Do you mind if I smoke? R.I.P. Fenella Fielding

[a_chap]

90 years old and until very recently still setting hearts fluttering.



She was someone I always wanted to meet.

Oh no! She had a great voice. She was a legend.

This is going to sound weird, but when I imagine my dog speaking she sounds like Fenella Feilding. (This is a huge compliment; my dog is an excellent dog).

Another carry on star gone

RIP

It's a pity that some people will only ever remember her as being a "Carry On" star. She was much more than that.

She was even in The Magic Roundabout for goodness sake!

Very true and quite sad.

We must be getting old Pickers, old chap.

Jim Dale is still knocking about, but he's the only other regular left I think

 

[Sprocket.]

A star till the end.
RIP

E: Also Windsor Davies and Bernard Cribbens, depending how you define regular

 

[Sprocket.]

And Anita Harris still performing, if only casuals are being included.

 

[Indeliblelink]

R.I.P.
She had such a great voice.
I notice on IMDB she was the Village "Loudspeaker Announcer" in The Prisoner.

Do you think Vic Reeves pays royalties to the Eric Morecambe estate?

 

[Sprocket.]

I recall late last year her reading listener’s requests out on Radio 4 PM.
Brilliant.

Leslie Philips is still around. And June Whitfield.

Fenella Fielding had the most magnificently sexy presence. Not just the voice, the look, the knowing smile. RIP

 

[Maggot]

RIP

I still remember the first time I saw Carry on Screaming. I was about 10 and loved it.

She once starred with Kenneth Williams in a comedy revue written by Harold Pinter and Peter Cook.

 

[Sea Star]

for twenty years she had two lovers. Both men. And neither knew about the other.

RIP

RIP Fenella.
As has been said, she had such a great way of speaking

 

[QueenOfGoths]

RIP. I loved "Carry on Screaming" and wanted to be her when I was a kid. Still do tbh.

don't forget Barbara Windsor!

I saw Leslie Philips in about 2005, in a railway station. We went around using his "Well hello" catch phrase for the rest of the day.

oh, and my exes gt grand mother used to work for Hattie Jaques and John Le Mesurier.

 

[Spymaster]

I had a massive childhood crush on her CoS character.

RIP

 

[Kaka Tim]

had the soundtrack to the magic roundabout film on LP as a kid - this will always be my memory of her

 

[blossie33]

Just been reading the BBC obituary - can't post link from my phone - interesting, she had quite a difficult relationship with her parents who didn't approve of anything she wanted to do, she studied Art at St Martin's for a while until they forced her to leave

It's funny, I was looking at that LP on Ebay only about a week ago and nearly bought it. Wish I had now.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I loved that film. Even though I had youngling feelings for Fielding, I was so mad at Corbet for falling for her obvious female manipulations.

It's sad to reflect that both Corbett's and Fielding's careers were torpedoed by taking comedy roles.
