93 ain't bad though!

Probably a relief after having dementia for so long.
Her husband Timothy West died last year.

One of those rare people who are immediately identified by their TV forename alone.

In fact I'm not aware of any other sybil.

Loved her in Fawlty towers.

Which made me think, have i actually seen her in anything else?

Checking out her body of work, I'm not sure I have.....just shows how seminal Faulty Towers was (and there were only 12 episodes!) that she's an icon because of it.

If you can track it down try and watch Mapp & Lucia from the 80's. I love that show. RIP
