91Èȱ¬

As the ambitious, and very attractive, headteacher of St Saviour's primary school, Ellie spends more time with Adam than she would like. Formidable and dynamic, she runs rings around Adam, who secretly fancies her.

If anyone were to tempt him to break one of the 10 commandments it would be Ellie. However, the warmest emotion his clumsy attempts at flirtation tend to elicit from her is pity – she'd much rather talk to his wife than Adam, as the pair share a similar cynicism and dry wit.

Lucy Liemann stars as the object of Martin Clunes's desire in the 91Èȱ¬'s remake of the classic series Reggie Perrin. Other television work includes Moving Wallpaper, Agatha Christie's Poirot and The IT Crowd.

Her film credits include Are You Ready For Love?, Senseless and Mindflesh. She featured in The Bourne Ultimatum and has recently completed the feature comedy Huge, directed by her Moving Wallpaper co-star Ben Miller, due for release later this year.
