I missed the show at the start of the month, how come there have been no subsequent episodes? Is it because of the World Cup coverage?

I'm surprised that so few people on the thread have heard of Michelle Keegan.

She was in Coronation Street for years, then played the lead in "Our Girl" and is married to the TOWIE (The Only Way is Essex) reality TV personality Mark Wright.

So hardly "film star" famous but I would have expected people in the UK to be at least moderately familiar with her.

Having made the series, they broadcast this one as a one-off because there was a Suffragist angle which fitted in with the "Hear Her" theme they have been running.

Never watch soaps. "Our Girl" didn't appeal, and TOWIE appears to be entirely about people who spend their lives having beauty treatments.
So "another actress who's been on telly" is a good description as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't worry me, as I watch because of the stories, not because of the "celebrity". Some of the best ones have been about people whose on-screen personas I actively hate.
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.

Ah, I see....So it was sent out early to coincide with the recent anniversary of female suffrage, hence the yawning gap between it and the rest of the series.

I had been thinking how bizarre the scheduling looked from a conventional broadcasting angle.

Can't really raise any persuasive counter-arguments to your above listed reasons for not knowing who she is. I'm not an aficionado of soap operas such as Coronation Street or Eastenders either. I did watch last year's season of "Our Girl" but found the latest instalment to be dreadfully scripted. As for TOWIE, I am as disinterested in it as I am with any other vacuous reality TV show but I had heard through the grapevine of her marriage to one of its former "stars".

That said, I still recognized the lass from seeing her face on the telly and elsewhere in the media, although I agree this is not at all necessary for enjoyment of the program.
