I listened to the podcast. Marvellous!! Thanks so much for putting me onto this. I loved it.?

I think John Bishop is a really good bloke - as OldMeg said made a lot of money for charity (and not in an easy way either - bike riding etc for 290 miles in 5 days!!).
Sorry I can not stand MM - she is uncouth and vulgar so won't be watching the programme.
My husband is the same Liz56 if I am watching stuff he doesn't like - makes me bl**dy cross angry

I enjoyed it too. JB is someone I like and, although there are aspects of MM I'm not keen on, I think she is very talented and she came over as a compassionate and interesting woman on this programme.

Sometimes I enjoy her work and sometimes I really don't!

Thanks phoenix and Squiffy. I also find MM rather coarse and offensive but listened anyway and found it funny. I am only halfway through as my OH came downstairs and made faces until I switched it off so I'll listen to the rest later. Who would have thought that JB and MM would make such a good programme - chalk and cheese!

I shall certainly watch it. Really like MM. thanks for link Squiffy

John Bishop raised £3.4 million for charity.

Something about her that I can't stand. Very fond of her own opinions.

Thanks Phoenix, I will catch up with this.

Her public persona is very coarse and unpleasant. However I saw another side of her at a funeral of a good friend, when she gave the eulogy. They had enjoyed a long friendship, and she came across as a warm, loving person. I think she puts on a bit of an act for the cameras!

Thanks so much Squiffy that was lovely I really really enjoyed that
Miriam is so much more than a coarse woman , but no one is forced to listen

Beau Sun 15-Jul-18 06:17:15

Don't think so - dreadful, coarse rude woman and I can't stand him either.

Damn, can't find it listed in the Radio Times, wondering if it was change of schedule?

Sorry not to be able to help, but see if you can track it down, I think the series is called "John Bishop in conversation with...."

What channel please phoenix ? Will try to get it on catch up sometime next week.

phoenix Sat 14-Jul-18 22:48:41

Especially when she talks about "coming out" to her parents.

phoenix Sat 14-Jul-18 22:46:35

On TV tonight, amazing interview, so much insight, compassion.

Please find the time to watch it on catch up.
