Whatever happened to Prunella Gee?

[wellendcanons]

A lovely actress. I enjoyed seeing her in The Wilby Conspiracy and her TV episodes of The Sweeney, Hammer House Of Horror and Return Of The Saint. I haven't ever seen Shabby Tiger but it's something I would watch and will get around to one day. My brother loved it.

Kinvig is something I've never seen but have discovered more about on Wikipedia and customer reviews on Amazon, where I might just buy the DVD (when it's a little cheaper). I'm interested in how she worked with the prolific Tony Haygarth who was in forgotten sitcom Rosie about the same time. Here is how Prunella appeared in Kinvig (I don't know what to think) ..."

Was "Rosie" a spin off from "The Growing Pains of PC Penrose (TV Series 1975)" as I can clearly remember Tony Haygarth as the scruffy PC

Thanks for including that extract from my earlier post (uncredited!), wadey. I'd forgotten my contributions here until this thread was resurrected. The TVTimes article will have to be reposted as the text looks unreadable.

In answer to your query, The Growing Pains of P.C. Penrose was the original title. It was called Rosie from the second series onwards. Just like Dear Mother ... Love Albert was retitled Albert. Another thing those sitcoms have in common is that both stars sang the theme tune: Paul Greenwood with Rosie and Rodney Bewes with Albert. I watched the last black-and-white episode of that show earlier. Still waiting for Rosie to appear on DVD.

I didn't enjoy Shabby Tiger all that much, unfortunately. Prunella's strange hat and inconsistent Irish accent got on my nerves after the first couple of episodes. There wasn't much chemistry between her and John Nolan either, notably when he paints her in the nude. Very nonplussed he was! A young Sharon Maughan (credited as 'Mughan' throughout the series) was the best thing about it and she had some good scenes with Patrick Holt.

I hope I like Kinvig better!

Saw her a few times in provincial tours - she really can stage act

She was married to Ken Campbell in the late 70s and they had a daughter, Daisy. They divorced but always remained good friends.

I finally saw Prunella in the Cover Story episode of The Sweeney last week on ITV4, she was a charming actress.

Anyway, to answer the question "Whatever happened to Prunella Gee?", I came across this website: camdentherapy.com. She is now a therapist and has her own London based business.
