The bubbly Latino bombshell that Clive James unleashed on our screens in the 1980s is a woman after my own heart, in the tradition of Carmen Miranda but without the fruit - or the talent. But she makes up in exhuberance what she lacks in teeth, and her unique take on classic hits almost managed to eclipse their originators - as we see here with Liza Minnelli. This blows Rita Moreno's "I like to be in America" straight out of the water.
Daphne Wayne-Bough is a composite of many women who have inspired her creator. Here are Les Grandes Dames who are all facets of the wonder in a flowery dress that is Daphne.
