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

Well since I've now worked out via this thread that the woman I thought was Marcia Warren isn't actually her, I'm so glad I didn't stop her and ask her.

I have series 1 of Life Without George in my Dropbox. Would you like me to pm you the link to have a watch? It was one of my favourites back in the day, too!

Oh my goodness! Yes please! I can’t believe it, thank you.DSis will be just as giddy. I loved it so much. And the theme tune was lush 😍
