Starring Sunny Ormonde (Lillian Bellamy in The Archers)
Lilian

The indomitable Dorothy is the mainstay of Neighborhood Watch and scourge of litter louts. After losing her slot on hospital radio, due to an unfortunate incident with a golf ball and a pair of tights, she’s seized control of a new microphone. So she’s now broadcasting to the residents of her retirement home: Barmy Frank, Mad Alice, One-Armed Annie and the rest.

Of course, she has Media Connections, what with her niece Sunny being in The Archers – something she manages to slip into every conversation. Several times.

And she's not afraid to air her views about everything, from Desert Island Discs to doctors; from net curtains to corsets.
