  Whitfield, June
June Whitfield is a durable comedy actor whose entire career has been spent providing excellent support to virtually every major British comedian on radio and television.
Whitfield made her debut on television in 1951 in The Passing Show (BBC) and appeared as support to Bob Monkhouse and Derek Goodwin in Fast And Loose (BBC, 1954).
Terry and June was Whitfield's most famous vehicle, and her portrayal of a typical long-suffering wife (June Fletcher) with a perennially adolescent husband (Terry Fletcher, played by Terry Scott) while not stretching her talent as an actor, nevertheless demonstrated her amazing consistency and willingness to bring the best out of any material.
