Siddiqua Akhtar
Siddiqua is an actress, writer and former stand up comedian, who once wrote pilots for Carlton TV, and other now successful comics. She was also pronunciation expert for several series of the Channel 4 quiz show '15-to-1', before motherhood and daughterhood meant that family care took precedence over comedy, theatre and William G Stewart.
