HEARTBEAT- Appearance by LuluThe Man with the Golden Gun singer Lulu, has plenty to Shout about - she made a rare acting appearance as a 60's singer in an episode of Heartbeat in November 2002 (series 12) , and performed her hit song To Sir With Love.
Lulu, 53, played singer-songwriter
Deborah Vine -
who is the cousin of Sgt Dennis Merton
(Duncan Bell). Her character arrives in Aidensfield to enjoy some peace, while she concentrates on her work. But she
soon faces several traumas in the ITV drama.
An ITV1 spokesman said: "It is a real coup for the show.
Lulu performs her hit
To Sir With Love in the episode and her character faces several
traumas." The Heartbeat
cast welcomed Lulu
with open arms. Tricia Penrose, who plays barmaid Gina Ward, said: "It was fantastic
working with her as I'd just done her Audience With
Lulu a few days before
we filmed her episode." Duncan Bell, who plays Sgt Merton, added: "She was fantastic. It was
great to know that po-faced old Merton has showbusiness in the
family!" The singer, best known for hits such as Shout, made the film To Sir
With Love in the '60s, was Adrian Mole's mum in the ITV series from 1987
and was in Whatever Happened To Harold Smith? in 1999 with Tom
Courtenay. Lulu's part in Heartbeat is all action as her character and her pregnant daughter find themselves at the mercy of a dangerous crook who's on the run." photographs (c) J Penney & R .Sykes
