sadly I can't find a proper obituary, just this seemingly AI generated word salad.

RIP enjoyed her In Do Not Adjust your set when I was a tiny budding comedy fan.

If only there was another thread that had announced this news sooner.

Sorry! Your title was too esoteric for me to pick up on. I see it now. :( : https://www.cookdandbombd.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=93470.0

How strange - at the weekend I went on a bit of a nostalgia graze through The Adventure Game and Look and Read, which for no particular reason involved Dark Towers (where Denise Coffey was the presenter) and her episode of The Adventure Game.  I just thought it a coincidence I'd seen her twice back to back without planning to, but the fact she has died makes it a bit spooky really.

Hope she has more adventures in her Hypersonic Mole.

I sometimes mix her up with Jo Kendall - both were in The Burkiss Way, both were the sole woman in pre-Python stuff (I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again*/Do Not Adjust Your Set), both were occasionally in ISIHAC - and now they've both died within the space of a couple of months :-(
