Joy or heartache?

Is it a joy or a blessing?
I see the Bury Bummer has a story about one of my childhood heroes today - Pauline Quirke.
She's in town tomorrow to launch a new youth drama academy.
I loved her in Birds of a Feather and it got me thinking about these TV types.
Trevor Eve (Shoestring) took years to move out of that shadow until Waking the Dead came along. Jean Alexander will forever be Hilda Ogden (depite her sojourn in Last of the Summer Wine) and the list goes on (suggestions welcome).
Pauline Quirke will forever be stuck in time as a TV show from my youth -

Hope you enjoy your look around our nice town.
