Les: An' we all know why that is don't we? Too much "Trumpet Polishin'"

Question: What happened to Marrion from the first series? She wasn't seen or mentioned in series two.
Answer: She's not in it. There is a woman called Joyce, who could be seen as a replacement, but she has a much smaller part. I haven't heard why this happened.
