She also starred in Alan Bennett's TV monologues and played BBC One's amateur sleuth Hetty Wainthropp, while also enjoying an acclaimed stage career.

Loved her she was a great actress. We did a video advertising our hatinators at work with a Hyacinth Bucket overdub. One if the girls sat in her car with a massive one on and the dub was ‘Drive slowly past number 23, I want them to see my hat!’
