Umbridge - Keeping Up Appearances

I think I have a potential actress for the Umbridge role.

Are you familiar with the BBC TV show 'Keeping Up Appearances'. It's
about a woman (Hyacinth) named Buquet (bucket) who insists her name is
pronounced 'Boo-Kay' (bouquet), and spends all her time trying to
impress people but instead, actually annoying the hell out of them?

Ok, she might be good, but there is another couple in the show that
are related to the Buquets, it's a fat crude guy who drinks beer all
the time and his fat wife. Well, I think that fat wife actress, who
ever she is, would make a great Umbridge. She plays a pretty
lighthearted character in that show, but I sense she is a veteran
actress with the skill to play a darker role. (Either the fat husband
is Hyacinth's husband's brother, or the fat wife is Hyacinth's sister.)

Apologies for the sketchy details, I was hoping someone could tell me
who she was, and if you think she has potential?

Just a thought, and I admit a vague and ill-formed one at that.
