Agreed. I still think of her performance in "The Portrait of Dorian Grey".

My mum knew her through a charity she was involved with and apparently she is gracious, modest and undemanding, to the point where they found her trying to hail a cab on the street and had to persuade her to go back inside and let them call one for her. I didn't get to meet her but she sounds just utterly lovely.

And to think that I thought Midsomer Norton was the murder capital of the world ...

I'm pretty sure that the very first film I saw in the cinema was Bedknobs and Broomsticks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedknobs_and_Broomsticks)

Marginally off topic but I was talking to someone about this the other day and recommend the original novels by Caroline Graham. The Killings at Badgers Drift is one of the best crime novels I've read and is well worth seeking out, as are her others.
