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.

That's sad. She was always funny on have i got news for you and there aren't many good female comedians.

When Greece won the Euros she said as the captain was presesnted with the trophy"we'll soon have that in the British Museum,pretending it belongs to us"-class!

[ron dodgers]

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." "

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

"Tim Henman is the human equivalent of beige"

Shame she has died. The world needs comedy

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.
