[TV] Cup O' tea an' a slice O' cake - RIP Aunt Sally

[Giraffe]

RIP Una.

Odd, that's the Grange Hill theme tune!

 

[peterward]

My dad definitely had a crush on her.

She was a beautiful looking woman as well as a talented actress in her heyday of the early 60's. I was a mere nipper at the time I saw her on TV, more my dads age too. amazing eyes.

RIP Una.

 

[shingle]

Loved her in TDUTP and Worzel Gummidge. RIP

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

For those of a certian age Worzel Gummidge was a Saturday night staple, sad news to hear that Una Stubbs, who played Aunt Sally, has passed away at the age of 84.

Awww sad news indeed, l so loved that woman, played so many diverse roles, everything from Alf's much put upon daughter Rita, right the way through to much more serious dramas.

R.I.P. Una.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

RIP. Forever young in my eyes.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

RIP Una.

100% agree about her eyes! RIP Una

Her character Rita in 'Till Death Us do Part' was interesting in that she continually admonished Alf Warren Mitchell for his racist and bigoted attitudes. All part of a her character as his foil. Her on screen husband Mike 'Scouse Git' was played by the late Anthony Booth who was the father of Cherie Blair. Till Death Us do Part still a defining comedy which had an influence in shaping the modern UK's more tolerant multicultural attitudes.

RIP Una

My dad definitely had a crush on her.

Likewise……..can’t blame him either. RIP.

It's 1963, I'm 10 and watching the lovely Una dancing in Cliff Richards's film Summer Holiday at the Ritz Cinema in Shoreham.
RIP Lovely lady.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I'll always remember stumbling out of the Royal Horseguards Hotel on New Years Day morning a few years ago and going for a walk, whereupon Una Stubbs was walking the other way on a deserted street. She actually looked at me and said "Good Morning!" with a big smile. Not your normal 'Sleb' !!

RIP Aunt Sally (as that's what I remember her as, too..)

RIP Lovely lady.

Funnily enough that clip isn't from Summer holiday.
I assumed it was too, but got stuck in a rabbit hole trying to remember the blond actress's name.

Apparently it's from Wonderful life - Pretty much identical cast apart from the blond love interest (Susan Hampshire)

 

[wunt be druv]

Nooooo! I loved her! Had a bit of a thing for her when she was in 'till death us to part, loved her as Aunt Sally! Rest in peace Una, a sad, sad day!! Miss you.

 

[Brownstuff]

Nice lady
Always watched Give us a Clue, a gentle jovial program

 

[marlowe]

A good actress and very fanciable in her younger days.

I actually think she was one of those women who blossomed with age and became more attractive in middle and late middle age.

 

[Jam The Man]

Odd, that's the Grange Hill theme tune!

Yep. Bizarrely they had the same theme tune for a while.

 

[The Clamp]

Yep. Bizarrely they had the same theme tune for a while.

Chicken Man
The theme to Grange Hill is actually called Chicken Man. It's a library piece. That means it can be used for whatever a client wants to use it for providing they pay for it.

From the internet.

 

[Jam The Man]

As a child I was petrified of Worzel, and still can’t watch it up this day.
I loved Summer Holiday though (still do) - it was before my time (I was born in 1975) but was brought up hugely on early 60s music etc.
Una was terrific in Summer Holiday and the movie was a MASSIVE success. Cliff did pretty well during 1963 even though Beatlemania was starting its unstoppable momentum.

A good actress and very fanciable in her younger days.

A very good dancer too.
