Broad appeal: Jenny plays Barbara in The Invisibles

Jenny Agutter is far from invisible (VIDEO)

Wednesday 21st May

English actress Jenny Agutter is usually associated with classic, dramatic roles, but as the wife of a thief in The Invisibles she's broadened her repertoire to include a comic caper.

The Railway Children and Spooks star plays the long-suffering Barbara Riley, wife of career crim Maurice (Anthony Head), in the six-part BBC One series. And the chance to again work with Anthony and co-star Warren Clarke (Syd) was an unmissable opportunity.

She told whatsontv.co.uk: "There's a lovely combination between Anthony and Warren. They're very unlikely partners, and [Syd] is very much a part of their relationship. That's another thing she has to accept is that her husband has this other person who's in there, who's part of their lives."
