Harriet Schulenberg (Olivia Colman)
The hopelessly absent-minded working mum is the most-stressed member of staff at East Hampton Trust. Permanently dazed from motherhood, always running late and usually wearing fuzzy felt-encrusted cardies, she spends more time trying to keep track of her three children on a whiteboard than doing any actual work. Unfortunately the school-run panics and hormonal outbursts are only going to get worse as she’s discovered she’s pregnant again. “I know I took three morning after pills to flush him out” “Oh shit, I can't believe I've lost Robbie” “I haven't had sex since Oscar was born, and then last night, Ian touched my boob during Frost, and then his mother phoned in the middle of it and interrupted” back
