She has also appeared in The 10th Kingdom as Mrs Murray, the wife of Tony Lewis' tyrannical boss and owner of their apartment building, T-Bag and the Pearls of Wisdom, Midsomer Murders, Casualty and The Crow Road.
In the realm of radio, she is credited with portraying Joan Danbury, the mother of Inspector Gwen Danbury, in the police drama series created by Sue Rodwell.
