    first remember seeing her on Dad's Army, as Private Walker's girlfriend , and I think she was the female voice on Mike Sarnes record in the early '60's called "Come Outside"

    Was she also the voice on one of Jonathon King's records? Johnny Reggae maybe.

    It says a lot for my "taste" in music that I was listening only the other day to "Come Outside" on my Ipod. A lovely little ditty with a great spin on the "innocent" motives of all us hot blooded males. And Wendy's reaction to the offer is one that is, I'm sure, all too familiar as well.

    Yes that song somehow epitomises a more innocent age I like it too.

    RIP Wendy

    Miss Brahms helped me during my pubescent stage - used to fancy her like mad. Very sad, RIP Wendy.

    Sort! As I said, fancied her like mad as a teenager.

    Wasn't her part cut from the Beatles film, Help.

    I believe it was, but she was terrific in an early Albert Finney film called 'Gumshoe'. She did look good in a mini-skirt!

    One of the first records I remember as a kid was the follow-up or predecessor, "Will I what" by Mike Sarne with WR playing the object of his lusts. I think she was uncredited on the record, it came up later on when she made it in "Are you being served"- She was the only reason to watch that one BTW.

    Wendy made an announcement sometime ago, since then she dealt with the situation with that old fashioned (thesedays) word - dignity.

    Expected news but sad nevertheless.

    The BBC showed a tribute programme to her last night. There always used to be a tribute shown shortly after the death of a major name but I haven't seen a programme of that sort for a long time. It shows how highly she was regarded.

    My kids were amazed that they managed to knock it up so fast until Ii told them it was recorded in advance as they knew she didn't have long. They found it quite strange and a bit creepy that a post-death tribute could be recorded while someone was still alive!!!

    Mr Lucas (Trevor Bannister) has passed away. Is there anyone from the cast of "Are you being served" still alive?
