Tamsin Greig has reflected on her role in the Channel 4 sitcom Friday Night Dinner, saying she “probably shouldn’t” have played a Jewish matriarch.
Friday Night Dinner ended after six seasons in 2020 following the death of one of its stars, Paul Ritter, of a brain tumour.
Greig, who is a practising Christian with Jewish ancestry, played the part of Jackie Goodman in the comedy, which follows a Jewish family living in north London.
Rosenthal told the i in 2016: “I have a Jewish name and a Jewish face but I’m not a Jewish person.”
