She seemed to pop up in the most unlikely of programmes.
A very good actress.
Shame.

I loved the Likely Lads. Sometimes I catch the repeats of the radio series.

As an early teenager I found her quite . If I remember rightly she played a role in yon Emmerdale farce as well. I know some might say I'm making it up but only the other day I wondered if she was still alive. I thought of her when thinking about watching all the Whatever Happened series on you tube over Christmas, to get me through the boredom of the event. I watched them all about 2 years ago, so even though I know what comes next they're still a nice trip down memory lane. Yes, I think I'll watch them now. It's either Whatever Happened or all the Jeeves and Wooster, but I did that one last Christmas, so they're still too fresh in the memory to watch all over again.🧐
