I'm so sorry to hear that Dame Patricia has passed away. She was a brilliant actress and was excellent in every role she played, whether it was comedic or dramatic. She always came across as a lovely and kind person in interviews. I especially enjoyed her performances in Keeping up Appearances, Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, and as the character Kitty, which was wonderfully written by Victoria Wood. May Dame Patricia Rest In Peace.

Thank you for making this thread Tootsie.
