Gail Grainger (born 17 September 1950) is an English actress best remembered for her role as Moira Plunkett, a travel courier, in the 1972 comedy film Carry On Abroad.
She had television roles in her teens in the BBC's production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Iolanthe and in ATV's soap opera Crossroads.
[3] The couriers led a party that included Sid James, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor, June Whitfield, Sally Geeson, Carol Hawkins and Bernard Bresslaw on a weekend trip to the Spanish holiday resort of Elsbels.
Her phlegmatic and slightly bemused approach to a series of disastrous situations culminated in her extricating the party from a foreign jail by making advances to the local police chief.
[4] She subsequently appeared with Leslie Phillips, and under his direction, in Joyce Rayburn's comedy The Man Most Likely To ..., both at the Duke of York's Theatre in London and on a world tour.
