She joined the cast of Secret Diary of a Call Girl for its fourth series, as well as appearing in Doctor Who and Bedlam. She plays robot Anita in Humans, a role for which she has been nominated for a variety of awards. She is the girlfriend of comedian Jack Whitehall.

Add Gemma to my pile of favourites and we're off! (I'd planned to put her in one of my series in the future - recycling is a good thing, right? )
This is a very, very good cast (with a couple of exceptions who give me hives...) so I'm proper excited for this.

Glad you like Chris.
I think about 85% of this cast have been used by other people before so recycling is definitely a good thing.
