Ah. Cheers. Was it really "screamingly funny"?

Maybe screamingly is a bit OTT but it certainly was a top drawer sitcom.
Well, it would be with that line up !
Not available unless you ask the right people but well worth it.

Ha, exactly what I thought of. 
I also saw her in an episode of Happy Ever After on Thursday. (The precursor to Terry & June.)

It was pretty bloody good, yes.
If I can ever decide how to list the final 2 episodes, I'll publish our guide to it.
First thing I can recall seeing her in was an ad for Branston Pickle, but yeah she is a good actress, particularly in Waiting For God and The Worst Week Of My Life. She was also in Citizen Smith for a couple of episodes as a girlfriend of Ken.

What was 'Cowboys'?
A Roy Kinnear comedy I believe.
She is very talented but I do feel she is quite lucky to have got in so many classic shows. There must be millions of competent middle-aged actresses whose opportunities in sitcoms have been blocked by her. I remember a few years for some weird reason BBC One had an hour long prime time documentary about her family.

Correct.
A very good one.
Am I the only person who thinks 'Duvitski' sounds like a brand name for the type of biscuits one might find on the shelves of a continental supermarket?
I suspect she would prefer to be remembered for her performances in Blue Remembered Hills and Abigail's Party, rather than in Happy Ever After.
