TV lesbians of the 80's

Continuing with our 80's adventure, here's some TV stars of the age we speculate could have been moved to the dark side....

Christine Cagney, Cagney & Lacey

Not actually stated to be a lesbian but was hard-nosed, single and drank too much so all the signs are there.

Bev ‘The Butcher’ Baker, Prisoner Cell Block H

Could have chosen any of the cast really but we like Bev the Butcher the most. Died from using a hypodermic needle full of air. A sad end for this brilliant criminal mastermind.

Elsye Keaton, Family Ties

Real life lesbian (shocker) Meredith Baxter played the part of a liberal hippy in US show Family Ties. Damn hippies.

‘Quaint’ Irene, Mapp & Lucia

Boho artist who dressed like an Eton school boy and lived with her maid. Rode a motorbike. Socialist

Cecily Meldrum, You Rang m’Lord

Liked to wear men’s clothes and play sports. Always hanging around with her ‘chum’ Penelope. Also a socialist.

Dotty, The Raggy Dolls

Bossy, artistic, liked dungarees

Mrs Dingle, Camberwick Green

Very prim and repressed. Liked rules, the postal service and dogs

Penfold, Danger Mouse

Definitely a lesbian in disguise. Didn’t fool us

Coach Katrina, Galaxy High

You wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of this centaur

Melanie and Martina The Twins, Fun House

Only in the 80's for a year but worth a mention because we all wished it...come on, you know you did.
