Daniel Bryan's mum! But not that one...
It seems harsh to say she was best known for Summer Wine & Ab Fab (as that article does), because she did loads of stuff for decades before being in either show.
Anyway, great age & all that, RIP

Distinctive voice and a distinctive style, and bloody hilarious at times. R.I.P. Dora.

Actually met her once at my Degree Ceremony she was getting an honoury degree from my Uni although we were gutted because Norman wisdom got one the day before and lee westwood was getting one in the next one. but still remember her commencement address to this day and had us in stitches and had sevrel hundred students in the palm of her hand
there are a few british comedy actors and actresses that were very underated and she was one of them

Didn't know she was married to Bill Lawton the Lancashire cricketer, really good comedy actress on stage or screen. RIP.
