    At a time when almost anyone is called a National Treasure, Dame Thora was the genuine article. A lovely lady and brilliant actress.

    I never saw her be bad in anything and she had such a distinctive voice that just made you feel like you were at home with a friend when she spoke, such a wonderful actress. I also loved Christopher Beeny and it was wonderful to see him here again . R.I.P two wonderful acting legends.

    I remember watching Thora with Freddie Frinton in Meet The Wife in 1963, as I couldn’t get over her strong accent, she had stuck in my mind ever since, sadly both Freddie and Thora were no longer with us.

    Obviously a great actress. (See the comments below mine.) The only question, I would have loved to see/hear an answer to, is: Was she actually such a bad driver as she portrayed to be in Last of the Summer Wine. I'd think that bit of acting would be extremely difficult, but a lot of fun. (Remember the episode of her Driving Lesson. Gordon Wharmby and Mike Grady did a nice job there. As did Peter Sallis. "I'll walk home" :D) She still brings many smiles, to those who keep watching repeats of any of the many shows/films she acted in.
