CLAIRE Nielson has starred in hundreds of TV, film and theatre productions but there’s one that’s regarded as a national treasure.
Playing the wife of an American guest driven to distraction by Basil’s antics in Fawlty Towers episode ‘Waldorf Salad’ made her face and voice familiar to millions.
And as a regular on the Two Ronnies show for more than a decade, she’s in scores of classic comedy sketches, still notching up thousands of views on TV and YouTube.
