Was this the comedy set in a pickle factory? Jimmy Jewel played her husband? I have just googled it… he was her brother!

I loved Hylda Baker. I went to see her in cabaret once with her lanky friend, Cynthia and she was so funny.
‘Be soon l say, be soon’ or ‘Must get the little hand fixed on my watch’.
