Polly Sherman

Notably, in "The Kipper and the Corpse", after being bitten by the dog of an elderly guest, she laced its sausages with hot pepper, tabasco sauce and chilli powder, giving it a nasty stomach ache.

In "Basil the Rat", she attempts to get a man to purchase a painting she made, including lying that "It's for my sister's eye operation"; when he declines, she says "You bastard."

In "The Wedding Party", after Basil complains about her leaving a life drawing sketchbook lying around, he flicks through it and absentmindedly answers the phone "Hello, Fawlty Titties?"

[2] He credits Booth's performance in a scene of "The Anniversary", where she argues with Basil over his plan for Polly to impersonate Sybil in order to save his embarrassment, as "marvellous":[2] "Waitress"?!

I help out at reception, I clean the rooms, I deal with the tradesmen, I mend the switchboard, I change the fuses, and if you think my duties now include impersonating members of your family, you have got one more screw loose than I thought!"
