CHILDHOOD CRUSH:
Joanne Lumley as Purdy, I loved The New Avengers TV Series at the time.
It was also because one evening on a train from London to Birmingham in 1983 she was the only person sitting in the Buffet on them old plastic chairs, and I managed to speak to her for about an hour - She was such a nice lady and the posters stayed up on my wall for a long time.
