	Just googled, the girl is Helen Atkinson Wood who also played Mrs Miggins in Blackadder the third. The rest of the OTT gang were on Tiswas, Lenny Henry, John Gorman (wasnt he in the group the Scaffold?) and Bob Carolgees with Spit the punk dog with Chris Tarrent According to wiki Sally James continued to present tiswas at the same time as OTT ran.
