Joanna Lumley Hosting The Baftas

[vernonk]

How embarrassing is she? Cringes galore so far

[maggiebee]

Think she's a bit like marmite - love her or hate her. I'm in the latter category although the woman has done me no harm.

[vernonk]

No-one can accuse these awards of not being racially inclusive

[goodgoalie]

Yes, lots of cringes, and Ridley Scott's rambling is almost unintelligible. Is he slightly 'refreshed'? If not, he should have practised speaking out loud.

[Mamyalynne]

Well, I watched the final hour and enjoyed it - what a perfect choice for the Fellowship Award.

[Mamyalynne]

I heard every word, are your batteries flat?

[Caribeing]

Videod it and whizzed through the speeches agree Ridley Scott rambled too long and all this black dress stuff was glittered and patterned Joanna says she wasn’t wearing black think it was slate grey and how embarrassing for her when another actress appeared in a similar creation another load of luvvy dovey stuff!!

[ChillDoubt]

I thought she more than held her own and the benchmark set by Stephen Fry is a tough one to attain.
Fair play to her for stepping into the breach, I’m sure many would baulk at such a task.

[237SJ]

I quite like her. I think she is one of those women who has much more time for interacting with men than women

[Baldric]

Didn't watch the Prog. but I generally like JL as a presenter, she is a Professional.
I think, to be fair, the fact that she 'talks posh' upsets some who don't.

[Georgiesmum]

Why? What did she do?

[237SJ]

She ignored me but was all over my male colleague. Not that I care

[Georgiesmum]

Why did they say she was cringeworthy? What did she do? I didnt watch it.

[Mamyalynne]

Saw the final hour and she was fine to me anyway - don't know what cringes I missed nor have we been told.

[DeeLicious]

it was in the first section that she was really embarrassing, including that terrible kind of sketch at the start. Tumbleweed stuff. Most of the non-Brits in the audience wont have known who she was, yet she initially acted like it was all about her.

[JuniperEccles]

I've never understood why she is described as "beautiful" 'cos she's all teeth and gums although I hear she speaks well of me.

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, I can remember Tony Blackburn , years ago , saying he though she was very beautiful too.
