Parody : Dawn French does Martine McCutcheon


In 1999, Martine McCutcheon was the darling of British soap, thanks to her role as Tiffany Mitchell in Eastenders. So when she decided to leave the show to pursue a musical career it was inevitable that her first single, a cover version of Polish singer Edyta Gorniak's Perfect Moment, went straight to No. 1.



It seems that Martine McCuthcheon had finally arrived when Dawn French parodied her in a Christmas version of French & Saunders.

Sadly, after a few hit singles, a stint in Love, Actually and a role as bridesmaid (to Michael Jackson's best man, no less) in Liza Minnelli's ill-fated wedding to David Gest, success was not to be for Martine so, perhaps, one day we may see her miraculously re-appear at the Old Vic (perhaps she did not die from being hit by the car in Albert Square but was actually in a coma and frozen in cryo until they could get rid of abusive hubby Grant - who knows, stranger things have happened in Albert Square) ... ermmm, that's nice!
