Re: RIP Linda Smith
I didn't remember her name, but recognised her face straight away. Really funny lady. And 48 is certainly no age to die

it was said that she was the funniest person to have a cup of tea with and she would not script out her jokes like other news quiz comedians - just ad lib them totally
Goodnight Linda

Re: RIP Linda Smith
Saw 101 - seemed a smart lady. I agreed with her on opera singers singing pop music. Just trying to make opera popular but having the opposite affect. Annoys me no end.
News articles that are devoid of information - straight into 101

Re: RIP Linda Smith
The way she cut Neil Kinnock down in the repeat of HIGNFY tonight was classic - asking him if he thought he'd have been better off keeping his mouth shut during the '92 election

Re: RIP Linda Smith
A brave lass to appear in public (first time of showing), joke about consultants and their bow ties, bad test results, and appear in a not-too-good wig, with the viewers not knowing her condition.
Quite an inspiration to me.
