How sad. She was one of those jobbing actresses who you would see all over the place.

And talking of voiceovers, Miriam Margoyles was the voice of the sexy girl in the cigar adds many years ago.

And so soon after Rik Mayall, who as Flashheart was 'pleased to see Nursie'.... both good actors who will be missed.
