    Mavis?



    Not according to IMDB, maybe she is working under her married name?

    That was Maggie Ollerenshaw, I'm talking about 'Stephanie' in the episode the OP is talking about, played by Julie Shipley who also appeared with Ray Winstone in That Summer in 1979.

    ............

    Did anyone else quite fancy the milkwoman, or was that just me?

    Wasn't it the georgeous Barbara Flynn? It wasn't just you :)

    Id of liked to have seen that work. My idea would of been Granville just inherited everything after Arkright dying and coping with life, deciding whether to run the shop or party with girls.

    Just bumping a few years
    Granville is now the owner of the shop
    And I watched the first few minutes of both episodes and was saddened that David Jason was hopeless in the roll
    Granville he was excellent
    Darling buds of May excellent
    Bit of a do excellent
    Frost , magnificent
    Del Boy ,probably the best ever sitcom
    The Royal Bodyguard, the silliest programme ever
    Is he doing it just for the money?

    Maybe it would have been more interesting if Gladys had married Arkwright and inherited the shop and let Granville run it and turned into a tight fisted business woman who wanted it to make money and she kept butting into how Granville and Leeroy ran it.

    Would be funny to know it arkwright snuffed it when he finally got into Nurse Gladys' mystical boudoir and his heart couldn't cope with it.

    In Graham McCann's excellent book on the show, he reveals that the little boy in the pilot episode, who was uncredited, was actually Ronnie's son, Adam.

    Everyone forgets Granville got his end away in the first episode when he got dragged into the house of the woman who answered the door naked at 87 Lindley Road.

    He didn't. If you watch it again, he comes back crestfallen, intimating he'd been too scared to, er, cope with the opportunity.

    Pity he turned out to be a pervert. I think that revelation destroyed poor Ronnie at the end of his life.

    yes he he says "When it came for me to G-Giggle it a bit I found. I hadn't had enough experience".

    Barbara Flynn. Sigh. Granville's only true love, the Milkwoman. Don't know whether she's been name checked in SOAH?

    I think I saw her in The Beiderbecke Affair before OAH. Wonderful series, and she is *gorgeous*. Great actress too, so as not to appear quite so shallow! But I am.

    You're right she is a fine actress, good looking , very fanciable
    You can also watch her in "A Very Peculiar Practice" on Youtube:D

    Great series. Remember it well. Ta for that! And Beiderbecke's on there too! Haven't seen either in years, so that's my weeks viewing sorted. :)

    Honestly, if anyone out there hasn't seen The Beiderbecke Affair or AVPP do yourselves a favour. Bolam and Flynn are brilliant together in the former, and the latter is surreal brilliance IMO.

    Enough of all this Peter Kay stuff, what happened to the lovely Julie Shipley who played Stephanie?

    She was in a lot of things late 70's/early 80's but seems to have disappeared from our screens since 1987.
    I've been watching the film "That Summer" featuring Julie Shipley, but know nothing of her whereabouts now.

    However, I used to work for the Midland Bank, and a female colleague who lived in Gomersal, West Yorkshire, told me that Julie had become licensee of a pub there called The California.

    However, this information isn't probably too much newer than 1987 and the pub shut down a long time ago!

    The other "chambermaid" in the film, Emily Moore, according to IMDB, disappeared off our screens before Julie Shipley, as long ago as 1984.
