1) I was rather under the impression that Rebecca Front played the mother, not the grandma in that show? I may be wrong of course, but then I wasn't a huge fan of the show.
2) The only idea that Tamsin may have got from watching Front's performance was probably 'don't play a Jewish mum as if she were written by Nick Griffin'. Front played a cartoon Jew, whereas I thought Tamsin showed commendable restraint.
