[edit] Career
Fielding began her acting career in 1954, concentrating on stage theatrical productions. She had occasional guest appearances in television programmes such as The Avengers (after being passed over as Patrick Macnee's regular partner in favour of Honor Blackman) and in Danger Man.
She was the uncredited voice of The Village's announcements in The Prisoner, and co-starred with Tom Poston and Robert Morley in the 1963 version of The Old Dark House. In the film Dougal and the Blue Cat, based on The Magic Roundabout, she voiced the character of the Blue Voice — referred to as "Madam" by both Buxton (the blue cat of the title) and Dougal at various stages throughout the film.
She has also played the voice of 'MOOD', a quirky supercomputer in the video game Martian Gothic in a script written by science fiction author Stephen Marley. Since 2000 she has been recording with the book publishing and recording company, Savoy. Her work with them includes readings of Colette, J. G. Ballard's Crash and T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets. She also made an album of cover songs including Robbie Williams' Angels, Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out Of My Head, New Order's Blue Monday and the White Stripes' Passive Manipulation.
