93 was a great innings. Of course played the memorable role of the widow Murdoch in top Minder series 4 episode 'The car lot baggers'

Terry & June (and its predecessor 'Happy Ever After') probably her most remembered roles. Very sad news, can't think of a bad performance.
RIP June

I echo the sentiments left here.
Very adaptable lady, and very nice by accounts.
RIP June.

A real sad one this despite the good innings. As a fan of radio comedy, I know she was a legend in that field alone before we even get onto her TV career. The list of people she has worked with over the years is stunning and she was always invited back to do more. She was also adored by fans of comedy whether it was old style comedy or more alternative stuff. I'm away to watch her Minder episode in tribute to her and see her pit her wits against another acting great. RIP June  |

She was great in whatever she did. She had some great lines in Absolutely Fabulous which she delivered to perfection.

Very sad to hear this. A likeable, re-assuring presence whenever she appeared, a straight actress emphasising the comedy around her.
And indeed, someone I remember particularly from my childhood.
R.I.P. June Whitfield.

By all accounts a very nice lady and without doubt a consummate professional - when you look back through her illustrious career and see what she was a part of : Hancock's blood doner sketch, The Glums, Carry On films and long running BBC sitcoms just scratch the surface.
RIP dear lady

Very sad news.
June Whitfield, is one of my favourite TV Actresses.
Terry and June, is one of my favourite TV Sitcoms, I also very much like the 1970's Sitcom Happy Ever After, in which June played June Fletcher.
I will never forget an episode of Terry and June, where June, did an impersonation of Margaret Thatcher.
I have got lots of June Whitfield's film and TV appearances on DVD (including the two Sitcom's, mentioned above).
Terry Scott and June Whitfield, also created a memorable partnership, in the 1972 film version of the Sitcom Bless This House
An episode of Terry and June, will be shown (in tribute to June) on BBC1, tonight, starting at 7.30pm.
R.I.P. June Whitfield.

Always surprises me June Whitfield (a very good actress) never appeared in any of Nigel Kneales's or Rudolf Cartier's work from the early days of the BBC. I think she would have been a good guest star on Callan (would have like to have seen her in Amos Green Must Live in Annette Crosbie's role) or in The Sweeney in the role Diana Dors had. But she had a huge body of work. We shall not see the likes of her again.

I watched the documentary on her over the Christmas period. June had such longevity and worked with so many people. A really talented actress, will anyone have a career like hers again?
