She looked great and I am quite envious of her teeth

Yes, JB looked great.
Yes, I, too, was glad Ian got applause.
We always wonder how points are awarded, but we love HIGNFY.

Age Well.

Joan Bakewell was very good looking in her younger years and has the sort of features and hair that she well.I thought she looked great on HIGNFY.

Jane71 Sun 29-May-22 16:41:21

There is hope for us all yet.

Joseanne Sun 29-May-22 16:36:42

Thank you.
I can't remember her with glasses before? But those tortoiseshell ones make her look both intelligent and attractive.

Joan Bakewell looked very unlike herself, I thought. I didn’t recognise her at first.

I thought she looked even better than in her younger days with a softer hairstyle.
Fat chance that I’ll look as amazing at 89.

That's the power of a photograph Esspee. Without an image to check on, it is difficult to make a comment.

Sad that the look of Helen Mirren on Friday attracts so many comments while the amazing appearance of 89 year old Joan Bakewell doesn’t.
As women why are we so keen to criticise other women?

Made the same comment to each other here to each other, incredible.

It was a tie yesterday but why does Paul Merton always win? Ian Hislop always takes it well but must get fed up sometimes.
Hadn’t realised JBs age, she looks and sounds so much younger.

Lucca Sat 28-May-22 08:12:44

Glad Ian hislop got round of applause.

Yes JB looked good and spoke well too

lemsip Sat 28-May-22 08:08:24

and she still has that strong voice when she speaks, the power behind the voice!

Esspee Fri 27-May-22 23:08:29

Yes, now you mention it she was known as the thinking man’s crumpet JenniferEccles.
She looked even better tonight than she did in her younger days.
I normally wouldn’t comment about a woman’s appearance but with so many of us approaching old age seeing her as intelligent and more beautiful at 89 must give us hope.

I said exactly the same to my husband.
Was it Joan Bakewell who was described as ‘the thinking man’s crumpet’ ?

Yes.

Agreed!

VickyB Fri 27-May-22 22:45:17

Yes I thought she looked fab.

Esspee Fri 27-May-22 22:43:59

Does anyone else think that Joan Bakewell looked absolutely amazing for her age on this week’s programme?

She is 89. I know women in their sixties who look older than she does.
