Nicola Walker

Just wondered what people's thoughts are of Nicola as an actress?

I thought she was amazing in Spooks as Ruth, she really worked well with Peter Firth. There were a few dark scenes which she played unbelievably!

Since then I've seen her in last tango in Halifax and more recently heading out. The latter I don't think is that great s show but it is worth watching just for her brilliant comedy performances!

Unfortunately I've not watched the bbc prog she's in at the money but am looking forward to Scott and Bailey soon

Only ever seen her in things as a bit part actress so it's hard to form an overall view of her.

She was good in the Jonathan Creek episode she appeared in.

Was she the one who was so horrendously awful in The Last Train?

One of the few good things in Chalk, think she's a great actress, especially in guest parts, she just comes in and does a brilliant performance.

She was good in Last Tango in Halifax but I haven't really seen much of her other work.

I don't know how she's had so much time to film everything but I love seeing her on TV. I knew she was a great actress from Spooks but her comedy acting has surprised me in Heading Out. It's really nice to see her not being serious all the time.

So did I, in an oh-god-it's-awful kind of a way. But the Harriet character was so unpleasant. I suppose that means she was a good actress, because I suppose they meant the character to be totally unlikeable, but when I've seen her in things since she just reminds me of Last Train...

Strangely, I've just been listening to an MP3 of a rather old BBC dramatisation of the novel 'Neuromancer' in which she's playing one of the central characters. She's quite good in it, although I don't think she could portray that character in a film adaption sadly...

She's one of those actresses who is instantly recognisable, but at the same time very versatile - the characters she plays in Prisoners' Wives and Heading Out are poles apart.

I walked past her at Baker Street station a couple of years ago. She looked like she was in a hurry so I didn't say anything (probably would've been too nervous anyway), but it's nice to know she still gets public transport!

Haha! She strikes me as just a normal person who can act really well. Not a celebrity just wants to do her job

I loved her guest stint in Jonathan Creek and she was great in Spooks. She had wonderful chemistry with Peter Firth.
