that film was actually dreadful haha

Amy Whittaker the guy next to her was in it

Gina Greenlee, I know, right? =)

But shes right. It was the most cringe thing ive ever seen

She’s killed the host

+tubeman123100 She lives in Australia, so they'd have to bring the show to her, I reckon.

they could co-host? "The Norton Margoyles Show" 10/10 I'd watch that haha

+tubeman123100 She's on tonight! :D

naw she's funnier in smaller doses. to have her say every film is terrible would ruin her bit. and yes, as authentic as she seems, she's probably just having a bit of fun insulting everyone

I agree!

She's so sweet

I'm not sure if that is true, but the way it was meant means everything

@@TheDRMISTERY why?

TCt83067695 watch the whole interview, Lilly Allen was incredibly rude and her behaviour towards Miriam was embarrassing. I think her ego was bruised when Miriam didn’t know who she was so she just acted like a spoiled 10 year old for the rest of the episode. I liked her music but after seeing her behaviour on this episode I’m not a fan.

@@charliebear154 wow. That's interesting. Thks for the info 👍🏾

Finally someone said it publicly!

Still is

She’s correct

I DIE every time. 🤣

As far as plot, acting, and general watchability from a non fans pov it is awful

+Gábor Vág YES.

+Gábor Vág Love Miriam, hate Emma.

Go home.

SonOfEire3 I am sitting at home, thank you.

SonOfEire3 "I think I saw you in I am Legend. And I can't remember you..." :D

Judge her on what she says and does and don't give her any leeway because of her age or gender- that would be ageist and sexist. Her most recent high profile statement is that she says she thinks the British PM should be castrated. If a male actor said the equivalent about Jacinda Ardern or Angela Merkel they would never work again. But in our strange woke world Miriam has a free pass. She is really just a very, very unpleasant woman.

@@catinthehat906 it's not because of wokeness lol, it's literally just like what the comment said, it's specific to her because she's just likeable and gets away with stuff in ways that other old men OR women couldn't

@@lizziesalusbury9774 Come on that must be the most pathetic justification that I have ever heard. So in your view because Miriam is "likeable" in your view (a highly subjective quality), she can break the law with impunity?

@@catinthehat906 I don't rlly care either way if she does, im just explaining to u why she gets away w it. And sure I enjoy it! Also I think ur forgetting that these rules u seem to be going by are consistently broken- the PM himself is forgiven consistently on the basis of him being a loveable fool! So I don't rlly see how ur argument stands

@@lizziesalusbury9774 I haven't heard Boris demanding Miriam's uterus is ripped out, nor any other male actors or comedians. Have I been missing something?

@@jon8004 I've worked with her on a project. What you see on this chat show is what she's like in person. Brutally honest with no malice intended (unless she intends). I adored spending time with her, her story telling is unlike anyone I have ever met and she is a very caring, generous old soul.

@@jon8004 no she just has no filter, some people are like this, they don't intend to be rude and she's just being honest, it's like Carl Pilkington it's not an act, he is that boring and funny af at the same time, Graham Norton is known for deliberately bringing her on because it upsets the BBC and he likes that. Also they are close friends, but Margoles isn't rude she's honest, it's better then people pretending they like shit when they don't.

No, she is clearly performing@@Emberchariot

​@@aktchungrabanio6467 peforming what? Some of you can't stand brutal honesty.

There's a big difference between being brutally honest and doing it for the laughs, as Miriam clearly does in every appearance@@notthefather3919

It really is terrible. For one thing, Pierce Brosnan can’t sing.

I hate ABBA, so I've never seen it, but I imagine Miriam is spot on. History Boys is a good movie though.

@@uniquerebeljaney3639 The musical was a lot of fun. The movie is terrible.

@@uniquerebeljaney3639 I love ABBA but that was a dreadful film

@@chuckychuck8318 AMEN! I am with you!

honestly he is so underrated. Fantastic host.

Make no mistake, Graham is like a rocket with a warp drive when it comes to quick responses. There's at least 30-40 eposodes where his funny under the breath responses are the funniest thing said, bit itntends to get drowned out by the guests. And he's just large enough to not care. Hes not like all the American ones where they need to be heard and seen as funny.. Theres no talk show host that can beat him or even come near him in that regard..

He’s always been a comedic actor, even before he moved to the UK. He was a comedy actor back in his home country Ireland

That's what I thought. He manages to keep the conversation going even after something that was said which could make it all very awkward (That was a dreadful film)

Plant lady...lol.. She played Professor Sprout, head of Hufflepuff House..

she also did a memorable few performances in the 80s sitcom blackadder

@@thehydronator3021 that's not a sitcom, that's a documentary

@ayy I know..I didn't say that with any malice :)

Nerds

lol such legend >.

+Alwaysbusking she was in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets if you've seen it? But her natural way of making people laugh is definitely NOT in that film :P

+Alwaysbusking She voiced/dubbed the Princess in the Monkey TV series. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_%28TV_series%29

You actually might know who she is. She was Professor Sprout in Harry Potter. :)

I only know her from Blackadder. She playerd Queen Victoria in the Christmas Special and the holier than thou Lady Whiteadder in season two, among others.

Alwaysbusking The first time I saw Miriam was in Ed and his Dead Mother- Now, the movie had its plus and minuses, (a dark comedy, yes, very dark)- and it sort of looses its way at the end, but Miriam was fabulous! I couldn't believe I had never seen her before! But, I must say, the best performances of hers are on the GNS! She never disappoints! What a treasure!

