Patsy Byrne (born 13 July 1933 in Ashford, Kent, England, UK) is an English actress. Patsy is famous for playing round, jolly, often slightly insane old women. Probably the most famous of these is Nursie in the popular BBC sitcom Blackadder II. She once again starred alongside Tony Robinson in a Series 3 episode of Maid Marian and her Merry Men. She also starred as Betty the Tea Lady in the BBC children's programme Playdays. She is also famous for being able to do the splits well into her 60s, which she showed off when she played Malcolm's domineering mother in the British television sitcom Watching. Yeah baby!
