Re: RIP Honor Blackman

Wow she was 95 years old...Forever remembered as pusy, something she's been unable to shake off since 1965!..Misspelt here because admin have deemed it an obscene word and replaced it with a row of asterisks. Firstly it's not an obscene word and secondly i thought we were all adults on here?

I loved Honor in The Upper Hand - this was a well forgotten gem of 90s Comedy - she always had the voice of reason, just like Helen Daniels in Neighbours (as well as shey could have passed as Too)!!

I never liked Joe McGann though - he always reminded me of Richard Madeley and Phillip Schofield in the part he had in it

**On a sub-note I never knew/realized Kellie Bright as Linda on EastEnders was in The Upper Hand

RIP Honor Blackman
