Greenwood was described as "a model of generosity and tolerance...the only person in the cast who could not be 'corpsed' by Milligan; although he tried very hard. She looked beautiful, and played the part of Oblomov's unfortunate lady with total integrity. 'She never left the script', says Milligan with a guilty smile of something between irritation and admiration. 'I just couldn't make her crack up. All the rest of us did. She never lost her dignity for a moment.'"<ref name="ScudamoresMilliganbio">{{cite book |last=Scudamore |first=Pauline |title=Spike Milligan: A Biography |year=1985 |publisher=Granada |location=London |isbn=978-0-246-12275-9}} pp. 215–216.</ref>
