The committee is unanimous in its adoration of Diane Morgan. For the uninitiated, watch her immaculate performances as Liz in Motherland and Amandaland on the BBC iplayer, Philomena Cunk in Cunk on Britain, Cunk on Earth, Cunk on Life (BBC/Netflix) and as herself in Last One Laughing UK (Amazon Prime).
