Patricia Brake Rip

Sad to hear this, she will always be Fletcher's daughter to me

[Buenchico]

For those who need a reminder . . .

I never saw her in Porridge. I knew her from a sit-com with Anton Rogers called something like 'May to September' - a couple of disparate ages. She was a P.E. teacher. It was a good sit-com. R.I.P.

She wasn't in May to December?

[barry1010]

You're thinking of Lesley Dunlop or Eve Matheson

[Buenchico]

As Barry says, Jourdain2, the character of PE teacher Zoë Angell was played by Eve Matheson in the first two series of May to September and by Lesley Dunlop thereafter.

Meanwhile Rebecca Lacey played the junior secretary, Hilary, who was a character not unlike Fletcher's daughter Ingrid (in Porridge and Going Straight) in many ways.

I remember her from Elorado (yes, I was one of the saddos that watched it, ha!) and a comedy called Trouble and Strife.

RIP

I remember Trouble and Strife, it starred the actress who now plays Fleur the pathologist in Midsomer Murders. It was a dreadful sitcom

[jourdain2]

Well, thanks very much, everyone. I obviously got the faces mixed up.

the age difference comedy that featured Patricia was "Second Time Around" from 1974 or thereabouts - her older man partner was played by Michael Craig.
