Which minor British comedy actress am I thinking of?

[belindaah]

It's bugging me and I need help if you are good at digging things out on the internet. I don't have much to go on, sorry!

She was in a sitcom from the 80s or 90s, played the minor role of someone like the main characters' annoying neighbour or friend/acquaintance I think.

Possibly Brummie, blonde to light brown medium length hair. Very smiley face and upbeat in character.

In my head I'm in Brush Strokes/Ever Decreasing Circles/Sorry!/Fresh Fields territory.

I've checked the casts of loads of others but can't find her but the picture in my mind is so clear.

I'm getting named like Daphne/Joy/Angela/Pippa in my head.

Driving me potty. TIA

Susie Blake? She often used to appear in Victoria Wood sketches.

It shouldn't be this hard!!!

Im trawling lists but no joy so far.

Jo from Man about the house played by Sally Thomsett?

One of the daughters in Keep it in the Family?

George and Mildreds neighbour?

Helen from A Fine Romance?

Judith in As time goes by?

Kiss me Kate was Amanda Holden so I think she'd be easier to recall.

Leslie Manville?

Anything in the Victoria Wood line - Acorn Antiques, Dinner ladies etc?

Emma Chambers? (Alice in the vicar of dibley)
Or
Jane Horrocks? (Bubble in abs fabs)

hahaha That's brilliant. I loved Fresh/French Fields back in the day. The sitcoms around the 90's were by far the best.

2 Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please ?
There were three women in that .

Marcia warren who played Vera in no place like home?

Could it be Hilary from May to December? The actress is called Rebecca Lacey

Emma Chambers sadly no longer with us so probably not her!

Amanda Holden played a character like that in The Grimleys.

It was set in the 70s, and she had a sort of Farah Fawcett hair style.

Surgical Spirit
Never The Twain
Conjugal Rites

All that era.

I thought Sally thomsett

I think she'd know if Amanda was walking down her high street.

Shelia fern who played Ann in George and Mildred?

The one who played Daphne in Frazier?

The OP doesn't say that she saw the actress in her street.

This thread has reminded me of do many great comedies. I loved The Brittas Empire and May to December. Anton Rogers character would probably we considered a pervy old sex pest these days and lose his job 😂

Rebecca Lacey (Hilary) from May to December? Or Liza Goddard?

Geraldine Newman in ever decreasing circles?

Sarah from Press Gang?
Jenna Russell from On the Up?

Gwen Taylor from A Bit Of a Do or Duty free?

Later the OP said "The reason I'm asking is I've seen her around locally and I'm too embarrassed to ask!"

Beth Goddard? From Gimme Gimme Gimme.
