| Nicola appeared in the series 'Big Bad World' in July 1999. |  |
| In this 'thirtysomething' comedy/drama, Nicola played Jennifer, a midwife who fell victim to a video shop's secret dating service! |  |
 |
 |
The shop used its files on
the viewing habits of its customers to identify potential partners. Notwithstanding this flagrant breach of the Data Protection Act, Eamon Donaghy (played by Ardal O'Hanlon) found that the shop's computer identified Jennifer as his ideal partner. |
|
| At first, it appeared that the shady
dating service had worked, as Jennifer and Eamon's relationship blossomed… …but Eamon was in for a shock when he found that Jennifer was a practising Catholic. |
 |
This brought back bad memories of his childhood. |
 |
For a while, the relationship turned
sour, but was revived when Eamon confided his problems with religion to Jennifer. Eamon may have resolved his problems by confronting the past, but the relationship was short lived, as the saintly Jennifer sailed away to do volunteer work in Tanzania. |
