(504 posts)4. Amazing longevity
Absolutely Fabulous and Terry and June were both enormous hits in their day, and June Whitfield even appeared with Tony Hancock in the legendary 'The Blood Donor' episode ("A pint?! That's very nearly an armful! I'm not walking around with an empty arm for anyone!" - when you throw in several Carry On films, appearances in The Benny Hill Show, Steptoe and Son, Frankie Howerd, The Pallisers, Minder, Marple, Midsomer Murders, Last of the Summer Wine and so on, June has really always been there.
