Actress Dame Thora Hird Dies

The ancient Last of the Summer wine actress died this month, in a freak stair-lift accident. “She was just doing a test run for a new TV advert and then bang! It went out of control!” said her agent Felix de Wolfe. “It fired her up into the air like a cabbage out of a tractor exhaust pipe. We’re still scraping bits of her off the ceiling. Still, she would have wanted it that way“.
