Did anyone hear her on Today Prog Radio 4 this am?

Farzanah Sat 15-Oct-22 11:03:41

She’s certainly trending on Twitter.

FannyCornforth Sat 15-Oct-22 11:03:49

No. What did she say then?

Fleurpepper Sat 15-Oct-22 11:04:31

She told Hunt what she thinks of him!

Chestnut Sat 15-Oct-22 11:05:33

What do you think she said? The usual.....swear words!

MayBee70 Sat 15-Oct-22 11:06:31

Legend!

FannyCornforth Sat 15-Oct-22 11:06:56

Oh yes, I’ve just looked it up.
She said she wanted to call him ‘a fucking bastard’

Aldom Sat 15-Oct-22 11:11:10

Ah! I wondered what that was about! I came into the room with the radio on and lots of people, almost shouting, all at the same time. Then Miriam was ushered out of the studio grin

Farzanah Sat 15-Oct-22 11:13:37

She actually spoke to Jeremy Hunt before she came on and said to him that he had a helluva job. She then said on air, what she wanted to say to him was F**k you. This sent the presenters into a panic.

She's not a legend, she's an attention-seeking old bag. Her way of getting noticed is to be as rude and obscene as possible.

FannyCornforth Sat 15-Oct-22 11:21:53

Margolyes should have told Hunt what she thought of him there and then, instead of showing off on air.

I’m not a fan of hers, to be honest (I’m sure that she speaks very highly of me wink)

The Today lot should be grateful that she didn’t flash her breasts or fart

No I didn’t, but going by other peoples comments I guess as usual she’s very rude. I’ve seen her on the real marigold hotel and her own travel programme, she does have some nice ways about her but it’s a shame with her language and her farting through the show, rude.

This!

Farzanah Sat 15-Oct-22 11:26:37

I don’t know why they were surprised because she’s bound to be risky live. Made her well loved on Twitter today tho.

So unlike the home life of our own dear Queen!

Oh wait, that doesn't work any more, does it? ??

More power to her. Not fond of the farting though....

FannyCornforth Sat 15-Oct-22 11:30:02

It could be a lot worse.
I know that several broadcasters are very jumpy about getting Jeremy’s name wrong.
A Freudian mispronounciation

Or drop her knickers and moon at Mr Hunt. They really took a risk having her on at all.

Margolyes has been exactly as she is now since a very young girl/woman.

She appears to have been a very much loved but spoilt daughter, who got away with too much?

But she has some very good redeeming features.

She is extraordinarily kind and thoughtful. She has a very wide circle of friends, which I think shows that she isn’t quite so bad as some posts make her out to be. Her success as an actor shows a real ability, and her intelligence (Cambridge alumna) gives her a wit and real thoughtfulness.

Her language is extremely ripe, and her Anglo-Saxon behaviour shocks, but I would not condemn her.

Farzanah Sat 15-Oct-22 11:39:00

She may not conform to society niceties but seems to have caught the mood of the nation just now, and why can’t old women behave disgracefully now and then, they’ve been keep in boxes for long enough?

Chestnut Sat 15-Oct-22 11:49:19

She may be kind and clever, but her behaviour in public is purely attention-seeking. Don't forget she is a very good actress. She is acting the part of MM and you can see it in her body language and expressions. It reminds me of the child who wants to perform in front of adults to get applause.

Farzanah Sat 15-Oct-22 11:52:06

At the end of the day we are all “acting a part” in this life Chestnut.

MerylStreep Sat 15-Oct-22 11:57:06

She always looks as if she needs a good scrub.

MayBee70 Sat 15-Oct-22 12:02:20

I was channel hopping a while back and saw a one woman show that she did and her memory and energy amazed me. She says she dislikes children but in the tv series that she makes (eg the one about Australia) she often talks to children and has a wonderful rapport with them.

It did make me smile.
