A kids TV icon RIP

 

[Is it PotG?]

Ooh no. Also remember her as Frost's bit.

Lived in Hurst didn't she?

RIP.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Oh blimey RIP

 

[upthealbion1970]

Blimey, she used to be a customer at national tyres in hassocks

RIP Mrs McClusky

 

[Stato]

Also great as Greg Davies' mum in Man Down. It was strange for people of my generation to see Mrs McLuskey married to Rik (He spells it with a silent 'P').

 

[Mackenzie]

That’s sad.

Doesn't Mr Hopwood live in Brighton (or, at least, used to)? Makes you think that Sussex is a home for Grange Hill alumni and I'm going to bump into Bullet Baxter when I go into town

Colbourne Road in the 80s I believe, and a regular customer at Waitrose.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

She was a great Headmistress. RIP.

 

[Eeyore]

I worked with her husband, Alan, for some time. They lived in Hassocks if I recall correctly.

Everyone remembers her, and probably knew a similar teacher.

We saw her as a teacher and not an actor. Such was her capability.

RIP

 

[dazzer6666]

Often saw her on the train when I was commuting to/from London in the 90s. RIP.

 

[bobbab5]

I used to sell her newspapers back in the late 90's when I was working at WH Smith at Haywards Heath railway station.

RIP Mrs McClusky

Great bit of trivia, can't wait for that to come up in the pub quiz

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

RIP. Part of my childhood and always strange seeing her in Waitrose Burgess Hill over the last few years.

Yes or at least she used to….I did some pruning work on a tree in her and her husbands back garden many years ago …lovely lady and her husband, what a great loss he must be feeling.

..had a really grand downstairs loo…decorated with posters from London theatre land.

RIP the lovely lady
