In Black books, she is the female lead, Fran, a friend and neighbouring store-owner to Bernard Black and Manny Bianco. She’s a good friend, charming and bounces off comedically very well to her co-stars Bill Bailey and Dylan Moran.
Black books, Friday Night Dinner and Episodes are shows that I have seen in their entireties (with the latter two being multiple times) and her performances are absolutely amazing.
Witty, strong, fearless and clever are just a few of the words to describe her performance as Beverly Lincoln, one half of the award-winning screen writing duo in ‘Episodes’. She perfectly captures, alongside the likes of Stephan Mangan and Matt leBlanc, the highs, lows and frustrations all the aspects that working in Hollywood has to offer, along with how the move affects her personal life. Greig portrays a funny, very likeable person that you can easily root for.

My favourite show of hers, though, has to be ‘Friday Night Dinner’. She is the matriarch of the Goodman family, where every Shabbat dinner, chaos ensues. She ranges from a proud, doting mother, a loving, caring wife and a hilarious, loyal friend. Every single episode, she gives such a brilliant performance, is never boring and always leaves you hungry for more.
She creates incredibly enjoyable, easy to watch, funny performances, that makes you want to go back to again and again. She makes all the parts she plays feel like real people, that an audience can truly connect with, rather than just characters. I’d highly recommend people watch anything with her in.
