Like the BBC W1A series 3 is easier to admire than love

"How about a BBC News forecast app? Like the weather forecast but with emojis. Each day, it'll be, like, Italy: smiley face. Syria: droopy mouth. Russia: angry face." Unfold your Brompton bike because W1A (BBC Two) was back for a third series of self-reflexive BBC satire and management gobbledegook.

Ophelia Lovibond interview

Ophelia Lovibond, who counts Caroline Flack and Jack Whitehall among her friends, said she also hopes to achieve success on stage: "Oh my God, I would love to go on stage so much. I'm undignified with how badly I want it."

Evening Standard, 15th April 2015

If you're watching Mr Sloane, Sky Atlantic's new 1969-set dramedy, you'll have been enjoying the performance of fabulously-named Ophelia Lovibond, as a hippie chick love interest. A Bond girl in waiting, if ever there was one, Miss Lovibond says she gets fan mail delightfully mis-addressed to "Ophelia Lovely-bum". It's a silly name, but as my fellow credit-watchers will know, far from the silliest. A gentleman called Speed Weed is a producer on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Tip Tipping was a top stuntman working on The Bill and Doctor Who until his sad death in 1993 and it's always worth looking out for 'Cricket Sloat' in the closing credits. Despite a name best-suited to the stage, he/she works various roles in the camera and electrical department.

Ophelia Lovibond on playing Robin in Mr Sloane

It is easy to see why she has already been likened to Woody Allen's original muse Diane Keaton. Apart from their shared striking looks, her comic timing is impeccable.

Mr Sloane preview

Ophelia Lovibond is one of the UK's most exciting new actresses, and she's great at playing a free-spirited young American in Mr. Sloane and I hope this is the start of many more roles for her.
