Shamefully jackin' Ashton's decades long People You Fancy but Shouldn't. Let’s discuss peak fitness eras of various stars involved in film and television. Kicking this series off with...
Julia Sawalha
As a young 'un, Julia Sawalha came into this boy's life when she was cast as Lynda Day, the cute girl next door editor of the Junior Gazette on the classic kids show Press Gang (1989 - 1993). However, it wasn't until she got glammed up as the barmaid Veronica Head in her one-off appearance on the BBC sitcom Bottom (1991 - 1995) that she officially was considered as smokin' hot.
Sadly, Sawalha is better known for playing the frumpy daughter Saffron in another BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous (1992 - 2012). Won't pretend I was ever a fan of it, as it wasn't really my cup of tea, and looking like a bookish geek did her no real favours. Thus, Sawalha's peak fitness era will always be that one time she played Veronica Head.

Definitely her apex of fitness.
Fave character she played was Janet the Aussie barmaid in Al Murray's forgotten Sky sitcom Time Gentlemen Please.

Never seen it.
She definitely put on a few pounds.
Underrated show IMHO.
I was gonna go see Furiosa last night but life intervened. Now I'm struggling to get myself back in the zone to wanna go see a 2 & a half hour movie at the cinema.
Same for me. Was hoping to watch it over the bank holiday weekend, but it never worked out. Must admit I am put off by Furiosa’s running time.
