I can't find the thread now, but someone (possibly in DTA) was asking who played Usha's Aunty Satya before Jamila Massey. It was Lalita Ahmed.
Well, I didn't see the join, which must be a tribute to both actRESSES. (Prefer the feminine term, me. It just seems right, and I know we don't have doctresses, etc, but some things just are as they are..)
I have often wondered why Usha seems to be closer to her aunt than to her parents, though. c/lx
I've heard an argument to the effect that doctors, bus conductors etc do essentially the same work be they male or female, but a male actor plays men whereas a femake actor plays women, so subtly different work.

Unless you're playing a pantomime dame or a principal boy, of course.
ooh it was moi asking mr.k. thanks so much. now as you're in the mood to talk about actors , how about if alan rickman......
I think because Usha and her aunt are more educated than her parents.
Also her parents seem to suffer from travel phobia, perhaps ever since arriving from Uganda.
Or unless you are (or were) Alistair Sim, Alec Guiness, Timothy Spall, Rupert Everett...etc, etc.
Or Fiona Shaw playing Richard II.
Or an actor playing, say, a doctor in The Archers, who at the time of writing might be male or female.
oh talkingof fiona shaw, mr.k, she was aunt petunia to alan rickmans snape in 'harry potter' films, you know.
Who is this Alan Rickyard of which you speak? :o)
