Who Is/Was The British Actress? And What Was The British Film/Drama

[Cmitchell]

In the 70s or 80s I remember seeing a film/drama about a woman who wanted to murder someone. She had planned to use laburnum seeds. In the end SHE died. I think she had suffocated or similar in some underground bunker/air raid shelter. The whole story was absolutely gripping (I must have been a small child or a teenager at the time and I'm in my early 50s now.  I can see the main character's face. She was a British actress, she always had long black/dark brown hair even into her older years, I think she always wore it down or in a ponytail (but I might be wrong about this). Also I seem to think this actress had a bit of a high pitched voice (but again I might be incorrect here too).

what was the drama/film? And who was the actress? I'd love to know.

I bet you are right, Ellie.  Diana Rigg didn't die in a bunker but was in a prison cell
