How sad - I was watching 'Open All Hours' last night, she was a very funny and talented actor!

FleeceNavidadFromTheSheep · 07/03/2022 16:25

Sad. Sat through many an episode of Come Outside, spotting nearby locations. Family favourite was the marmalade making episode.

PleaseYourselfandEatTheCrusts · 07/03/2022 17:12

Sad RIP. Ds used to love Come Outside.

EasyLifer · 07/03/2022 17:21

RIP lovely lady. DD loved Come Outside we recorded them all on video and watched them over and over and over!

Notasyoungasiwas · 07/03/2022 17:29

This is such sad news. I have many many memories of watching Auntie Mabel and Pippin with my children 😢

LemonJuiceFromConcentrate · 07/03/2022 17:36

Aww, RIP.

I immediately thought of the classic “sewage works” episode of Come Outside. Marvellous.

weebarra · 07/03/2022 17:37

How sad. Many happy hours spent watching Come Outside.

RIP Lynda. Come Outside was as entertaining as it was educational. Wonderful programme

ToMockAKillingBird · 07/03/2022 17:39

Loved Come Outside, 'come on Pippin, time to fly!' Classic children's show that was much loved.

RIP

Fernandina · 07/03/2022 17:55

Oh no. Sad

NotMeekNotObedient · 07/03/2022 18:05

Ohhh I loved Come Outside!

RIP Flowers

AmazingBouncingFerret · 07/03/2022 18:08

Oh how sad. Just had to break the news to my son and his girlfriend. They’re now sitting watching episodes of Come Outside together.

OrangeBlossom28 · 07/03/2022 18:11

My DDs loved Come Outside when they were younger. They share a small car and have called it Pippin because of the programme.

ItsaMeanOldScene · 07/03/2022 18:12

RIP Lynda - the 'sewage works' and the 'pencil factory' - my DC loved Come Outside

Brightermornings · 07/03/2022 18:18

She was wonderful. My dd loved come outside. ❤️

PleaseYourselfandEatTheCrusts · 07/03/2022 18:21

They should re-air some episodes, in her memory. Flowers

AnyFucker · 07/03/2022 18:23

Aww, she was great.

holdyourheadupyousillygirl · 07/03/2022 18:23

Sad at the news but lovely fond memories of Come Outside with my DCs. My eldest used to call it
"Nibble Mibble and Pippin the Dog"
One of us will still belt out the theme tune every so often - and the one from the "sewage" episode that has the line ...
"Some of it is going to get used .....again"
😢😀

WheresThatCatGoneNow · 07/03/2022 18:30

Oh No!
She was a lovely, genuine Northern woman.

I'm speechless. What a shame.

Auntie Mabel and Pippin are my favourite, go-to comfort television.

NETSRIK · 07/03/2022 18:36

I loved the shot of them in the plane from behind them. It was so badly done but so good! What a wonderful programme it was. RIP

Rhannion · 07/03/2022 18:42

MrsIronfoundersson · 07/03/2022 19:01
