If you need further proof of her being alive, Talking Pictures shared a post about the docu series in January on Facebook and they talk about Dainton in the present tense... Patricia Dainton reportedly dead aged 93: Couple of early 1940s films and the UK's first daily soap Sixpenny Corner. Wouldn't surprise me if she was the last survivor of many of her films.

Octopus of Odstock 2,217 Posted June 30, 2023 Nielson is a fan of Leicester City, not Rangers. The local favourite spots is weird too, as is getting the Roy role aged 29. So suspect this is a very well crafted fake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,637 Posted June 30, 2023 Quote David cherished his family and enjoyed spending time with them, taking holidays to the countryside, cycling, and walking. His favorite local spots were Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square. Hmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
