Lesley Nicol is the actress who plays Mrs. Patmore in Downton Abbey. She played Auntie Annie in East is East and its sequel West is West and played Mrs Pants in Blackadder II.

As a downstairs actor, she did most of her Downton Abbey filming at Ealing Studios. Only rarely going to the Highclere set. She says it helps her performance, as it is a bit awe-inspiring to be there.^[1]
