Sad about this. She was 82, which is not a great age these days. What a talent. www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54106509

I loved the Morecambe and Wise sketches she did.

Loved her in Mrs. Bradleys mysteries as well. Very sad news. RIP

That's a shame - and being the same age as my parents, sends a bit of an icy dagger down my spine.

On the plus side, they'll probably show lots of her TV and films again now.

Oh no, what a shame. She was awesome!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 10/09/2020 16:03

I didn't know she was in The Detectorists. Must give that another go.

I loved her in The Detectorists! Sad news, no matter what her age.

She outshone everyone else in all GOT's scenes, she was a marvelous actress.

This is very sad. I loved her as Miss Hardbroom in The Worst Witch film. She rocked that sort of role.

RIP. One of the best characters in GoT.

She played Andy's mother-in-law in Detectorists, and Andy's wife was her real daughter, Rachel Stirling.

Her ‘deeply sceptical mother-in-law’ face was a work of art Grin

Oh Sad very sad to hear this news. She was an incredibly good actor. And a courageous woman.

Tonightstheteriyakichicken · 10/09/2020 17:38

Star quality.

FizzyGreenWater · 10/09/2020 18:05

Oh no!!!!

Loved her.

Mother Love was incredible!

We've been watching the avengers it's on telly in the daytime.

She's awesome.

PushyMeez · 10/09/2020 18:14

I'm also sad about this. My dad got me into the Avengers as a child and she'll always be the 'most delectable' Mrs Peel to me! Loved her in GOT and OHMSS too. A sad day ❤️

SugarButterFlour · 10/09/2020 18:20

She was fantastic as Miss Hardbroom.

SulkingRoomPunk · 10/09/2020 18:23

Yes 82 is a bloody good innings but we can still mourn the death of an iconic woman. RIP Dame Diana.

RuffleCrow · 10/09/2020 18:29

She was easily the best thing in Game of thrones. And she was the favourite Bond Girl of many an ex boyfriend of mine. Also had a great little role in Detectorists, playing her rl daughter's mum and Mackenzie Crook's cliche-defying mother in law.

Redshoeblueshoe · 10/09/2020 18:35

Good night Mrs Peel

kittensarecute · 10/09/2020 18:36

My stepdad saw her on stage when he was about 12 (so during her Avengers days). He said she was magnificent and very beautiful.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 10/09/2020 18:42

I used to watch repeats of The Avengers is the 80s as a kid, I loved Mrs Peel.

Agree about Game of Thrones, she was an absolute scene stealer. Great actress.

I do think 82 is a good innings though I was still sad to hear of her death.
