Sheila Mercier

played Annie Sugden on Emmerdale Farm a farming based soap opera which is still running on ITV in the UK. Now it is called Emmerdale which I tend to feel should come with an exclamation mark. When it was actually about the farm it was quite good, then it got silly (a plane crashed on the village for pity's sake, far too close to real life I thought, somewhat tactless). What I actually looked up was when she was born (1919).
