The following year she played Nora, the nurse who is at first terrified by The Elephant Man and then befriends John Hurt's character in David Lynch's 1980 Oscar nominated film. She also appeared in the horror anthology film The Monster Club (1981) as Luna, the human ghoul who befriends Stuart Whitman.

Throughout this time and indeed throughout her career, she has regularly appeared on British TV including Murder Most English (1977), Red Shift (1977) and Deadly Game (1982), as well as two guest appearances in Doctor Who, and playing roles in Frontios in 1984 and The Happiness Patrol in 1988.

In the 1990s she starred in the long-running BBC sitcom May to December[3] as Zoe Callender alongside on-screen husband Anton Rodgers.

In 1995, Dunlop starred in the two part Gurinder Chadha directed drama Rich Deceiver as Ellie Freeman, a Liverpudlian housewife who secretly wins the pools and uses the money to covertly help her husband's career. She also starred in the ITV series Wokenwell (1997) and appeared in a long-running series of television adverts for Kleenex directed by Mike Leigh. She played Moira Pridwell in "Something to Treasure," S4:E1 of "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates" (1998).
