The Real Marigold Hotel ..

[Elina]

Loved the first episode. Getting slightly annoyed with Miriam Margolyes ... she seems to want everything her way. I think she will find it hard to mix as time goes on. Quote .. '' I do fart, they'll have to accept that. It's just one of those things, I'll always say that I'm going to, but if they say .. I can't bare that .. I will just do a fingers up ..

Hard to believe she is the Cadbury Caramel voice :)

[Elina]

Ha ha hc! Just realised Trt has already posted a thread about the programme!

Awful....err....woman. Couldn't bear to think about washing up or doing housework. Lazy selfish individual.

[Elina]

I think she's been too long on her own retro .. and has had the money to employ a cleaner & such .. I can understand kind of how she would find it kind of hard ... but still ... you'd think she'd make a tiny effort!

[Elina]

Who's your favourite celeb in there? I love Wayne!

[Cloverjo]

I haven't seen this. I'm not in the UK right now. What is it - a kind of Big Brother for "proper celebs"? Who else is in it?
I like MM as an actress, but I find her quite annoying when she's on chat shows.

She's in the privileged position of being able to afford for someone to do her housework .She's achieved this through hard work and she's now 74 and has arthritis.Fair play to her.
I'm dogged by severe arthritis and am a few years younger .If I had the money I wouldn't be doing any housework either :)
Bobby George is my favourite ,nice chap.I played darts against him many moons ago for charity .I lost ..hahaa.He was lovely.

[Elina]

Shaney, that's a point! Actually .. Bobby does seem a real gent. I loved the way he looked after Miriam when she went looking for the loo.

[Cloverjo]

Thanks, Elina.
Patty Boulaye! There's a blast from the past. I remember her from back in the 70s, but have no idea what she did.

The lovely, kind and genuine Bobby is my favourite.

[Elina]

Yes he's a proper gent Nellie!

Elina....MM too long on her own? "She became an Australian citizen in 2013, like her partner of 46 years, Heather...".....article in last week's Radio Times.

On the first episode's showing I fully expect the lovely Hindus to treat MM as sacred.

[hellywelly4]

She's the reason I haven't watched it. She really irritates me (perhaps because she's younger than me!).

[netibiza]

I really am enjoying it, but don't much like Miriam Margoles, but do like her voice and some of her comments. Would love to be included in that group. I find Jan Leeming very twee and boring.

[NellieMay]

Don't like MM at all! She's too crude and in ya face!!

[Elina]

ginge ... Yes sorry .. I meant to return to this thread and forgot! It was something she'd said in the first episode that made me think she lived alone.
