Rest In Peace, Una Stubbs

[calliopes_pen]

Una Stubbs has passed away, at the age of 84, following a brief illness. May she rest in peace.

No matter how I feel about the series of Sherlock as a whole, I have always felt that she made a fantastic Mrs. Hudson, and her very presence was a delight. I still remember a particular quote about the character, too. “Mrs Hudson, leave Baker Street? England would fall!“ She will be sorely missed.

Looking through her IMDB filmography, I see that she also popped up on The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes, back in 1971; the episode is The Woman In the Big Hat. I have not yet had the opportunity to view that series, but I had heard of it before.

Oh no! She was fantastic.

One of those performers whose range is so wide, they are often underappreciated - the ideal opposite to Jon Pertwee in Worzel Gummidge, and fantasy of Anthony Newley in The Strange World of Gurney Slade. And clearly a lovely person too.
