She also appeared in the short-lived sitcom ''Till Death...'' (1981), again playing Rita.
Stubbs featured in the Fawlty Towers episode ''The Anniversary''. She also played Rita a third time in a few episodes of the BBC sitcom ''In Sickness and in Health'' (1985-92).

She also had an ongoing role as Miss Bat in the TV series ''The Worst Witch'' and appeared in numerous UK TV shows such as ''Midsomer Murders'', ''Heartbeat'', ''Casualty'', ''Keeping up Appearances'' and as "Edith Pagett" in a TV version of Agatha Christie's ''
It was announced on May 22, 2006 that Stubbs would be appearing in ''EastEnders'', acting alongside her good friends Barbara Windsor and her ex-husband Nicky Henson, playing Caroline Bishop, the aunt of Honey Mitchell.
Stubbs has developed a new generation of fans with her appearances in ''The Catherine Tate Show'' playing various characters, for instance Carol-Anne, the scatty and indiscreet receptionist of Trudy and Ivan the wigmakers and a guild play director who unwittingly offends Derek Faye by casting him as the christmas fairy and assuming that he is a homosexual.
Stubbs married actor Nicky Henson in 1969, divorcing in 1975. They had two children: composer Christian Henson (born 25 December 1971), and musician/composer Joe Henson (born 18 September 1973).
For many years, Stubbs has sketched vignettes of the quirkier characters she sees around London, and has recently been persuaded to hold exhibitions at a small gallery near her Mayfair home.
