Sue was such a great character and gave the early days a raw and dark edge.

Very sad news. RIP Sandy.

Somehow I've never watched Family Life. It looks incredibly good...

I haven't seen it for years, but yeah it is really good. I think Harry Cross from Brookside played her dad. I remember Sue had a scene in Enders where she said, "I used to be quite beautiful once," which made me think of how she looked in this film.

Aha, just found it!

I had a feeling you may be familiar with it, James.

It's made it onto my viewing bucket list. If my Italian was up to scratch I could watch it on Vimeo. As it is, I'll keep my eyes peeled for a reasonably priced copy on DVD.

Gosh. He certainly got around in the early Seventies, didn't he?
