Wikipedia says Sadie Thelma is her name, but I have no age.

The article says their interview took place in 1991, so I think maybe you didn't see the year properly, thus thinking the interview took place recently. However, there are a few 90-year-olds who have a living parent.

About 20 years ago, in what can only be described as the early, unsophisticated days of the web, there was a TV programme called Black Box (about airplane crashes and the subsequent investigation, hence the title).

 

Wanting to know what time it was on, I googled it at work! It was educational...

Jesus here we go.... sure thing names X off list.  
Though she IS a decent litmus test on how shite your UK press is.  If the wife of Tom Watson doesn't QO by all means UK press can go fuck itself silly after covering the cancer of some football hack's wife (i.e. Tiffany Young).  
Kudos to The Scotsman (lol) but that to be expected.
