TV star Angela Griffin has managed to bag her own daytime talk show on Sky Satalite TV.

Angela and Friends can be seen on Sky1 HD and Sky1 -weekdays at 2pm.

This woman fascinates me. She has to be the luckiest TV actress of colour in this country!

Angela got her first big TV role back in 1993 at the age of 17, when she was chosen to play the role of Fiona Middleton in Britain’s longest running soap Coronation Street.

She left the show in 1998 and since then has never been out of work. Unlike most black actresses in this country who still struggle to find suitable/long standing TV roles, Angela here has appeared in nearly every British drama that’s aired on TV over the past 10 years. They include Holby City, Cutting It, Waterloo Road, Down To Earth, and Babyfather.

Whenever casting directors want to cast a black woman in a role they ALWAYS call on Angela.  Angela who is mixed-raced (English mother and West Indian father)  is it seems the acceptable female face of black Britain.

The often snooty film/television industry in this country simply adores her!

Best of luck with the talk show Angela.
