Did anyone view this Channel 4 programme...i thoroughly enjoyed it but am not a fan of the F word which i know lots of people use in their daily conversations...think there is a part 2 which i will look forward too as she does make me smile and its what i/we need at the moment!

I like Kathy Burke. She did a series a while ago about the beauty business. She is happy in her own skin and good for her. Her face spoke volumes when she came across women who spent huge amounts of money on Botox, plastic surgery, hair extensions etc. I am recording this programme.

We watched this. I love Kathy Burke. She is always non judgemental. We've been watching repeats of Gimme Gimme Gimme. She is hilarious in that. I don't know how they get away with showing it in these politically correct times but it's very funny.

Gimme Gimme Gimme is outrageous grin I also love Kathy Burke.

I like Kathy Burke her down to earth approach its what I appreciate in a person. I have recorded this programme it looks interesting and watchable.

Hello Chrissyoh smile

Shinamae Tue 06-Jul-21 12:16:15

I have just been searching for it on my five I can’t find it ?

TrendyNannie6 Tue 06-Jul-21 12:24:46

I love Kathy Burke always blunt and to the point, much rather someone like that anyway, telling it how she sees fit, she’s happy in her own skin which is great

Chrissyoh Tue 06-Jul-21 12:27:35

Hi JaneJudge ?‍♀️.

Shinamae - it was on Channel 4 - last night ?.

I love Kathy Burke she is down to earth and hilariously funny.
I look forward to next weeks instalment and seeing what it will be about.

I found her using the F word funny mainly because she is one person that can carry it off and get away with it.
We seen Boris telling us that he is doing away with face masks and social distancing from 19th June .
Completely nothing to do with that but Kathy was talking about how many Twitter followers she has and in her calm and down to earth way she suddenly said "Every month or so
I call Boris Johnson a C**t " and my followers always increase.
I nearly fell off the sofa laughing and my dogs were unsure what was going on.
It is a word I do not use or even like but Kathy once again carried it off. The programme was brilliant from start to finish.

No problem…?

JaneJudge Tue 06-Jul-21 14:09:57

I've just watched episode 1 and episode 2 is on all 4 now too, so i'm watching that now. She is very good, people really open up to her dont they? and everyone episode 1 came across really well

by we are self isolating so I appear to have used it as an excuse to watch telly blush

I love all she’s done and all she is. Gimme gimme gimme is hilarious.

She’s like Billy Connolly, in that she uses such language effectively. Love him too.

Welcome and hello ChrissyOh ?

Redhead56 Tue 06-Jul-21 14:38:12

Hello Chrissy welcome

I love Kathy Burke. I had to give GS1 and two of his friends a lift home yesterday and was immediately reminded of Perry. "That's a nice dress Mrs. Patterson, is it new?" I swear I had him in the back seat grin She's such a good actress in serious stuff too.

Blondiescot Tue 06-Jul-21 14:59:19

I love Kathy - she's fabulous. Yes, she's blunt and to the point, but she comes across as genuinely interested in people and caring. As someone else has said, her series on beauty was really good. She seems to have that knack of being able to connect with people at all levels and, again, as someone else pointed out, in a non-judgemental way.

JaneJudge Tue 06-Jul-21 15:17:45

All 4 is now making me watch her series all woman? grin

Chrissyoh Tue 06-Jul-21 17:25:18

Thank you for the hello & welcomes ?.
I’m enjoying reading all the different forums !

Thanks for mentioning Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. I will try to find that. When Kathy played Waynetta Slob she had some non pc lines to say but nobody made a fuss about it then. I remember her saying to Harry Enfield who played Wayne Slob that she wanted a brahn baby like all the other muvvers on the estate. Hilarious.

I watched this program it was so real
when Cathy said f…. aduck while bumping around on the pony and trap she made me laugh I haven’t heard that expression in many a long time she was able to mix comfortably with people from all walks of life hope I can see her again in the next program

Love Kathy Burke she's a great actor but seems to have slipped into the role of presenter and interviewer very easily. She seems genuinely interested in people and she's never judgemental. Her swearing is so natural it's completely inoffensive.

I love Kathy Burke,she`s down to earth and a natural actress.
I watched her at an awards ceremony,when she received an award her thank you speech was hillarious.
