And with reference to the different/better debate above, she's the reason imo. I think it's both very different and better, from the few LL eps I've caught in the past. The conflict Thelma introduced into the sequel was what made it so entertaining, for me. She steals the show in some eps, so good was her characterisation and backstory with Terry, that you wouldn't know she didn't even appear in the original series, I think I'm right in saying. Great character and superbly cast and played.
Saw Rodney Bewes in a one man Diary of a Nobody at the Edinburgh Fringe years ago . Knew he was going to dry and sure enough he did . Good crowd who were all there to see Bob from Likely Lads so good earner for him but not great . Better telly actor with Clement/LaFrenais' great scripts .

Thelma was absolutely gorgeous, with fabulous legs 🥰
Watched the Christmas special tonight, for the third (?) time - it still stands up well, BUT no Audrey.............🤔😘
