Double BAFTA winner, an absolutely sublime actress, A Cream Cracker Under the Settee is an incredible performance by her if you ever get chance to see it, it was on YouTube.

LOST FOR WORDS was based on a set of books written by Deric Longden . Thora's character was based on what he'd written about his mother. Pete Postlethwaite played Deric in the programme !:)
 
We've discussed the 2 productions she won her BAFTA's for! I've just discovered she won another for a Talking Heads, Waiting For The Telegram. Must look that one up!
