Hetty Wainthrop in Hetty Wainthrop Investigates
In interviews writer/creator of that series *created* HW out of a composite of a group of "northern women that I knew".... What emerged is a bossy no nonsense woman who wasn't quite a battle axe, but likely could help out if there was a rush.
The character appealed to PR because she felt it was a 360 degree turn from Hyacinth Bucket. You'd *NEVER* get Hyacinth on the back of a motor bike, but Hetty has no problems.
