Rooms ( Nellie Part 1 ) Tue, Apr 8, 1975

[@julievan-dungey5161]

This really hit home for me. At the time this was aired I lost my home - it felt like I lost my life. Mum tried to ‘off’ herself and dad kicked me out. The memories have never left me and it took decades to recover ‘me’. I wish I had found a friend like this at that time. Sorry for the gloom 😎

🤗Thinking of you I can empathise with your situation. Hope life’s been kinder to you since 🙏✨❤️

[@julievan-dungey5161]

@ thank you for your kind words.

[@lilliankeane5731]

Good to get stuff off your chest though♥️, life can be crap no doubt about that, a sense of humour helps. Wishing you all the best.

[@fatalisticbunny]

Thank you for posting. These daytime dramas were terrific. Wish they still made them like they did back then.

[@Pureblood10000]

This is like a grim version of Rising Damp

[@RussellShawHiggs]

Blimey. Doing the washing up in the bath. That’s grim. I lived in a few bedsits in the late 70s, but they tended to include a sink in the actual room.

[@veganandy152]

You're not wrong! Of course, to save water she should have added a splosh of bubble bath and got in the bath too, to free two birds with one key!

[@evelynwilson1566]

I lived in a few in Glasgow and Stirling in the nineties. Some had sinks in the room and mostl had shared kitchens and bathrooms. Sometimes I got lucky and they had cook8ng facilities in the room.

[@RussellShawHiggs]

@@evelynwilson1566 my bedsits in the late 70s & 80s all had a sink and a cooking area. Shared bathrooms. I couldn’t imagine ever doing my washing up in a shared bath :)

[@gplunk]

You know you're on the downslide when you're doing the washing up in the bloody loo....

[@niajeannine]

hey... she has a fireplace... alll is right with the world... its manageable and looks a bit comfortable...

[@imanihekima1659]

Keen-eyed Fawlty Towers fans might recognise the actress who played 'Nellie' from the Waldorf Salad episode in which she has a brief speaking role.

[@veganandy152]

And three years earlier (1976) she played Mrs C.J. in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.

[@JaneEva]

Sandra looks so much like Jaqueline Tong from Upstairs Downstairs (Daisy).

[@RockyValentino2013]

It's actress Cheryl Hall

[@IN_THIS_DAY_AND_AGE]

​@@RockyValentino2013 Wolfie's girlfriend in Citizen Smith.

[@ameliaq.7481]

She does look a lot like her. I actually clicked on this episode because the woman playing Nellie looked like a side character from Upstairs, Downstairs but I couldn't place her. I had to Google it. She played Mrs. "not with my leg" Fellowes, the cook that worked in Elizabeth and Lawrence's house.
