  • Trivia
    Played on her censorious character in Mind Your Language (1977) in a television advertisement for British milk. The advertisement had the theme of milk giving people the courage (the 'bottle') to do outrageous acts...Ms Nutley delivering a disgusted 'Well!' on seeing a woman (with a towel!) in a men's sauna in line to the theme tune of 'Milk's got a lotta bottle'.
