What? Come on now, that's ridiculous. Lock her up for her own good shall we, because she doesn't conform to what we think a "nice old lady" should be?

I really hope that as I grow older I am never put in the nice little old lady box.

I intend to grow old disgracefully

You and me both! Growing old disgracefully is definitely the way to go!

I'm surprised she didn't say it to his face.

I think she’s a revolting, foul mouthed woman.

So she swore on R4 and the verdict is
always looks as though she needs a good scrub and
possibly has serious mental health issues

Dear me.

Not a fan either - I suppose she needs to earn a crust.

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.

This!
And such a shame. She appears on Miss Fisher Mysteries and does a good job there as an actress. Her attention seeking is the same as Eddie Izard-attention seeking, maybe to revive a fading career.

She is. And she looks on the world in the way that children do and sees things as they really are.

I’m not really surprised she gets on well with children Maybee as I think she is kind of a child herself. I really enjoyed her book about her life. She seemed to be quite needy at times. always asking her peers if they liked her. She definitely has a potty mouth but I suppose there are worse things you can be.

Her autobiography is erm ......
interesting.

I like her honesty.

and why should we be polite to a man who caused so much misery?

When I am old I shall wear purple

completely agree, I find her absolutely repulsive

Whoever booked her for this live radio show knew what to expect, and they got it.

Well said, I also think she possibly has serious mental health issues and is being exploited by the media. I avoid watching or listening to her now, which is a pity as I used to enjoy her acting on radio comedy and drama series but no more.

They knew what she is like when they booked her. Her salty language is well known. I can't be bothered with their faux outrage.

Yes I heard it. The presenters coukdnt stop apologising, but MM is well known fir her language. Thing is we hear it on tv bc BBC all the time without apology so wondering what the difference is.

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

Well I'm not acting a part. Many actors and performers have a character that they become when they go on stage or in front of the camera. This is what MM does when she becomes that foul mouthed creature. She obviously has other parts for other programmes.

Well, I for one love her - she is what she is and makes no apologies for it. If I'd have been in her shoes, I'm not sure I'd have been able to resist a bit of rhyming slang when it came to describing Mr H!

It did make me smile.

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.

She always looks as if she needs a good scrub.

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.
