RIP Carla Lane

Wonderful caring woman. Not keen on Liver Birds or Bread, but loved Butterfies.

RIP

a unique talent

Hard to believe she'd rattled on to 87, I'd have guessed at mid/late 70s.

Remember watching Butterflies as a kid with my parents.  Geoffrey Palmer in Butterflies always reminded me of my dad and he probably thought I was a budding Nicholas Lyndhurst, and he'd probably have been right

never liked her comedy much  but a wonderful woman in areas regarding animal welfare .

nice to see she had a long life too - RIP lovely lady

Iconic sit coms.Especially the subtley brilliant Butterflies.

RIP

Kicked the Granny's Bucket

Where's ma tea?!?!!! (Bread)

probably bread was the catchphrase sitcom

loved Bread, never saw Butterflies a bit too young for Liver Birds

RIP Carla Lane.

For those who say they don't like her comedy just try watching this and not lolling.

Too far fetched to be taken seriously. So failed on the satire/funny intention. It was just silly.

Not one to go analysing comedy but talk about missing the point ffs.  The whole series were far fetched but dozens of celebrities fell for it hook, line and sinker.  That is precisely why it is so funny.  It satirised modern, sensationalist news programmes by being even more over the top and plenty of people couldn't tell the difference.  Dr Fox smashing a crab with a hammer because it had more in common, genetically, with pdophiles then you or I, I mean wtf?
