Thespian Heaven

With the untimely death of esteemed actress, Wendy Richard, I was wondering if she and other dead sitcom actors will find work in Thespian Heaven (assuming they go there!). If so, what do you think they'll be starring in?

I'll start:

Wendy Richard and James Beck run a Funeral Parlour. Amongst other hilarious moments, there's a running gag of John Inman pushing the lid off his coffin screaming "I'm free!"

Title - 'Are You Being Cremated?'

Wendy Richard can now be the guest of Eamonn Andrews on "This Was Your Life"

Waiting for God... Oh, here he is now.

Del Boy's Grandad and Uncle in 'Only Fools And Hearses'

The Good (After)Life

Arthrur Lowe and John Le Mesurier in Dead's Army

And Andy Kaufmann in Taxidermy

Dermot Morgan in - "Father Dead"

Diane Holland in Hi Death Hi

Barry Evans - "Doctor In The Hearse"
