I liked her so much in Mrs Bradley! The cynicism! The clothes!
ReplyDeleteShe followed brilliant Honor Blackman as Emma Peel, and it took a while to see her in that role. And there was In This House of Brede, wonderful performance.
@ Boud -- Oh yes, I liked "In This House of Brede" too! I read the book it was based on too.
DeleteAlso Mrs Pumphrey the owner of Tricky Woo on All Creatures Great and Small
ReplyDeleteI was a big fan of the Avengers, she was so cool. Jayne
@ Anonymous (Jayne) -- Mrs Pumphrey! Loved her in that role too. And of course, I ADORED Emma Peel when I was a girl. What a role model!
