Gail Harrison, (1951), is a British actress best known for playing Isobel Hardacre in Brass.
She first started appearing on TV at the start of The '70s. She had a notable role as Marian Wilks in Emmerdale over six years, and played smaller roles in The Nine Tailors, David Copperfield, North and South, and Rooms.
She joined the cast of Hi-de-Hi! in the second series after Penny Irving left the series. Harrison played Val, one of the Yellowcoats, but was reduced to mostly standing around in the background and occasionally getting a single line or two.
Harrison did not return for the third series of Hi-de-Hi!, instead getting a role as the nymphomaniac Isobel in Brass. Harrison remained with Brass for all three series. Later roles in Harrison's career were in episodes of Only Fools and Horses and The Les Dennis Laughter Show, and her final acting role came in the 1998 Made-for-TV Movie, The Things You Do for Love: I Still Believe.
