Awww, sad news.
*that would get me shot in The Other Place ...
Even though I'm a big Cleese fan*, I always thought hers was the best acting in the whole series. She kinda got the most boring lines, but always totally nailed the perfect tone, while everyone else chewed the scenery around her.

And she nailed the tone exactly - that she was a saint to put up with the petulant BF and keep the hotel running too. In an interview I've just seen, she said she didn't have a versatile face, but used her voice ability to the full.

Sadly she had dementia but she is re-united with her husband Timothy now.

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
I never liked Fawlty Towers so I'd prefer to remember her in Mapp & Lucia and her performance as the Queen in Alan Benett's play about Guy Burgess ( Just looked it up, it was called A Question of Attribution) and also for the canal series with hubby Tim West.
Can't add much to the above. My wife and I watched Fawlty Towers religiously.
In now way retracting as she played a wonderful part but the series had some wonderful characters.......
Mr O'reilly the builder.

We also watched thier canal boat series. That upset me more the longer it went on.

I remember the canal series. In one of the episodes she got confused with something and then quite upset with herself. Her husband then explained it was the early stages of dementia.
