. She is descended from a Scottish grandfather on her dad's side and a Jewish great-grandfather from Poland on her mum's side. She grew up in Kilburn, north London, and showed a talent for acting at an early age - she claims, as a middle child, it was her way of getting attention. Tamsin graduated from the University of Birmingham with a degree in drama. Before breaking into showbusiness, she was an administrator for the Family Planning Association.
Career: Greig achieved a cult following playing Debbie Aldridge in The Archers on Radio 4 and had early TV roles in Blue Heaven, Neverwhere, Faith in the Future and Wycliffe. In 2000, the sitcom Black Books helped boost her profile. She had a cameo in 2004 movie Shaun of the Dead, and in the same year appeared in the first series of cult medical sitcom Green Wing, for which she received a Royal Television Society award and a Bafta nomination. She's also featured in Doctor Who and took a key role in romantic comedy- drama Love Soup. Stage credits include the Royal Shakespeare Company's Complete Works Festival. Greig won a Laurence Olivier Award for her role in Much Ado About Nothing. Recent TV work includes the sitcoms Friday Night Dinner and Episodes, and black comedy series Inside No 9.
Quote: 'The Archers fans touch you much more than the TV fans. They come up to you and hug you because they think you're a part of their family.'

They performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 2007 and 2008, receiving favourable coverage in the national press.

Three series of The Inbetweeners was followed by a hugely successful movie version. The movie sequel was released in August 2014. He has also hosted comedy panel show The King is Dead and starred in Friday Night Dinner and Chickens.
