Trivia
Her final TV role was as Mrs Hall, the cook and housekeeper in "All Creatures Great And Small" from 1978-1980. When a Christmas special of "All Creatures Great And Small" was made in 1983 (three years after her death), it included a poignant shot of a photograph of Mrs Hall, as James, Siegfried, Tristan and Helen remembered "absent friends".
