Default Fork Handles lady customer?
The iconic Fork Handles sketch also features at beginning a lady customer leaving shop as Ronnie Barker enters- who is this actress who appeared in such a famous sketch?
I hear the Union Jack still remains.I see Namijira in custody
and I see Truganini's in chains.

I watched the clip earlier. Ronnie Barker gives her more than a passing look. The woman's appearance has nothing to do with the sketch and there was no reason for her to be in it.

But the look RB gives her - sort of puzzlement and surprise - makes me wonder if she was actually pretty famous. Or maybe it was an 'in joke' of some sort.

I love that odd, quizzical look that RB gave. Could it be that the Fork Handles sketch was originally longer and featured the lady in a gag that was cut before TX?
Probably not, as i'm sure the off-cut would have turned up by now.

There is a obscure ? actress somewhere telling people she was in that famous sketch - was it her "15 mins of fame?" or the famous theory is a possibility - but surely by now it would have been revealed
