Years of Sally - 2006

-

2006 saw the second and concluding series of Green Wing and the end of Kim Alabaster. Kim continued to get funny lines and scenes throughout the second series. This was the last time that Sally was to appear with Mark Heap (picture in collage) until the 2024 Christmas Special of "Beyond Paradise".

On the stage Sally was to appear in "In Extremis: The Story of Abelard and Heloise". This black comedy debuted in August 2006 and was to revive, for a further run, in 2007. The story is set in twelfth century Paris and tells the story of Abelard, a teacher, who falls in love with his pupil Heloise played by Sally. Much of the comedy surrounds the arrogance of Abelard and the naivety of Heloise.

Over the years Sally has had many "guest" roles in shows. 2006 was no exception.

She had a brief role, as "Pretty Lady Walking a Dog", in a sketch, in the Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher comedy show "Snuff Box".

In "The Bill" Sally played Dee Collier, a rape victim, who is struggling with the traumatic memories as the trial unfolds.

Ray Winstone played the title character is the Private Eye drama Vincent. Sally appeared as a receptionist in episode 3 of the second and final series.

The Story Of The Sally Bretton Appreciation Group

How an enjoyment of the work of Sally Bretton developed into an obsession and, ultimately, a desire to share. (Picture - Daily Telegraph, 28th March 2025 - Interview for Beyond Paradise Series 3)  My first encounter with the work of Sally goes back to her appearances with Harry Enfield in the early 2000's. After her childhood career and just as her adult career was getting underway. I was captivated, of course, by her looks. But, more significantly to me, by the comic performances. So often, in the early days, as a foil for a comedy "genius" of the time. (Picture - Harry Enfield's Brand Spanking New Show, 2000 - "People Think We're Sisters" ) It took me twenty years for that enjoyment to evolve into an "obsession" and by the 2020's I had started to hunt down everything that I could find involving Sally's work. Over time I grew a haphazard collection of DVD's and downloads where it was nigh on impossible to find anything....

Years of Sally - 2004

To my knowledge Sally has only once appeared with Catherine Tate on TV. The significance being that, under different circumstances regarding Tate, Sally might never have appeared on Not Going Out. It is common knowledge that Sally replaced Megan Dodds in Series 2 of NGO. But the knowledge is possibly reserved for the aficianado's that Megan Dodds was not the original Kate. In the, not televised, pilot Kate was played by Catherine Tate. Success in her other endeavours meant that Tate did not move forwards with NGO. Wild West was created by Simon Nye, of Men Behaving Badly fame. It starred Catherine Tate and Dawn French. In the penultimate episode of the second and final series, aired in April 2004, Sally played Victoria the daughter that main character Old Jake (David Bradley) never knew he had. Most of Sally's scenes were with Bradley as they explored their new found father/ daughter relationship. In 2004 BBC News produced a documentary series "If....." which exp...
