Dora Bryan: Brighton Belle
built 636 days ago
Dora and Bill's home is now in Brighton, a very large flat by the sea, right on the promenade. Every morning, after breakfast, when Dora is not on tour, she and Bill go for a walk with their little dog Lottie, a Tibetan terrier.

Dora was unable to travel on the Brighton Belle's last journey in April 1972 because she had been injured in a car accident. She said "to be part of this ceremony has made up for that".

Writer Alan Melville worked often with Bryan, sometimes appearing as her straight man, and their names are linked through many of her TV appearances. She starred in the first episode of The Brighton Belle (BBC1, January 1972), a three-part comedy/drama written by Melville to mark the demise of the famous train that had long shuttled commuting theatrical-types to London from the South Coast (Bryan lived in Brighton).
