Blackadder actress Patsy Byrne dies

British actress Patsy Byrne, best known for playing Nursie in Blackadder II, has died aged 80.

She played Nursie - a kind but dim-witted nursemaid to Elizabeth I - in the second series of BBC comedy Blackadder in 1986.

Byrne's death came just over a week after Rik Mayall, who shared screen time with her as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder, died suddenly at his home in London.

Another one gone; we forget how old they are.

"She died on Tuesday at Denville Hall, a retirement home for actors, in Hillingdon, north-west London."

Poignant statement. The end of life is so sad.

Bless.

I met her when her husband had throat cancer. She was lovely. Sat with the student nurses making them all laugh.
Rip love.

Its a real shame ...RIP Nursie or was it Bernard ?

RIP Nursie, I'll always remember you as the boy without a winkle. I hope you and lord flash heart are in a better place.

You know, the Blackadder/Mr. Bean/Rowan Atkinson will be 70 next year.

Wowzers...
