New Sequels, Prequels, and Spin-Offs

English character actress with wonderful comic timing. Her non-plussed expressions were used to great effect in several sketches of The Two Ronnies (1971). Known especially for her recurring roles of Mabel Wheeler in You Rang, M'Lord? (1988) and as Vera Plumtree in Oh Doctor Beeching! (1995) ("My husband was an engine driver you know"). She was equally delightful as boring Eric Olthwaite's (Michael Palin's) mother in Ripping Yarns (1976), whose chief claim to fame was her black pudding ("even the white bits were black").

Appeared in television adverts for Vicks Sinex with the catchphrase &quot;course you can Malcolm&quot; for over 20 years, first as a mother and later as a grandmother.

Daughter of George Thomas P New (1899-1984) and Mabel Lona Cant (1889-1967) who were married in 1921.

Daughter-in-law of George Frederick Barrington (born 1885) and Nellie Barrington (born Nellie Perkins) who married in 1914.

Sister-in-law of Joan B Barrington (born 1915).
