Dooogs Aug 2021 3:42pm, 12 Aug 2021 7,053 posts	0 Dooogs That's sad (although 84 is a decent innings) - I instantly think of Una Stubbs with Lionel Blair if anyone mentions 'Give Us A Clue', or indeed, any sort of charades at all... I was terrified of Jon Pertwee's Worzel Gummidge but I'm not sure I ever clocked that Anne Sally was Una!

Diogenes Aug 2021 3:57pm, 12 Aug 2021 62,057 posts	0 Diogenes I always think of Una Stubbs in terms of the great lines Humphrey Littleton used to deliver when introducing ISIHAC's version of Give Us A Clue, such as: "The experts expert on Give Us A Clue, was Lionel Blair. Who can ever forget opposing team captain Una Stubbs sitting open mouthed as he tried to pull off Twelve Angry Men in under two minutes!"

Sharkie Aug 2021 4:25pm, 12 Aug 2021 18,413 posts	0 Sharkie Jenny, you must feel rather as I do - that she's 'always' been there. With some famous people you think, 'Oh are they still alive?' With Una Stubbs it's hard to comprehend she won't surprise and delight us in something else new and unexpected.
