Barbara Knox, AKA Rita Sullivan, 'manhandled' by police after being stopped for driving while under the influence. You'd think stars should be afforded more deference.

I think that you will find that sandyRoe was speaking with his tongue very firmly in his cheek

sandy...I guess she is only lucky that she wasn't hauled off and charged with sexual abuse offences committed in the 1950's !

What have you heard, Mickey4444?

[netibiza]

a) manhandled? maybe they were stopping her from falling over.
b) can she remember it?

Apart from the dismal programme that she appears in has she done any other 'acting'?

Last time I saw her programme was when Deirdre's baby was in its pram and a lorry crashed into the pub.

She must be getting on a bit, 80?
