Joan Sims

Joan Sims (1930 - 2001)
== Film Deaths ==
*Carry On Screaming! (1966) [Emily Bung]: Injected with a "petrifying" formula by Kenneth Williams in his laboratory, transforming her into a mannequin. Her body (an obvious dummy) is shown afterwards when her husband (Harry H. Corbett) and Peter Butterworth discover her, and then again (this time actually her) standing on display in Harry's living room. Although she could be brought back to life (as Angela Douglas was revived from her own petrified state), it's clear that Harry has no intention of doing so. (Played for comic effect.)

*Carry On Christmas: Carry On Stuffing: (segment) The Last Outpost (1972) [Genaral Clodhoper's Mother-in Law): Shot out of picture when her son-in-law Kenneth Connor takes her, his wife Hattie Jacques and his daughter Barbara Windsor into an adjoining room and we hear the shots as he kills all  three in the mistaken belief that the local tribesmen are 'attacking' the outpost when in reality they are celebrating gifts of saucepans given to them by Kenneth! Played for laughs. (Thanks to Brian)
*Agatha Christie's Miss Marple: A Murder Is Announced (1985 mini-series) [Miss Murgatroyd]: Strangled with a cloth by Ursula Howells while Joan is taking her laundry down from the clothesline. Her body is shown again afterwards when Paola Dionisotti and Joan Hickson discover her.
*Doctor Who: The Trial of a Time Lord: Part Four (1986) [Queen Katryca]: Killed with a blast of energy by the robot Drathro (voiced by Roger Brierley).
