So very sad to see she has died at the age of 86.
I have always loved her as Margo in the Good Life which I have just finished watching for the umpteenth time.

“Cheque book please, Jerry”.

Oh my, you can just hear her voice saying that can't you. 😂💐

Remember the scene with the council official in the council office, and how she put him in his place? My favourite I think.

She was amazing in The Good Life and To The Manor Born.
Preferred her and Paul Eddington to Felicity Kendall and Richard Briers. Much funnier imho.
Thoughts are with her loved ones 💐💐

The first words I said when I heard the news were " Oh no, not Margot" She played her to perfection.

Agree. The good life wouldn’t have been funny at all if it wasn’t for Penelope Keith.

She will always be Margot to me. But like the great Patricia Routledge please don't call this wonderful lady an actor, it is so disrespectful. She was an actress.
