I was just thinking about how many stars of 60s/70s/early 80s sitcom stars are still around and working.

The first I thought of was June Whitfield. Then there's Felicity Kendall.
Also I remember seeing Stephanie Cole and the woman who played the nurse in the xmas special of OAH.

Who else is still going?

    Michael Crawford & Michelle Dortrice from Some Mothers still very much around and in the business of course but mainly on stage these days.

    From On The Buses only Blakey survives to this day, most recently in Last Of The Summer Wine but would think he's retired now.

    Tessa Wyatt from Robin's Nest was in Eastenders last year for a few episodes playing the dancing partner of Love Thy Neighbour's Ruldoph Walker.

    As far as I am aware Don Estelle, Windsor Davies and Melvin Hayes all still with us from It Ain't Alf Hot Mum.
