Nothing will ever beat the faces of the England players when Nigel Kennedy performed for them at Italia ‘90…

What made Penelope Keith's Margo unforgettable, though, was not only her gift for withering the people around her. Keith refused to play her as a caricature. Beneath the social anxiety, the impossible standards and the perfectly manicured borders was a woman who loved deeply. You laughed at Margo; Keith made sure you understood her too. The marriage to Jerry remains one of television’s most convincing: they exasperated each other endlessly, and the adoration underneath was never once in doubt.

The danger for an actor with her voice, her height, her bearing was a lifetime casting as “the posh woman.” In one sense that is precisely what happened. Yet she returned to those women – Audrey Forbes-Hamilton in To the Manor Born, and so many others on stage and screen – and made each one distinct: formidable, exasperating, vulnerable, lonely, unexpectedly warm, often inside a single episode. She never settled for a stereotype; she found the woman underneath and gave her intelligence, dignity and a private ache. She understood that the funniest characters are the ones who never suspect they’re being funny but believe, to their bones, that they’re right.

If David Hockney was French, there would be an enormous funeral in St Sulpice in Paris and he would be buried in the Pantheon.
