On television she appeared in Emergency-Ward 10, Walk a Crooked Mile and No Hiding Place (with Johnny Briggs) as well as The Host with the Most, a second season episode of the Coronation Street spin-off Pardon the Expression as Miss Pledge, a nervous tenant of a flat in the same block as Leonard Swindley. That same year (1966) she had a career-changing role when she was cast as Else Garnett in the first season of the seminal comedy Till Death Us Do Part, a role that was played in a pilot episode by her good friend Gretchen Franklin. The programme and its regular cast soon became household names to the point where, even today, her many other roles and talents have become somewhat eclipsed. Although she left the series in 1974, citing working differences with her co-star Warren Mitchell as one of the reasons, she did return to the role in later sequels, including the first series of In Sickness and in Health even though illnesses including malnutrition and rheumatoid arthritis meant she had to use a wheelchair. She was still making the series at the time of her death.
