Ny Ranomaso sy ny Herin’ny Reny

  Nandalo tsikelikely ny rivotra tao amin’ny efitrano fianarana, toy ny feon’ny fahanginana alohan’ny tafiotra.

Tsy niteny i Laura tamin’ny voalohany. Nanatona fotsiny izy, niondrika kely, nikasika ny lohan’i Elena, ary nitsapa ny volony tapaka. Nahatsapa ny zanany mikipy sy mivandravandra, tsy noho ny fanaintainana, fa noho ny fahamenarana lalina . — Anaka, hoy izy tamim-pahanginana, tsy ny volo no manome anao hasina, fa ny fomba itondranao ny tenanao. Saingy izao nataon’izy ireo izao… tsy tokony havelantsika fotsiny. Nitsangana i Laura, nijery mivantana ny mpampianatra. Ny masony tsy nitabataba, fa nitondra loza mangina . — Aiza ny talen’ny sekoly? hoy izy tamin’ny feo mangina, nefa nifanindry tamin’ny herin’ny didy. Nitsangana tampoka ilay mpampianatra, miezaka ni...

They got married in 1958 but divorced three years later. He went on to find fame in the sitcom Rising Damp.

Tewson later became a regular on TV on The Charlie Drake Show and The Dick Emery Show in the late 1960s. On radio, she was in the casts of The Ronnie Corbett Thing, The Secret Life of Kenneth Williams and Bob Monkhouse's Mostly Monkhouse.

She also made frequent appearances in The Two Ronnies with Barker and Corbett, and in a string of TV comedies with Terry Scott - Son of the Bride, Happy Ever After and Terry and June.

After starring in Keeping Up Appearances, the show's writer Roy Clarke provided Tewson with the role of Miss Davenport in Last of the Summer Wine between 2003 and 2010.

Both of these incarnations are unimaginable today: a docile, amenable dolly bird hanging around Cliff and the Shadows, and a tol...
