She’s baffled experts as character Philomena Clunk and been to Mars as Mandy Carter, but now our favourite deadpan comedian is taking on her most demanding role yet in new AI comedy Ann Droid. Playing Linda, a secondhand lifesize robot, Diane reveals how the role sent her to robot school, why the training unexpectedly ended up saving Shirley Ballas’ life and why playing a character that never blinks was a terrible idea. Plus, she reveals what’s next with Ricky Gervais - and whether she’s still bitter about losing Last One Laughing.

Her program 'Mandy' is a real treat. I hate AI but watched first program of Android and enjoyed it
The Ann Droid line "Are you trapped in a pullover?" scene was excellent, from then on I was onboard. Very good indeed, the writing was a breath of fresh air... All of it seemed perfectly conversational unlike most scripts. Great work. Charming and VERY British. 🤖👍🇬🇧
