Family bond: Samantha with he

I also learnt at that point that Mum had secondary cancer including spots on her lungs. It was heartbreaking but we had to hope something could be done.'

Samantha, who is married to actor Alexander Hanson, 48, with whom she has two children, Molly, 17, and Tom, 16, found it hard to balance her work with being around to support her mother.

As a busy actress, she was committed to various jobs and shortly after Pat's chemotherapy began, she flew to New York to appear on Broadway with Dame Judi Dench.

'It was so hard. I'd told Judi about Mum when we had been filming GoldenEye together. But while we were in New York her husband Michael Williams was also diagnosed with lung cancer.

'So we lived through this horrible time together. There were phone calls and letters but as this was cancer the second time round, I had a feeling that it was unlikely that we were on course for a happy ending.

'That's why every opportunity to make something splendid was grabbed, including taking Mum to the Tony awards in New York. I still chuckle when I remember how she said to me as I smiled at all the photographers, "You are getting good at this."'

By Christmas 1999, the chemotherapy had finished. Although Pat remained characteristically optimistic, her children realised time might be limited, so the extended family did their best to make the most of it.

'She fought on, returning to work as a producer on The Bill - and did so until two weeks before she died. Physically she got weaker and weaker and used a wheelchair at work. She was so thin and had a terrible cough. She went in to hospital and was extremely confused. She passed away a few days later.

'I was shooting a television series called The Hunt at the time and just after she died had to do a dinner party scene where I had to keep laughing. I carried on only because my mother, the consummate professional, would have expected me to. I just made it known on set that I didn't want everyone being kind - I would have fallen apart.

'Adrian Lukis, who was playing my husband, had known Mum for years and was a tower of strength. His and Robert Glenister's love and understanding made the day possible.'

The hammer blow of her mother's diagnosis had long made Samantha rethink how she could protect herself from the disease.

'I took as much exercise as I could, walking everywhere and using the stairs rather than the lift. I had more fibre in my diet, swapping white bread for wholemeal.

'And I'd monitor myself constantly - keeping an eye out for any changes relating to my bowels. It was always a relief when the colonoscopy was clear, but the worry was there.'

Early symptoms of bowel cancer include blood in the stools,

ephews, grand-children or my own adult children are around me. I am a hugger and they all know they will get a hug from me. I also tell them "How much I Love Them", this way they have no doubt, if there ever was any. My Family has no doubt, the Bonds are there and will never be broken. When there is an issue to resolve, they all know they are free to call or stop by. We talk things out and we are always there for each other. Being "Bonded" does not mean you have to agree with everything each other does or says. We are all free to do as we chose. If someone in our family needs something, we do our best to pull together and help each other. In other words, we are there for each other. Who else do you go to when you need a little extra moral support. We all talk to our friends, but when the chips are down, it is family we turn to.

ut before that, one word of advice: Don't let passing trends get the better of you. Bridal trends do not change radically from season to season. Of course, we designers would like you to believe so. But, if you go with your gut and don't let the tiny ripples of fashion sway your resolve, you’ll have a fabulous look at your fantastic wedding - minus the fainting spell.

Having said that, here's a look at what's in trend this Bridal season.

For ceremonies such as the engagement, pale and pastel colours tend to be ideal. These include the likes of mint green, lilac, light olive, sunshine yellow, beige gold, icy blue and light rose. A sari with delicate sequin, bead and crystal embroidery all over the body and pallu will be a fittingly demure evening look. Or go for a wide-bordered and heavily-worked pallu with butis all over the body, giving a bold and classy look. Mokaish work - which is back in fashion now - on gauzy chiffon, is a subtle and classy alternative. The fully-flared kalidar kurta, cinched under the bust and grazing the knee, worn with a chudidar is really in vogue these days. For the fashion-conscious bride, a jodhpur-style chudidar teamed with a kalidar kurta and a skinny dupatta would be ideal for the cocktail night. Here, embellishments can vary from velvet appliqué embroidery to zardozi, to beaten zari work in the form of butis, stripes or florals for a formal evening look.

The mehendi ceremony calls for a colourful and bright lehenga choli ensemble, complete with stylised neckline, cap sleeves, doris and latkans to add to the bride’s charm. Colours such as turmeric, sage green, vermillion, cobalt blue, pink, peach, or saffron, and combinations thereof, are ideally suited to the mood of the event. Mirror-work combined with light sequin work would add a joyous and shimmering touch to the bride's attire. The multi-panel flared lehenga being an almost essential component of the look of the glowing bride - arms and legs bedecked with mehendi merrily dancing away to the sound of the dhol, surrounded by happy friends and family. On this occasion the bride’s comfort should be paramount. For example, the choli should have short or cap sleeves so as to be accommodating to the mehendi as it unfolds on the bride's palms. The lehenga should not be too heavy - it should be comfortable for the bride to sit while the mehendi is being applied, and later to carry herself once adorned. Embroidered net may be a pretty option for the lehenga and dupatta, while satin for the choli would add the right finishing touch.

Ombre dyeing is the in-thing for stylish saris and lehengas alike. Geometric florals, jewellery-inspired embellishments with pearls, stripes and diamond shapes are the new motifs for embroideries. Embellished jacquards and brocades are must-haves, while intricate gota embroidery is seeing a revival as well.

For the wedding, most often it is tradition that rules, and a demure lehenga in colours from peach to red, to deep pink, to maroon are called for. Embroidery must look rich, regal and intricate and the dupattas must be full with thick borders.
