    Very sad to see the passing of Angela Scoular. Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of Ruby, she did bring a memorable character to the series, and injected the film with her lovely personality.
    A sad loss. May she rest in peace.

    Other credits include The Avengers, Penmarric and As Time Goes By, in 1996 .

    She also played Buttercup in 1966 Bond movie Casino Royale and Ruby Bartlett in 007 adventure On Her Majesty's Secret Service in 1969.

    I watched CR67 yesterday. She's fabulous in it, with the accent and her vitality. Terrible loss. RIP
