You know, you come from nothing, you’re going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!
I often wondered what happened to the career of that wonderful Welsh singer/actress Sue Jones-Davies...
I remember Sue vividly as the "interloper" whose gravelly alcohol-fuelled vocals first added to, then ultimately destroyed the fictional band "The Little Ladies" in Rock Follies of 77.

She famously appeared as the brilliantly-named Judith Iscariot, Brian's girlfriend in Life of Brian.
Bizarrely Sue is now the newly-elected Mayor of Aberystwyth(!) in West Wales, and her first action is to call for a lifting of the town's ban on the Monty Python film.
