Ah yes, Diana Dors whose real name was Diana Fluck. The following anecdote may or may not be true:

"Diana Dors once asked and readily agreed to open a fete in her home town of Swindon. She lunched with the local vicar, during which, she let slip that her real name was Diana Fluck. The vicar became somewhat worried about his planned speech.

"After lunch, they arrived at the appointed time. The vicar began and uttered these immortal words. 'Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you, our star guest, we all love her and especially as she is our local girl. I therefore feel it right to introduce her by her real name, Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Diana Clunt.'"
Thanks for the nice photos of the late Susannah, who sadly left us just over a year ago. WO Warwick was played by Michael Bates, of Patton and It Ain't Half Hot, Mum fame. He served as a Major with the Brigade of Ghurkas in WW2, hence his military bearing in Battle of Britain came quite naturally to him. Regrettably, he died in 1978 at the relatively young age of 57.
