Trivia

Best known as Mrs Marjorie Antrobus in the radio series 'The Archers', a role which was supposed to be a one-off but which she eventually played from 1984 until 2004. Knowing very little about the series she drew her inspiration for the part from her childhood years spent on a Somerset estate which her father ran. In fact she said, "Every other woman was a Mrs Antrobus".

On leaving RADA, she went straight to a part as a leading lady in rep at Leeds Theatre Royal. This gave her the opportunity to play in all the productions from the West End.

She stage managed "The Ghost Train" at The Criterion Theatre, where she admitted she once pressed the button to move the train along before its due time and caused chaos at the dress rehearsal!.
