    She was a very very funny woman.
    I'll definitely miss her on the radio.

    She was looking a bit off last time I saw her - she'd aged a lot since
    a few years ago. A real shame.

  7. We've lost Dennis Weaver, too, for fans of "Duel" and "McCloud".

  13. Heh.
    I thought I knew her; her voice was familiar enough, but looking at the
    pics of her I realise I'd been picturing another comedienne altogether
    when I heard her voice.

    Just because he went to a posh school doesn't mean he's actually got a
    brain.

  16. How odd. I would definitely have had you down as a regular Radio 4
    listener.[/QUOTE]

    I always used to, in the car, when I was driving around the country on
    biz. Now I'm either desk-bound or abroad, and I don't find myself
    driving all over the UK. So I don't.

    At her best when running-off on one of her little monologues about the
    state of modern Britain... Funniest woman in Britain...

    Be fair, I've only been on UKN for about 5 weeks, and I'm uploading >1Gb a
    day.

    I just went a bit... silly when I first signed up and then had 40Gb to make
    up ;-)
