Gilly Flower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilly Flower was an English actress, who is best remembered as the elderly Miss Abitha Tibbs in Fawlty Towers, from 1975 to 1979, a role that she played for its entire run of twelve episodes and, along with Renee Roberts - who played Miss Tibbs' companion, Miss Ursula Gatsby - played the role once more (albeit briefly) in Only Fools and Horses in 1983.
She had a number of other roles, her first being in 1932, and continued to appear on British television, in such programmes as Z-Cars, Steptoe and Son, and The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, until she retired from acting in 1991.
In a 2001 interview, Prunella Scales confirmed that both Flower and Roberts were now deceased. [Fact|Fawlty Towers DVD box set interviews]
