"Adventures of a Jelly Baby"

Our popular summer away-day lunch continues this year, again in Brighton, with a very special guest, actress and writer Judy Cornwell.

Judy grew up in Britain, before moving to Australia where her family emigrated. She later returned to Britain, where she became a professional dancer and comedian in her teens, working her act between the nudes at the Windmill Theatre before becoming an actress. Her long career includes roles in radio's The Navy Lark, the controversial play Oh! What A Lovely War, her own tv comedy series Moody and Pegg, and several seasons with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Judy’s movie roles include Santa Claus: The Movie and Mad Cows. On television she has appeared in Dixon of Dock Green, Bergerac, Doctor Who (the episode Paradise Towers), The Famous Five, The Bill, Heartbeat and Midsomer Murders. She also appeared on radio as WREN Cornwell in The Navy Lark. She is most famously remembered for playing the part of Daisy in Keeping Up Appearances in the 1990s – a show that became the BBC’s biggest selling export!

Judy Cornwell has published a number of books, including her autobiography Adventures of a Jelly Baby (published in 2005), and several novels, including Cow and Cow Parsley in 1985, Fishcakes at the Ritz in 1989, The Seventh Sunrise in 1994, and Fear and Favour in 1996. Judy will bring some copies of her (paperback edition) autobiography to the lunch and will gladly sign copies. Judy has a great body of work and a great body of anecdotes – it’s going to be great fun!
