Oh yes, I loved them in that. Also more recently Pauline was so good as Sarah Gamp in Dickensian, just brilliant. Very sad...

Oh well maybe I’ll have a little gin…

Ah, that's very sad news. I'm sure she starred in lots of things (and I'll look out for the other recommendations), but I'll always think of her as Shirley Valentine.

i also noticed this morning, that No Honestly is on youtube. Pauline and John was such an 'it' couple.

No, Honestly is also on one of the more obscure satellite channels. In the small hours alongside For The Love Of Ada, which is never seen before but am curiously fixated with

Chips and egg!!! 🥲

Brilliantly acted scene from a great film.

Showing my age but I remember her as Sarah in Upstairs Downstairs. Her real life husband starred in it with her.
Chips and egg - I was brought up on it. Chip pans have long gone thank
God. I know what I'm having for tea tomorrow 😀
RIP Pauline

They said she was 85 but always thought she was younger

last good thing I saw her in was Dickensian as Mrs Gamp

And as Miss Flite in Bleak House.

Very sad news

PrincessFiorimonde · 07/11/2025 02:24

Loved her in Upstairs, Downstairs, in Shirley Valentine, in Quartet.

"If they were at the Last Supper they'd ask for chips"

I remember her from Upstairs Downstairs days and then Thomas and Sarah

She was brilliant ☺️

I actually didn't realise she was 85

She was fabulous

Sad our Shirley but she was 85, so a good innings loved Shirley Valentine
