Lily

Lily is part of the Briggs household, moving through the ordinary chaos of family life with the deadpan matter-of-factness the show trades in. She reacts to the household's odder turns without much fuss, treating the strange as simply another Tuesday.

The show's comedy depends on characters who refuse to be rattled by its flights into the absurd, and Sophie Buckley plays Lily with that same unbothered calm. It's a small, steady presence that lets the surrounding farce land harder by contrast.
