MANY FACES OF: Joanna Lumley

-

We can follow the veteran actress around Britain in Home Sweet Home (8pm, ITV), and here’s where to watch some of the roles that have made her a TV treasure… Sapphire And Steel,

● After working as a model, one of Joanna’s earliest screen roles was in 1969 Bond film

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Buy or rent on Amazon, Apple TV. In 1973, as Elaine Perkins (left), she had brief spin with Ken Barlow in Coronation Street, and almost succumbed to Christophe­r Lee’s Count in The Satanic Rites Of Dracula. Buy or rent on Amazon, Youtube, Google Play.

● She became an action heroine through her TV work in the 1970s. After playing Purdey in The New Avengers (1976-77), she co-starred with David Mccallum (centre) in the sci-fi series from 1979 to 1982. All episodes available on Britbox.

Prior to that, she had appeared with Mccallum’s

The Man From Uncle co-star, Robert Vaughn, in a 1973 episode of detective show The Protectors. On Acorn TV and Amazon Prime.

● Joanna worked steadily through the 1980s and 1990s, including in episodes of

Lovejoy in 1992.

On UKTV Play. But it was her hilarious turn as Patsy Stone (right) in

Absolutely Fabulous (1992-2012) that stole our hearts. All episodes available on BBC iplayer.
