How about Rosemary and Thyme, with Felicity Kendal? She also appeared in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Ahhhh...I know who she is now! (I loved her in 'Matilda').

But didn't she die (fairly) recently?

I do hope not. She's due to open in 'The Entertainer' at the Old Vic next week.

I believe that next week (maybe the week after) she's to be the subject of "Coming Home" a television programme on BBC Wales that shows celebrities wih links to Wales revisting the area they came from/family came from and looking at their family history. At least I think they said Pam Ferris in the Glamorgan FHS meeting - can you confirm Gareth?

I can confirm that Pam Ferris was mentioned as using the Glam FHS Resource Centre at Aberkenfig, but I forgot to make a note of the date the programme would go out. I think it's later this month.
  I presume that this would be part of a new series (the one about Petula Clark was a special for St David's Day), but I don't know who else is involved and, at this stage, the BBC Wales website is singularly uninformative.
