Patsy Byrne, the actress best known for playing Nursie in the Blackadder television series, has died at 80.
Denville Hall, a care home for elderly actors in north-west London, said she died on June 17.
Patsy played Nursie - a woman whose real name was Bernard - alongside Miranda Richardson's Elizabeth I in the second series of the hit comedy, set in the Tudor era.
She is the second star of the cult 1980s series to die in as many weeks, with Ri k Mayall, who played Lord Flashheart in the second and fourth series, buried yesterday. He died at his home in Barnes, south-west London, last week.
The two shared screen time during the second series of Blackadder in 1986, with Rik's sex-obsessed lothario asking Patsy's plump middle-aged female character: "Am I pleased to see you or did I just put a canoe in my pocket?"
Tributes poured in on the Blackadder Facebook page, where a statement said: " Very saddened to hear that Blackadder has lost another amazing actor. RIP Patsy Byrne AKA Nursie AKA Bernard. You and Flasheart (sic) can flirt for an eternity now."
