My Take
What I admire about Pam Ferris is how thoroughly a German-born, Welsh-trained actress became one of British television's most dependable presences. Most people meet her as the terrifying Miss Trunchbull in Matilda, but her real achievement is durability: Darling Buds of May, Rosemary & Thyme, and a return to Call the Midwife decades into her career. She is the kind of performer who never chases the spotlight yet quietly anchors every scene she enters. To me that craftsmanship, the ability to be both menacing and warm on cue, is far more impressive than star wattage. I rate her highly.
