Indeed, a fine character actress.
I quite enjoyed "Last of....." when it was firdt broadcast. It was then a gentle comedy of philosopies, a whimsy, and the various actors were just right for their parts.
True to form, however, the BBC let it run for far to long and it degenerated into a juvenile slapstick routine, and as has been said, latterly it was merely a showcase for some otherwise unheard of actors in the autumn of their careers.
RIP, Nora, and thank you for the laughs and the wrinkled stockings.
