It is an unforeseen though welcome consequence of Gordon Brown's £1bn budget bonanza for schools that the children of Yoxford primary are about to get a new box of skipping ropes.

 Untitled Document
Her role as Pete Postlethwaite's ailing mother in Lost for Words (1999), the writer Deric Longden's autobiographical television play about an elderly woman's final, tragicomic months, confirmed Hird as a performer who could induce both laughter and tears.
She joined Last of the Summer Wine for its 1986 Christmas special as Edie Pegden, sister of the crackpot inventor Seymour Utterthwaite (Michael Aldridge) and wife of the henpecked car mechanic Wesley (the late Gordon Wharmby).
After this special, in which the Pegdens' daughter, Glenda (Sarah Thomas), married Barry Wilkinson (Mike Grady), Hird became a permanent fixture in the writer Roy Clarke's gentle, Yorkshire-set comedy, establishing herself as the tutting ringleader of the women.
