caroline spencer forrester
between november 2012 and december 2016 lancashire appeared opposite anne reid and derek jacobi in the bbc drama series "last tango in halifax". in the series she plays caroline, an oxford-educated headmistress who feels that her mother's second marriage gives her "permission" to be herself. caroline's same-sex relationship with a fellow teacher resulted in lancashire receiving more fan mail than for any other role, largely from women telling her that the series had helped them to come out. due to the under-representation of gay characters in television, lancashire felt it particularly important that caroline's experience would not be depicted inaccurately. in her portrayal she opted to focus on the "humanity" of the character, rather than her sexuality. filming of the second series clashed with filming of the second series of "the paradise", which necessitated lancashire leaving "the paradise" partway through its second series. for her role as caroline she was nominated for the british academy television award for best supporting actress in both 2013 and 2014, winning in 2014. at the 2015 hay festival lancashire stated that of all the roles she has taken on in her career caroline is the one she is most proud of, citing the "extraordinary impact" of the character. after airing three full series, "last tango in halifax" returned for a fourth series in december 2016, consisting of two episodes which were promoted as "christmas specials".
