Someone dying at 66 thirty years ago was fairly normal with few eyebrows raised. An era when what 40% of the population smoked 40 woodbines a day.

Fast forward to today where you hear "no age" when someone croaks before their eightieth birthday.

Yes that is a fair point Jinxster.

The Woodbines did not finish off the other G Jackson (Glenda) at a "young" age though. Just ravaged her face and complexion rather nastily.

The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

Cheers Olds, She was rather yummy in her day.

Yes she was indeed an attractive lady in a middle class private schoolgirl sort of way to my untrained eye; very 1970's too. I remember her as Anna in Operation Daybreak (1975) but she also played the promiscuous Liz Badger in the late 1980's series A Bit Of A Do.

I had not realised this about her from Wiki:

Pagett was diagnosed with manic depression in 1997, after becoming obsessed with the then Prime Minister's chief Press Secretary, Alastair Campbell. She relates in her book, Diamonds Behind My Eyes, that she later recovered.

Pagett died on 3 March 2021, aged 75, after suffering from a brain tumour.

After mentioning the poor quality drama on ITV last week,I watched the first episode of a good one this evening...In Plain Sight which was first shown in 2016.
Martin Compston(Line of Duty)as psychopathic serial killer Peter Manuel, who killed at least eight people in a two-year reign of terror in the 1950s around Glasgow.

Can’t remember that ‘The Deep Concern ‘ series at 9.25.Probably dismissed as not being interesting enough to watch or more likely no time to watch .

Wildlife on One would have been the programme for me, followed by a re-read of "The Wind in the Willows".
