If I remember correctly also a bonus of Frank Thorton (“Are you being Served”)as the Major General?! WHAT a treat all around!

Her real name was Sarah Ann Isaac, which although some seem to think is a Jewish surname I can affirm that it is not. How do I know? – because she was a relative of mine. Please correct your narrative.
