1 | People often come up to me and say: 'I know you from the bridge club' or 'Don't you go to my church?'. They can't place me - but I look familiar. |
2 | I don't see myself as a comedian at all, I'm happier when I'm playing tragedy. Going Home was a sad play. I've been most successful when there have been tears in the audience. |
3 | We were young and poor, and needed to earn some money. I decided with the wonderful ignorance of youth to earn a living by acting - and luckily, I did. |
4 | [on her One Foot in the Grave (1990) character] It began in a very minor way, but I remember how beautifully the episode was written, right from the beginning. She always wanted to help and meant well all the time; it's just that she was tactless and not very bright, although occasionally she'd have these strange streaks of knowledge, like the time she knew all the answers while playing Trivial Pursuit. |

1 | Became an Associate Member of RADA. |
2 | In January 2002 Doreen appeared on a 'Classic British Sitcom Stars' special of TV quiz The Weakest Link (2000). When asked by host Anne Robinson what her most memorable moment was on the crazy sitcom One Foot in the Grave (1990) Doreen replied very matter-of-factly: 'I was rolled down a hill and mounted by a dog'. The studio audience erupted in hysterics. |
