@@Cave_Monster that would be great ,she was a very funny woman with a social concience, she began way back by doing benefits during the miners strike, and died much too young.
its upsetting finding out a woman you found incredibly talented died years ago...... i never knew i watched her on you tube for 14y thinking she was ok
Yeah paul it was tragic she died so young, she was a mainstay on Radio 4s news quiz for many years her wit was lightning fast and terrifically funny. She starred in the show with Jeremy Hardy another great comedien sadly taken fairly young at 57 his wit was bitingly savage at times but understated you didn't always realise how deeply he had bit on something until seconds after, or l didn't anyway l might be thicker than l thought. Lol
Such a lovely person. Much missed
She WROTE and starred in a lovely sitcom on BBC radio 4 A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME WASTING , very witty ,very Linda , any chance ??.
