Biography
Practising doctor and actress who found particular fame as a panellist of the BBC version of What's My Line?. Her solicitor husband was knighted, so she was sometimes referred to as Lady Isobel Barnett.
After her TV career took a downturn, she descended into a reclusive livelihood and became a kleptomaniac. She committed suicide in 1980 after being convicted of stealing a tin of salmon.
Trivia
As well as Many a Slip, she also appeared on another Ian Messiter show, the women's discussion show Petticoat Lane.
She had at least two flowers named after her, including a hosta and a fuchsia.
