    Although most viewers in England probably know her from Gavin and Stacey, for me, she really shines as the octagenarian stripper Mrs Hepplewhite in High Hopes.

    Thanks for the info, I've just sky+ it for Monday. Im from South Wales now living in Cambridgeshire.
    She is an absolute legend she is to Welsh comedy like Liz Smith ( nanna from Royle family) is to english comedy, both often overlooked sadly where any awards are due!
    I remember seeing Margaret John in very small part in 'Twin Town' and thinking that woman is a hilarious and a star in the making !! :D:D
