Sad news; I always thought she was really funny. I wondered what had happened to her as I hadn't seen her do anything for a while; now I know.

quite agree - Jeremy Hardy wrote in her obituary
"As Linda might have said about herself."She didn't exactly rage against the dying of the light, but she gave it quite a look." "

She mainly did radio comedy panel games (NewsQuiz etc) and was on those until quite recently (unless whichever one it was I heard her on a couple of weeks back was recorded ages ago, but they usually only record them a day or so in advance). Gutted when I heard - very funny lady.
