Maughan immediately went on to work with Elaine Stritch, playing the title role in "If You Knew Susie", which was part of the TV series "Dial M For Murder". This led to Alan Bennett asking her to appear alongside him at the Lyric Theatre in his original production of Habeas Corpus, playing Felicity Rumpers. She next worked with John Stride in the final series of Yorkshire Television's "The Main Chance", playing the Nordic Inge Lindstrom. David Mercer's controversial Huggy Bear with the infamous 'chocasms' scene was her next television venture.
