Kim Newson charts the Cape Wrath actress's rise to fame.

"At 37, Lucy Cohu is challenging Sarah Parish, 38, as TV's best late-developing actress. Parish emerged from Peak Practice in 1999 to take her first big lead role in 2002's Cutting It, and ever more challenging parts have followed.

Likewise, Cohu worked through a series of support roles in her 20s, including a sexy major in Soldier Soldier, before her 2005 portrayal of Princess Margaret in The Queen's Sister propelled her into the big league. She's done well in Cape Wrath, and she pulls out all the stops as an abuse victim's mother in C4's powerful Forgiven.

Next up she plays Einstein's wife and muse in a drama also starring Parish's three-time screen partner David Tennant. Look over your shoulder, Sarah."
