Actress Vivean Gray who played Mrs Mangel in Neighboughs has passed away aged 92. I didn't watch Neighboughs avidly but I very much knew of her.

    Did she ever do prisoner cell block H? Susan from neighbors was in that. I think a few Aussie women of that age who acted were in it. A bit like the Bill or casualty for aspiring Eastenders actors as an equivalent over here

    RIP Mrs M. Great character. Used to watch Neighbours religiously as a teenager, thru Uni and for the first 3 years I worked until I started working in London.

    Remember her in the Sullivans too. Used to be on TV at lunchtimes when my Mum brought me home for lunch at infant school. Must have been very early 80s.

    Yes, she was in Cell Block H too. That was cult viewing for us Uni students. Every Thursday night, straight after Carnal Knowledge which starred a very young Graham Norton.

    Great character in a purple patch for the show. Loved Neighbours back then. Don't watch it now, but evidently Paul Daniels is still in it.

    Didn't Mrs Mangle have the bookish/nerdy niece or something. Who one episode took off her glasses and stuck some waves in her hair and became incredibly fit?

    Only the man who did the voice. If they make new ones there will be someone else. A five year old won't really notice.
