Julia plays sozzled landlord Marsha in this dark Channel 4 sitcom written by Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson (Hynes) and noted for its rapid-fire reference to pop culture and surrealist non-sequitors.

Marsha is never seen without a lit cigarette in one hand, and a glass of red wine in the other. She passionately lusts after Brian, an attraction which stems from a hazy, torrid incident in the past where rent negotiations became somewhat more sensual than usual as a result of Brian's sheer poverty.
