Patricia Routledge is now 94, the same age as her Aunty Annie when she washed up and laid down on the sofa to die. I hope Ms Routledge is in good health and that she is around to make the world a better place for many more years.

Patricia Routledge is so classy, elegant and well spoken.

My goodness. A public figure who can speak clearly, grammatically, intelligently and wittily. No, like, sort of, you know or any vulgarities. Wonderful lady.

I was in the audience for this show, such a lovely lady and Parky is just a legend in his own questions.

Silence of the audience says it all. Absolute legend 👏

Now Dame Patricia Routledge and still alive at 92

I love to hear her talking. That accent sounds so classy, and so refined

“Acting is the physicalisation of imagination”. utterly spellbound by her brilliance and gentle charm. What a treasure to the world of theatre!!

Listen to her sing.She is absolutely 💯 amazing

I've watched both Keeping Up Appearances and Hetty Wainthropp. Phenomenal actor with impeccable timing.

A star. A great actress of boundless talent and great sense.

What fabulous and intellectual answers-off the cuff. Such a remarkable lady x

My favorite actor, Patricia Routledge. I would rather listen to her take on life and share her experiences than to watch the best movie that could be made. It was obvious that this gentleman feels the same way.

Love Patricia Routledge, and she´s brilliant as Hyacinth. I can also highly recommed her in a Woman of No Importance here on youtube. She´s such a versatile actress and seems like a lovely lady!

A phenomenal person and actress. I could listen to her talk all day.

What a great lady! So gracious, so intelligent, so kind and personable.

This is the depth and space that a talk show should allow and explore. Wonderful lady and an expert host.

What a wonderful lady. Articulate, intelligent and funny! Fabulous.

In another interview she'd considered becoming an English teacher. Listening to her in this interview... believe she'd have been very inspiring to children. What a wonderful way of describing acting .. " a physicalisation of the imagination".

I can literally SEE every word she says. So intelligent, so articulate, so capable of infusing everything with a special layer of meaning.

A wonderful, classically trained singer and actress who was academically bright, and whose love of the English language has made her a force to be reckoned with. Her Bennett monologues were mesmerising, and every part she touches she fills with life and credibility. Her diction and delivery are superb. My admiration for yet another northern woman with character and gravitas...knows no bounds. Wonderful woman.

I could listen to her for hours... absorbing everything she says. Absolute legend!

Dame Patricia is just so superbly spoken! She’s an absolute joy to watch.

She's like the Mum, Aunt, Grandma you always wanted ❤️

Too bad the interview was so short! Apart from her brilliance, the format of the interview was also very interesting. He asked meaningful questions and she was allowed to give detailed responses. They didn't speak in soundbites, they didn't speak over each other, and they didn't want to come across as the funniest people on earth. If only we still had a life so well paced still.

What a lady, what a talent, what class, and interviewed by one of the greats of his profession - tv gold.

I really miss interviews like this! Really insightful, could listen to her for hours!

What a great interview.

Such a fantastic actress, and a very intelligent lady, and as a young child in the 90’s when Keeping up appearances was on tv, it was my favourite comedy show 😁

I adore this lady, she is the definition of a national treasure

The most wonderful interview, such as intelligence, a joy.

I always loved watching Keeping up appearances. She is a delight to watch with Parkinson.

I really didn't want this interview to end. I was Spellbound . What a completely deep person Patricia is. She always shy's away from Mrs Bucket for some reason. She doesn't want to be remembered by that monster she calls her, however she played the part perfectly and even today is timeless.

She’ll always be Hyacinth Bucket to me:) And now she’s 94 years old:)

Faultless. The Alan Bennett Talking Heads monologues have to be my all time favourites.

She really is a joy to listen to. Always loved her on TV.

As soon as she walks out you can see she is very confident on a stage. Looks at the audience and engages.

94 yesterday (17th February) she's just an absolute icon 💖

This was an awesome interview! I love the show, “Keeping up Appearances”. My husband told me about it and I’ve watched the seasons over and over again. Stellar actors! ☺️

If it wasn't for ' Keeping Up Appearances' I never would have realized that she was in ' To Sir With Love', with Sidney Poitier.

Great interview thanks for uploading it

Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands! 🇳🇱

Parkinson always was the best interviewer - ask a question and let the guest answer it without interruption or making it about himself. The lovely Dame Patricia Routledge was a perfect guest. Certainly a little Hyacinth coming through.

whenever i feel bored or miserable i switch on keeping up appearances boxset and within minutes i am on cloud9, in absolute hysterics!!!! i've always said the key to happiness and longevity is laughter and patricia certainly has had "bucket" loads of that over the years :)

Wonderful lady, absolute class, thanks to her for all the laughs when growing up

I just watched an interview with her from the last couple of years - in her 90s and still full of beans. What a legend she is

What a wonderful lady. I really enjoyed the empathy between Parky and her.

I just love this lady!! I have laughed until I cried at her antics on Keeping Up Appearances!!

Beautiful beautiful woman. Such a wonderful soul. Id love to be her friend!

I love Her. What an amazing actress she is.

Comedy is the sparkle of or lives. Thank you Dame Routledge, you have always been a blessing.

I just adore this lady ....

