I noticed she was absent from the last series of Ed Reardon and wondered if perhaps she wasn't well, or had retired. Watched the first series of Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads again quite recently. She's great as the would be suburban housewife with a core of steel. Thelma was strait laced on the face of it, but could spring the occasional surprise e.g. when she takes Terry's part at the posh dinner party. Had no idea she was a musician as well. Talented lady. |

Whatever happened to the likely lads is one of the great comedies made better by her portrayal of Thelma, was great in Ed Readon’s week on the radio and as battleaxe Madge in still open all hours as well as numerous television and theatre appearances over the years.
RIP

Sad news. I hadn't known she was Scottish until a couple of years ago.
Brilliant as Thelma, but did so much more.
RIP

Always be Thelma to me. I will watch the Christmas Special of ‘Whatever Happened To…’ this year, like every year - Captain Hook and Peter Pan, both gone now. Who’s gonna buy Terry some gloves now to keep his hands warm this Christmas since he took up that taxiing job.  As a major part of the cast she helped create the best sitcom ever. RIP Thelma. Err, I mean Brigit. |

She was great in Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads. Also as part of the always excellent cast in Ed Reardon's week. I have got a press photo of her somewhere in some period Scottish drama from the 1970s. She will be missed.

Bob and Thelma (nee Chambers) Ferris.. one of the greatest sitcom couples of all time. Thelma was the sex pot of the Elm Lodge Housing Estate for me.. Though outwardly prissy she had a naughty side just below the surface. I know she was Brigit, but to me she will always be the sultry Thelma. RIP Brigit/Thelma. Gone to join her beloved Bob, and no doubt nag him into putting a fresh coat of gloss on those pearly gates...

RIP Ms Forsyth. An essential part of the iconic series Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads.