That’s because she’s British and not American.

Course you don't

You must know Lilly Allen surely , remember , she apologized to the refugees in France on your behalf 😂

He knows, he's just trying to be 'edgy'.

I don't know the guy so I was with her there, and I only know a few lily allen songs

Exactly

+Nerdtrap fvcking hell are you kidding. she looks at least 20 years younger. what's her secret???!?

+pennydesouza Sex

72????? She's 72????

She really is 72... well... almost 75 now, this is a couple years old.

Nerdtrap exactly omg

Mainstream simple as that

Most working actors don’t have time to act watch things. They’re very out of touch due to long days

Nah she's not that complicated

She probably wanted to say "the plebs" but even she stopped herself from being that rude.

Code for not choosy. Film as candy. Sure.

DearMakeUpDiary momma mia was actually made with the idea of it being how the world sings abba songs. Lets face it the film was bad karaoke, getting dressed up in the gear and taking the piss out of ourselves. I love the film because of those reasons. It wasnt all excellent singers but bad karaoke that made it more enjoyable and true to life

Beverley Gannon stop trying... it was shocking

A film about a slapper, the local bike, shagging 3 men in rapid succession so she doesn't know who the father of her child is. A fine moral story for the young girls it's aimed at.

She was right about Mamma Mia. I'm the biggest ABBA fan and I hated it. There's a difference between being really funny and grotesquely over-acting , which is what they all did & that made it so cringeworthy.

Thumbs up for that alone

That doesn’t make it very appealing. She might get a few laughs, but it still is insulting to people. But it is so British to be rude. I used to think the French were bad but she constantly says things for a laugh that I can tell some of the guests wish she’d just shut up. It is her own damn industry! She should get educated about it, at least. Age is no excuse for ignorance, which she embraces a little too tightly. The last show I saw her on, she said about 5 or 6 comments that were totally unnecessary and all very rude and kind of mean. “I don’t know any of your work, or anything about you.’ The intelligent choice is to just keep one’s mouth closed, but she loves to play off the ‘I’m old and ignorant and too lazy to care about who else will be on a show with me or research them in any way.” I think the stereotype she’s is going for insults the rest of us who are in retirement age who would never brag about ignorance, and insult people. I’d love to see someone give it right back to her and see how she likes it.

@@Happybidr Wow you must be boring, insulting something with humorous delivery is good fun in the right environment. Of course not everyone takes it well because some people are incredibly weak and have no idea how to play things off to make it into another comedic bit, but Miriam would love someone to return the banter as long as they are in the same mindset! Graham Norton's show is as much a place to entertain as to sell your film or TV show, so if you can't handle what so many viewers enjoy go back to watching whatever impenetrably dull content you usually partake in.

Happybidr, who hurt you?? 😞

@@Happybidr It's really not that serious... it's Graham Norton; they know they're going to be poked fun at a bit or made to reveal something embarrassing about themselves, it's just that Miriam's doing it in addition to or instead of the host doing it. Besides, Miriam is rather famous for this sort of thing, and if they're sensitive about these kinds of remarks they probably wouldn't have agreed to be on in the first place.

FVNT0M IIX i

😂😂😂😂

Makin me blush with that profile pic, boi

As you know they were in BlackAdder 2 together.

Wicked child, chairs are an invention of Satan!!!

@@Isleofskye Also in Blackadder 1 (she was the Infanta).

Indeed Tim. Off to bed as it's 5.44am in London but just listened to a " Can-Do Festival" interview with Noel Edmonds who has sold up and moved permanently to New Zealand and had Prostrate Cancer( though that is not mentioned in this fascinating 50 minute interview) I did not know he had left The UK..

Miriam is EXACTLY like what you see on the show. (I worked with her.) She is blunt, honest, intelligent, witty, etc. etc. etc. None of it is for "effect" as some have posted here. It is genuine and just part of who she is.

Completely agree she makes them hilarious!! So happy to see her again I actually stopped watching GNS so much due to time restraints but so tempted to watch this episode purely because she's on there!

Is Winona funny? I've never seen her in interviews before.

hahaha on Mamma Mia

+Talaa Taleghani You've obviously missed the joke there.. watch the interview Winona Ryder is mentioned in...

That'll be wonderful! For laugh! But I am certain that Miriam adores Winona genuinely as we do.

@@huqiao Miriam can't stand her.

wickandde ... and WHY would anyone want to see Kim and kanye!!!!??

+ Barbara Wasilak - Agreed! I'd much rather see Kim and Kanye being shipped off to Siberia instead!

@@basiabasia3387 to see Miriam knock them off their pedestal

Not that kind of show, love. Nobody wants to see those 2 on Graham Norton, they're not worth sitting in the audience. 😎

She's always brilliant every time she's on Graham Norton :D

woman

calvin9999999999 Because she just swears to sound cool whereas Miriam gets carried away.

It's cause Miriam is unassuming. She sounds posh and well spoken, so you don't expect it. Her swearing is also calculated for emphasis, she swears deliberately with intention.

calvin9999999999 w

Like me - profanity only reserved for emphasis or anger - makes everything better

Plant lady..?? 😳😳 You must be muggle born... P.S : i am just kidding..
