Kathy Staff Interview 2005

Kathy Staff discusses mainly her role as Doris Luke at the Crossroads Motel due to the series being released on DVD. Kathy also talks about Nora Batty and her ten roles in Coronation St.

[@OolongTGuy]

I like at the end how he called her Nora. Rest in peace Kathy, you made this world a cheerier place.

[@merlinstwin7373]

She brought so much joy. I loved Nora Batty. The chemistry between Kathy and Bill Owen was wonderful to watch. So perfect. RIP, dear lady.

[@Tonithenightowl]

Love this actress. Never heard of Crossroads Motel but I'll look it up. She was hysterical in LOSW she and Bill Owen were perfectly suited opposites lol It's wonderful as an American to see the British shows we didn't get to see on YT. I have always loved British comedy and now I can indulge myself. :o)

[@JudgeMarmianWiZard]

I remeber she was on the table behind me back in 1989 in the old Dutch pancake house, st Peter's square Manchester. Lots of people were coming up to her asking for autographs but she waS very polite and freindly to them even though they were disturbing her meal it was my 17th birthday treat that's how I remeber and Nora batty was eating pancakes with me haha

[@boblivermore]

Still watching LOTSW in 2020! loved all the characters ...RIP Kathy (Nora Batty)

[@WallyPyneoil]

Thanks so much for this. It's funny, but only yesterday morning I was sorting through my 1980s Crossroads collection, and looking at lots of the episodes, many of which featured Doris. Kathy was a lovely, natural actress - and a charming, down to earth lady. My sympathy to her family and friends.

I Always thought Kathys character had a nice lady side to her, and she truly has. RIP Kathy Staff

[@camrenwick]

Lovely lady. RIP

[@Tiggzg]

What an amazing actress and genuine lady. I have always loved how supportive she was of Crossroads and her love for the show. You are missed Kathy, thanks for all the wonderful memories you left us. ❤️

[@AJeanC30]

"Before her role on Last of the Summer Wine"..?? The producers missed that error, Kathy was on Summer Wine ('73) before Crossroads ('78)

[@AssociatedTVNetwork]

She first appeared in Crossroads in 1971 as a different character but they should have really been clear on that.

[@AJeanC30]

@@AssociatedTVNetwork oh! looks as though it's my turn to be unaware of what i'm talking about, ha! Thank you for sharing that bit of info! ( :

[@markknight1011]

Also in open all hours.

[@dpshtfc764]

finest show on earth coming out of holmfirth huddersfield

[@cubdukat]

She is truly missed. Supposedly she left "Summer Wine" because it just wasn't the same without Bill Owen.

[@alanwitton5039]

Great actress sadly missed

[@dramaticguy]

Kathy Staff was great as Nora but her favourite role to me,was Miss Doris Luke in the orginal Crossroads,I didn't like the remakes. Miss Luke spoke her mind but had a heart of gold.

[@86am]

These presenters are clueless. First he takes a cheap shot at Crossroads' sets and acting before introducing Kathy Staff. Then the woman thinks that Nora Batty is a Crossroads character, then the man asks if Last of the Summer Wine is a soap. huh?

[@marcustibbs2803]

RIP kathy staff

[@MrBooojangles]

I ditto Ddamagnez and for Crossroads as well, thats when I first saw her, but I never knew she was in Corrie and for 10 different parts!

[@goodiesguy]

Last of the summer wine is the SECOND longest running comedy series, the first being The Benny Hill Show which ran for 40 years.

[@petej3800]

Many were repeat series, LOSW were new every season.

[@levimacdonald5188]

Rip Kathy , Nora batty❤❤

[@72mossy]

We loved Last of the summer's wine here in Ireland. Still watch it. Nora was my own mother's name RIP. She wasn't a battleaxe though.

[@CrossroadsFanClub]

@CenaTv2 The Benny Hill Show isn't a sitcom, its a sketch show.

[@magdelenelouw558]

Love. Too. All. Off. You❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@roberttaylor9767]

Was that Alf Stewart from home and away? in the clip of crossroads.

[@chucklucas8747]

It was great how they used limited amount of people an the outdoors in the show

[@atvnetworklimited]

@morgansifer82 She obviously meant Doris Luke but is too 'blonde' to do her research.

[@paulwild3676]

Crossroads made Hollyoaks look like Boys from the Blackstuff. I believe John Lyndon wrote for a part once.

[@brian-sm8tx]

Rip

[@irelandandtheuk1280]

She was 14yrs younger than Bill

[@neilaspin008]

Duki represent.

[@alexhillery4457]

[@staff97]

[@AssociatedTVNetwork]

She has two daughters.

[@Spillage66]

And it was crap!

[@Trev359]

It's a shame these presenters didn't get their facts right before doing this item.

[@AJeanC30]

So glad someone else noticed!
