      Sadly she was an alcoholic and a heavy drinker, the inquest into her passing showing that she drank half a bottle of brandy a day for 10 years and much more closer to her untimely death as a result of the health problems that resulted from her drinking. It is implied in her biography that she turned to drink to steady her nerves, particularly after her divorce and subsequent failed relationships, loneliness, typecasting, lack of other work, and lack of privacy due to the popularity of Mildred Roper, and had become depressed. She was really a beautiful lady who deserved better. Her alcoholism and death was truly a great tragedy.
      As the actor/comedian Kenneth Williams said of her, "she was a lady who made so many people happy and a lady who never complained".

    Grew up watching The Dick Emery Show. It ran from 1963 for 18 years. They used to alternate these Saturday night prime time shows. The production values were so high and the amount of work involved was so much, that they usually only produced 6 episodes per series. Plus a much anticipated Christmas Special. Then they ran "Best Of" compilation shows as well. Stanley Baxter had a similar long run of comedy sketch shows from 1963 as well. He specialised in recreating Hollywood Movies, while playing the female lead parts.

    Without trying to complicate things too much...the woman in green is Yootha Joyce. She played Mrs Roper is "Man About the House" and "George and Mildred". The original versions of what would be "Three's Company" and "The Ropers" in America. "Man About the House" would be another good series to check out.

      It wasn't so much that she liked the drink, she turned to drink to steady her nerves, particularly after her divorce and subsequent failed relationships, loneliness, typecasting, lack of other work, and lack of privacy due to the popularity of Mildred Roper, and had become depressed. For someone who was raised in an era where you don't talk about your problems, the compounding of everything that she was enduring with the fact that she kept it all to herself was a recipe for disaster. Her alcoholism and death were such a great tragedy.

    Tommy Steele was a hugely popular British singer/actor in the 1960's. "Flash bang Wallop (What a picture, what a photograph!)" was a song from his best-known movie "Half a Sixpence." "Stick it in your family al-bum" was the strap line from the same song. My favourite song as a child was his "Little White Bull." Dick Emery was an equally popular TV comedian through most of the 60s and 70s. Probably best known for the tag line "Oh, you are awful, but I like you!" (usually delivered in drag as a slutty woman or gay man, preceded by some kind of double-entendre and followed by a hefty shove on the shoulder).

    Old Shows like Dick Emery are not shown on British TV today which is a shame as it's way better than the dross that passes for comedy today... Anything that is seen as politically incorrect just doesn't get a look in in case someone is offended or someone is offended on behalf of someone else.... Hands up anyone the last time they seen Benny Hill or Steptoe and Son on British TV?....
