There was a fabulous Mark Lawson Meets programme with her a few years ago; she had a very kind character.

Liz Smith, The Royle Family actor, has died aged 95
And people were just talking about her as Nana in the Aherne thread.
Very sad.

have you ever explored your dark side?
I met her once. Around 1994, when she was a mere 70 something, she was judging in a non pedigree cat show in Hampstead. We entered our young tabby who was an untested quantity. We were worried he'd get scared and wouldn't show his best side.
Wasn't that good at being handled either, except by us, but was so cute we couldn't resist showing him.
Liz took a shine to him and we saw him go all silly and let her fuss him a lot. Then later he was judged to be second best in show. The winner was a pedigree which I thought was cheating.
So we met her when she gave us the prize and told us how lovely our cat was.
RIP

RIP Liz
She was great, funny as fuck too. Seemed a good sort. RIP
Liz Smith, I will always remember her as Mrs Brandon alongside the brilliant John Comer in I didn't know you cared,
She was also Mrs Bag in the Ripping Yarn, The Testing of Eric Olthwaite.
She appeared in loads of stuff but I guess The Royle Family is what she was best known for.
RIP Liz, tha' wor great thee!

EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
A morbidly humerous extract from "I didn't Know You Cared" with Liz Smith in here prime. An odd series from my childhood, but in reality not much odder than than the members of my mother's family in Yorkshire.
"They give them too much of this new fangled treatment these days. All that talk of euthanasia.That's no good for him. He's too old for euthanasia."
"I love a good funeral. It makes me feel so romantic. All them pickled onions"
Liz Smith never aged, she spent 40 Years of my TV watching life playing wittily batty old women.
