June Whitfield

I was going to include this wonderful lady in my thread on British ladies of the screen, but I think she deserves her own thread. So:-

89 year old (!) June Whitfield, who makes a double appearance (!) in this week's Jonathan Creek "The Curse of the Bronze Lamp" has been entertaining us for nearly 70 years, and you would be hard pushed to find a significant person in the field of comedy that she has not worked with, so there's no point in listing who she has appeared with!

Also remember her for the brilliant Birds Eye TV adverts from the 1970s

And one with the late great Terry-Thomas:-

A gem of the British comedy scene, and my goodness I bet she could write a fascinating book of showbiz gossip! Imagine that..........

June Whitfield really is not celebrated or appreciated enough.

I adore Terry & June.

Thank you, but..........

The second book I have, and what I was talking about was not a biography, but a "tell all" about the comedians she as worked with.

But I think she is too much of a lady to do that! (Sadly )

Amen to that.

Anyone who likes Terry and June should be certified.
