BAFTAs Is Joanna Lumley really the best we can do?

Yes Stephen Fry or Sandi Toksvig please.
Joanna Lumley always looks as if she has someone else's teeth in - like - was it Dick Emery's vicar.
Never understood her appeal.

Well, I am going to defend Joanna here. She's a lovely lady, i.m.h.o. But I have to admit she was a bit underwhelming at the Baftas. Bring on Jo Brand! Or bring back Stephen Fry!

I assume the script was written for her but she was very sycophantic.

I think she has become a victim of her own success and because of that is like a fish out of water. I feel sorry for the woman that she actually is and the persona that she has been made to accept as opposed to the real actress that she undoubtedly is. I know what I mean but not sure anyone else will understand........

Oh. I thought she did all right. I’m not a big fan usually, but I said to DH yesterday that I had to admit that she suited this sort of role. I think she looks very good, even without adding “for her age”, but wouldn’t criticise anyone on the basis of their looks!

She certaintly needs to find a scipt writer

She was awful (in my opinion).

Cherry naughty step now please x

Was a JL just a safe, relatively inoffensive choice? We’re so afraid to offend anyone .

I thought of Jo Brand as well, but then thought she.might just be so sarcastic it would offend people. There are witty and clever women who would do the job so much better.

What an embarrassment ! Yes, Sandi Toksvig would have been ideal or for a livelier presentation, Jo Brand to show them all up.

Didn't watch the BAFTAs, liked her in AbFab
She campaigned on behalf of the Gurkhas .

Annie She gave an interview to the Radio Times and although she didn't say which way voted, she did say she was supportive of those who voted to leave the EU.
Whoops mentioned Brexit

I can’t watch these award shows they are all so false and over the top with ridiculous speeches not a down to earth person amongst them

Sadly I think she may be stuck in her Abfab persona, which is a shame because she is a very intelligent capable person.

She irritates me

I do not watch anything with JL in it because I can't stand the woman!
She may be a perfectly nice person to know but the JL we see on tv is not my cup of tea. Her huge mouth and horse like teeth are in my opinion ugly and not nice to see on tv. I just don't see the attraction of her looks or her acting or presenting skills.
