If I could be one fictional character from the 1970s, it would have to be Jerry from the Good Life. Steady job, nice house, Tom and Barbara as neighbours to keep me grounded... and snuggle up every night with Margo. Hee hee.

One of the best stories I ever heard about Penelope Keith was that although her characters were terribly 'just so', Penny herself was know for her very, (ahem), colourful language off stage!

Just generally, I think. I had a friend who was a stage manager and worked with her at a theatre in Surrey.
