LOSING AGRIPP ON LIFE
Veteran actress Barbara Young has died aged 92. Long active on West End and as a TV character actress, she left a lasting impression working with screenwriter hubby Jack Pullman when playing Emperor Nero’s domineering mother Agrippina in I, Claudius. In older age she became prominent as a soaps actress, most notably as chatty ex-actress Sadie Hargreaves Lloyd in Family Affairs and Doreen Fenwick, Rita Sullivan’s perky yesteryear friend in Corrie. Other roles included Nora Batty’s sister Stella at the tail end of Last of the Summer Wine, and, yes, Doctors. She was picked by two teams, including joker points for A Bottle of Lucozade and the warm blanket.
