I am so sorry to hear it. She was such a funny lady. Many cast members from that show are deceased now. Though “Capt. Peacock” still lives, at age 88.
So many of these Britcoms were funny and intelligently written, even if a lot of the lines were quite risque. I prefer them to most of the American sitcoms of today. Though it’s hard to tell as I watch so few of them.
I agree with you entirely. Recently I stumbled across some British sitcom scenes on Youtube that date to may youth - I mean I was VERY young!
Shows like the Doctor series. Here is a classic scene from the first doctor series called Doctor in the House (1972): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Xo9HkzmUQ
The guy who played Loftus was a comic genius! Sadly, the fouth doctor is dead (1999). Another actor who played a doctor in one of the series also died - Barry Evans. He stopped getting work, was forced to take up driving a mini-cab to make a living and then died under very suspicious circumstances. Charges were dropped against the man originally accused of stealing his cab. This brought back memories of things I had long forgotten!
And then there’s the Likely Lads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12sF0cZD_3A
There are so many other great old British comedies.
