Welcome to the 1st
Felicity Jones Appreciation Thread


"On screen, Felicity has a luminance that is hugely appealing, but also
a retro quality that puts you in mind of the Julie Christies and Rita
Tushinghams of yesteryear." - Stephen Merchant

Felicity Jones was born on the 19th January 1984, and is an English actress from
Birmingham. She is best known to television audiences for her role as the school
bully Ethel Hallow in the first series of The Worst Witch (she was replaced by
Katie Allen for series two and three) and its sequel Weirdsister College. Jones also
co-starred in Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant’s feature Cemetery Junction.

Felicity spent her early years at Kings Norton Girls’ School, and then attended King
Edward VI Handsworth School, to complete A Levels and went on to take a gap year
(during which she appeared in the BBC series Servants). She then studied English
at Wadham College, Oxford, graduating with a 2:1 in 2006. Whilst studying English,
she appeared in student plays, including Attis in which she played the title role, and,
in 2005, Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors for the OUDS summer tour to Japan,
starring alongside Harry Lloyd.

Jones was encouraged to take up acting by her father, and later, by her uncle,
the actor Michael Hadley. After the first series of The Worst Witch, she was
replaced by Katie Allen. When Weirdsister College began in 2001, Jones returned
as Hallow. During the shooting of WeirdsisterCollege she was just seventeen,
lived in a flat in Richmond and had a private tutor to get her through her ‘A’ levels.
Her longest and probably best known role overall was on the BBC Radio 4 soap
opera The Archers, where she played Emma Carter (who is now played
by Emerald O’Hanrahan). X
