I found her awful in Marigold and couldn’t bear watching her it’s put me off her completely shame as perhaps I m missing a nicer side of her

Miriam is such a great character, i love anything she is in.
She has a naughty twinkle in her eye and you are never quite sure what she will say or do.

DH and I are really loving this series and I am really warming to her. She doesn’t play up to the camera and she says exactly what she thinks. Good for her.

I’m glad I started watching this although I didn’t like her in the Marigold series. She comes over as a very honest and thoughtful person and obviously intelligent.

..what was amazing [well, shocking] were the people who were worried about the possibility of a nuclear war but who voted for Trump. Then again, they had spent many years of their lives planning for such an eventuality so perhaps, deep down, they actually wanted it to happen confused.

Yes; I've been watching it and was moved to tears last night. I knew she was a far more complex character than her Marigold Hotel persona because of things I'd heard her speak about.

Well I thought this would be a bit of fun but it's turned out to be quite a moving and thought provoking documentary. She's certainly very brave and honest with herself but also with the people that she met. She's also surprisingly tactful considering her own very pronounced views. Am looking forward to next week's programme.
