In January 2002 Doreen appeared on a 'Classic British Sitcom Stars' special of TV quiz 'The Weakest Link'. When asked by host Anne Robinson what her most memorable moment was on the crazy sitcom 'One Foot in the Grave' Doreen replied very matter-of-factly: 'I was rolled down a hill and mounted by a dog'. The studio audience erupted in hysterics.
