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!

3nanny6 - I also hate the "C" word and also laughed at her use of it!!
I enjoyed the programme & like I Kathy, she does have an amazing ability to connect with all sorts of people. She is clearly very contented with her life, which is an example to us all.
I like her definition of "rich"- being able to pay your bills, have food on the table, clothes to wear and something in the bank. This was pretty much the attitude of my father when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s.
I was bemused by the young people making lots of money by posting tic-toc videos on-line, not really sure what that is all about. I am fully aware that I have made myself sound very old but I cannot comprehend this habit of posting videos and selfies to share with the world!

Agree with everyone else. Shes great, and as
someone who drops the occasional F-bomb myself, I didnt find it offensive ( although I do in some programmes?). She seems to fit in everywhere with anyone. And totally happy in her own skin. Look forward to next week and hope we see more of her in this capacity.

I watched it. I applaud her ethos regarding money. I’ve also wondered why there is this perpetual want for more and more money. After all......you can’t take it with you, it creates jealousy in others, you can only drive one car at a time..... the more possessions one has the more room needed for them, the more they need looking after. Money won’t create security, in fact it can create greater feelings of insecurity. It is my belief that the search for happiness, peace, and so forth is the better route.

Oh yes Sarnia She was great as Waynetta too. I'm not sure which channel was repeating Gimme Gimme Gimme recently.
Unfortunately it has finished now

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Hello Chrissy welcome

muse Tue 06-Jul-21 14:32:44

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 ?

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

Thanks Chrissy, the original poster said it was on Channel 5 hence I could not find it ?

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.

Hi JaneJudge ?‍♀️.

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

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

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

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

JaneJudge Tue 06-Jul-21 12:03:37
