Paradox star Tamzin Outhwaite wins her place in the sci-fi denial hall of fame with an absolute cracker of an example

You can almost hear actress Tamzin Outhwaite hissing “I'm not THAT sad” between her teeth as she joins an esteemed list of actors in abject self-denial about appearing in sci-fi. Here she is on Teletext, talking about her role in Paradox: "Initially I thought it was a sci-fi project. Then I read the script and realised it wasn't. It's about police officers trying to work out whether there is a worm hole between two time zones."

Blimey, it not sci-fi, but she can spout the technobabble like a Star Trek: Voyager veteran. Sorry, love, but by using the phrase, “a worm hole between two time zones” you've just defeated your whole argument.
