Also, a certain amount of bitterness comes from McQueen's widely reported quote when he switched clubs: “99% of footballers want to play for Manchester United. The rest are liars.” Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Yeah I remember her in “To the manor born” and another programme with Boon in it, maybe an unliked in law lodging in her house? Lots of others I’m sure. I think her acting CV said “available for slightly condescending, slightly snooty middle/upper class woman roles” (but usually pretty nice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
