Apparently Kurtan's nan (with the pixellated face) is a A list actor who flew in specially to do it. They are not saying who it was but have given some clues eg not from England, has a very creative partner, they had never met this person before :unsure:

I saw this but I don’t think they will ever reveal who it was unless someone leaks it. They were both on a podcast I listened to where they said they wouldn’t reveal who it was and no one would ever guess. 😂 so who knows

Major major props to Paul Chahidi who plays the Vicar he is absolutely spot on casting and the three of them together are such a joy to watch.
 
I love this show so much, I’ll be sorry when it ends.
The latest episode when Mandy randomly starts reciting Hairy Maclary in her garden had me laughing for about 10 minutes. ‘I think my fight or flights kicked in’ 🤣🤣🤣
I really hope they reveal who Kurtan’s nan was. A lot of people were guessing Tilda Swinton but I think one of the writers said they hadn’t seen her name mentioned yet. And it was Mackenzie Crook who played Ray in the Millennium video.

I just can't think who it might be - very creative partner??? Like an artist? Not sure you'd describe another actor as 'very creative' particularly?

The guesses on Twitter have ranged from Jane Horrocks to Kristin Wiig (I’m guessing because she’s worked with Paul Feig who is directing the American remake) to Meryl Streep! I really have no idea. They’ve said that they’re not English, have a creative partner and they’ve never met them before. I hope they show her face in the final but I doubt it.
 
Could be Gillian Anderson? Her partner is a scriptwriter for The Crown and she’s not English (I don’t think although her English accent is superb).
 
Yes! Or I also thought the suggestion of Frances McDormand - married to a Cohen brother - was quite good.

Though to add to the confusion I saw that Paul Cooper 'Martin Mucklowe' had 'liked' someone's suggestion that the person was possibly younger and a musician - red herring possibly?

I have JUST found this programme and honestly we love it, we laugh so much at every single episode so far. I really liked Stath let’s flat, and it’s kind of the same humour. Brilliant

Yeah I love a ‘mockumentary ’, it can produce such brilliantly awkward dry humour. Amazing comedy pauses. It’s also really good for pushing the plot along without feeling like clunky exposition- because it makes sense they are explaining this new character or situation.
(did spinal tap create the genre ? )

This country may be the best example of a mockumentary I’ve ever seen though. I love how they’ve started interacting with the ‘film crew’ now.
