Only just seen this on BBC lunchtime news!
R.i.p !
Thanks for all the lovely Sunday afternoon memories as SUPER GRAN!
And most recently, singing the theme tune with Mrs jno approaching the Hungarian border!
This show was very popular in Hungary, shown there in the cold war days!

To be fair, she has a had bloody good innings to reach that age. Every time I drive to Hungary I have memories of singing the Super Gran theme with yoyopickles! Let's not forget she starred alongside George Cole in 'A Life of Bliss' in 1960 and then again 30 years later in 'Life After Life' in 1990 (also starring Gary Webster) Link: minder.proboards.com/thread/711/george-cole-gary-webster-afterRIP Super Gran |

Although Supergran was a low budget affair and only ran for a few series, it is a series that so many remember fondly,
RIP Supergran

Sad news.
Super Gran, is one of my all time favourite Children's TV programmes, and I have fond memories of watching the series, in the 1980's, I watched (on DVD) all the episodes of Super Gran, again, a few years ago.
R.I.P. Gudrun Ure.

A couple of years ago I watched the first series of Super Gran but still have the second to watch, it's all good fun. These were released separately by Network DVD and virtually all copies are now sold or silly money, any forum members wanting to buy them I do have a link for a supplier that still has some copies (brand new) they will sell both series 1 & 2 for £19.99 delivered, if you want the link then PM me, I won't put it here in case any guests (non members) are viewing and purchase them to make a few quid selling them on ebay for more.
I haven't seen Gudrun in anything else but the effort and energy she portrayed in Super Gran plus performing many of her own stunts I can imagine she is very good at whatever part she plays.
98 is a good age.
RIP

Aye, Gudrun had a good run at 98.
Super Gran was magic on Sunday afternoons.
I've never seen an episode since OT and wouldn't want to, but a happy memory of childhood and what a theme tune.
RIP
