Hayley hangs up her Red Anorak

Maybe she slipped back into Hayley mode for the awards??

there was a documentary a couple of yrs ago-
about Hayley also actress.
She called into a charity shop- as herself- but
sounded just like Hayley- perhaps she does
that when occasion is connected to being Hayley.

She sounded the same as Hayley when she collected awards so she must has used her acting ability to have a different accent in this new tv show

I don't think it's the accent that's different, more the speech patterns. It's hard to describe. Hayley had a very distinctive way of talking that I didn't think Julie's character in Cucumber was doing. I may have got it wrong though - I'm not particularly good at differentiating between accents, particularly Northern ones. I'll try and pay more attention when I watch the next episode of Cucumber.

Julie is my favourite character in it (and lots of other people's too from what I've read) so she's definitely proved she can play more than Hayley. I hope she gets lots of other work from this.
