HIGNFY - Sheila Hancock

I missed the programme, but while I admire Sheila Hancock as an actress and personality I do not share her views about politics.

Same here easybee
I saw Sheila Hancock being interviewed by Jenni Murray years ago in a Manchester theatre. She was very entertaining but of a very leftish persuasion and so I can completely understand why her views would chime with some on here!

I like her. She is good actress and her political views don't matter. She is doing well at 94.

I found her very irritating on HIGNFY last night. I felt the others were just being polite and she was allowed to go on too long. I actually felt like switching off.

The programme is edited so blame the editor

I do. Plus the MC deferring to her old age too much.

As an entertainer (very amusing she can be too) she does tend to bang on a bit reminding her audience of her lefty views. It did get a tad wearisome after paying good money to be given a party political broadcast although my companion (very left viewpoint too!) lapped it up and clapped enthusiastically many times …. 😁

I’m with you Aveline, I thought they patronised her instead of challenging her very leftist views.

I thought she had died years ago as I haven’t heard anything about her for ages.
I just never really liked what I read about her, mostly her own words, and truly can’t remember her acting.

I thought she was brilliant, such good light relief after such a depressing day!
