Felicity Kendal has remembered Dame Penelope Keith, her co-star in The Good Life, as a “comic genius” who was “a joy to know and work with”, in a statement to the Press Association.
The actress, whose death aged 86 was announced on Monday, was best known as snobbish suburbanite Margo Leadbetter in the BBC sitcom, as well as the widowed aristocrat Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in To The Manor Born.
