We're so excited about the fact Keeley Hawes has joined Orphan Black: Echoes that we've decided to take a look back at some of her other roles. She's done so much great work over the years that these 10 performances are limited to her TV roles; we'll save her big screen appearances for another day. 
1. Spooks (2002-2004)
Hawes starred in the first three seasons of the BBC's long-running drama series about MI5 spies. Her character Zoe Reynolds has killer instincts and a flair for linguistics but is ultimately undone by a crisis of confidence. Among her co-stars are Matthew Macfadyen, whom she married in 2004. Happily, the couple are still together and have two children. 

2. Tipping the Velvet (2002)
Adapted from Sarah Waters' bestselling debut novel, this BBC miniseries has become a cult classic. Set in Victorian England, it centers on the then-scandalous romantic relationship between Nan (Rachael Stirling), a young working-class woman from a seaside town, and Kitty (Hawes), a more worldly male impersonator. It's a warm and witty coming-of-age story that you can stream on BritBox.

3. Ashes to Ashes (2008-2010)
Hawes joined Philip Glenister in BBC America's sequel series to Life on Mars. She plays DI Alex Drake, a police officer who inexplicably wakes up in 1981 after being shot while performing her duties in 2008. Her character is driven, witty, and intelligent, and Hawes adds poignancy to the fact that we're never quite sure whether she's alive or not in the present day.

4. Upstairs, Downstairs (2010-2012)
Though this continuation of an iconic 1970s costume drama drew decent ratings, it was slightly overshadowed by Downton Abbey, which launched in the same year with a broadly similar premise. There's still plenty about Upstairs, Downstairs to enjoy, not least Hawes' performance as Lady Agnes, a politician's wife who runs the grand London house at the center of the series.

5. Doctor Who (2014)
The idea of Hawes playing a Doctor Who villain is a mouthwatering prospect, and she nails it in the 2014 episode "Time Heist." Her character Ms. Delphox is a ruthless bank security boss who clones herself so she can control her staff at all times. Delphox appears arrogant and unflappable, but she's secretly terrified by a master she fears will kill her if she ever makes a mistake.

6. Line of Duty (2014-2016)
Hawes appeared in seasons two and three of the BBC's super-popular drama series about (allegedly) corrupt police offers. She plays Lindsay Denton, a senior officer who is accused of conspiracy to commit murder after one of her assignments goes tragically awry. Is Denton a "bent copper" or not? Hawes skillfully keeps us guessing right until the end.

7. The Durrells (2016-2019)
Hawes led this charming comedy-drama series based on Gerald Durrell's memoirs of his time living in Corfu. She's on glorious form as Louisa Durrell, the eccentric matriarch who moves her family to a Greek island when their financial prospects look bleak in England. There are three seasons to check out, all of which make for perfect cozy Sunday viewing.

8. Mrs. Wilson (2018)
Ruth Wilson stars and executive produces this BBC/Masterpiece PBS miniseries based on her own family's somewhat shocking secrets. She plays Alison Wilson, her real-life grandmother, who discovers after husband Alec's death that he had two other wives she knew nothing about. Hawes earned a BAFTA nomination for her powerful performance as Dorothy, Alec's first wife, who tells a few lies of her own to cover for his duplicity.

9. Bodyguard (2018)
Written by Line of Duty's Jed Mercurio, this gripping BBC miniseries became a sensation in the U.K. and beyond. Richard Madden plays David Budd, a British army veteran assigned to protect Hawes' Julia Montague, an ambitious but controversial Cabinet minister. Madden and Hawes have terrific chemistry and this brilliant six-parter contains some truly jaw-dropping moments.

10. It's a Sin (2021)
Written by returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies, this heart-rending miniseries set during the HIV/AIDS epic became Channel 4's biggest ever drama launch. It subsequently aired in the U.S. on HBO Max. Hawes gives a blistering performance as Valerie Tozer, a tightly wound mother grappling with the fact her son Ritchie (Olly Alexander) is both gay and HIV positive.
