International Velvet (1978), Oliver Twist (1982) and Octopussy (1983).[3] Television serials in which she appeared include Follyfoot, Miss Marple in They Do It With Mirrors as Mrs Rodgers in 1991, Fawlty Towers as a nurse in "The Germans", Only When I Laugh as the matron nurse in "Last Tango" in 1980, Are You Being Served? as a customer in "The Erotic Dreams of Mrs Slocombe", Dad's Army as Mrs Prentice in "All is Safely Gathered In", It Ain't Half Hot Mum in "The Last Roll Call" as the WVS Lady, The Famous Five, three episodes of Hi-De-Hi, as a VoiceOver role as a station announcer in "Together Again", a camper in "Raffles", and a maid in "Wedding Bells", and The Legacy of Reginald Perrin.[4] Perhaps her most famous role was as the cook, Mrs. Lipton, in You Rang, M'Lord?.[5] DeathCowling retired in 2006 after suffering a stroke.