Sheer class. We are so lucky to have her.

Never married, no children, looks fanastic. She is onto something!!!!

What a wonderful lady.♥️

Highly intelligent and so well spoken. Love listening to her. Watched Keeping Up Appearances judiciously. She is the best!

Fabulous Lady. A complete class act.

She is delightful.

Such a wonderful actress and even more fabulous person.Loved her as Hyacinth and Hetty.

How I've adored this woman 💙 many blessings Dame Patricia 😊

This woman is a national treasure, love her

I bloody love her! Never married but played the most perfect and irritating fish wife EVER! Do come on Richard 😂🤣❤

Patricia Routledge is so interesting a person and a very good interview by Michael Parkinson.

I love this lady. I discovered her on Keeping up Appearances. I then found her playing Hetty Wainthropp and I wished they had made more episodes of that. She is a joy to watch, I love her personality and wish I could just give her a big hug.

Ouch! The line of questioning about marriage was unnecessarily awkward, however, she handled it superbly.

She did not want to be typecasted. She is very posh.. so when she was Hyacinth, she was able to overextend herself. But that is acting. She was phenomenal in that show, and it was the Queen mothers favorite show. She loved it, and that’s why Queen Elizabeth adored her.

What a lady ! Brilliant at all she has done, such insight. Could listen to her stories all day. Love her so very much.

Amazing woman, a real British gem

An intriguing & intelligent woman, loved her in Talking Heads & Hetty Wainthrop as she was so spot on 💞

Dame Patricia Routledge. A TRUE national treasure ✨

Fantastic actress and a humble lady 😘

Always well-spoken, thoughtful, and completely *herself* . Watching her in action over the years has informed my own writing, as she is a master at bringing to life someone else’s writing. Incredible woman.

Never knew Dame Patricia Rutledge was in Coranation Street. She was foxy lady when she younger.

Nice interview. Pity she didn't talk a little more about keeping up appearances. She came to the local Galway Fillm fleadh (festival) and charmed everyone with the talk she gave. Think she was a guest and promoting a film she was in at the time.

And today we interview Gemma Collins 😫

Wonderful interview. She is probably my most favorite actress. I don't know though if I would ask a woman her age why she never married. That's a bit to personal a question for a TV interview. She handled it well though and moved on to the rest of the interview.

She doesn't just look at the interviewer, she draws the audience in with her

Fantastic woman, absolutely compulsive viewing. I for one am so glad she didn’t marry, just imagine all the entertainment we would have missed.

Delightful, legendary, kind and super talented. Dame Patricia has presence, but unlike Hyacinth Bucket, not in an overbearing way. She speaks with intelligence and wit and paints great images with her words. One of this country’s finest ever performers.

I remember seeing that interview the first time around (and the second, several years later in a hotel room in Sydney). Come to think about it, I was at the Tranmere-Sunderland cup game she mentions! Went to see my grandma in hospital after the match, so it comes from a very specific time in my life.

Incredibly talented...and so much more.

Such a classy lady absolutely adored this series wasn’t she amazing?❤️❤️

I first saw her in a small part in TO SIR WITH LOVE. One of my favorite movies still after all these decades.

Brilliant Lady, Youre a legend Patricia, and your work will br remembered for the generations to come!

Absolute legends. The pair of them.

So pleased this appeared in my suggestions. A real Sunday morning treat, a very interesting interview.

What a wonderful way she has at describing things. Not just acting, to me but many of life's encounters and goals one wants to achieve.

I'm so fortunate to have discovered this wonderful actor's work. I enjoy it very much.

What a wonderful human being. Enthralling, talented, entertaining, just delightful.

I love her i watched her shows every night what a beautifull lady thank you for bringing so much joy to me

I'm happy to watch this because Patricia Routledge is a TV Comedy Icon And Legend , i have a grear deal of respect and love for her as a actress , as far as I'm concerned i mean who better could you have to play a snobby character like Hyacinth Bucket other than Patricia Routledge. Im not calling Patricia Routledge a snob by the way , she is just great at that role in keeping up appearances . I also have complete respect for all the rest of the cast and everyone involved creating such a great hilarious comedy like Keeping Up Appearances aswell , that show and how far it as come even to this day is a real credit to everyone involved in that great British TV comedy from the actors and actress on thay shiw that have unfortunately passed away to the ones that are still alive and well today , plus all the camera and lighting crew, the producer(s) and everyone else involved in the show👏🙌. British great comedy like keeping up appearances , one foot in the grave, the royle family e.t.c make me proud to be 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Also just for the record Parkinson is from my hometown of Barnsley, South Yorkshire!, England.

A friend of mine was a Guardianship Representative. She worked with mostly seniors, and went to meet the first time with s 90 year old woman, residing in a nursing home. She appeared in pumps, suit, gloves, pearls at her neck, and her purse. During the course of their first meeting she asked this lovely old lady, why she’d never married? She said “Well it’s like this, if I’d known that the last guy who asked me to marry him, was going to be the LAST guy to ask me to marry him, I might have said YES!” Perhaps this was the case with Patricia! What a lovely woman!

Absolutely wonderful

She is such a jewel. ❤️ you forever Patricia

she is a legend allways will be

She always gave the impression of doing a spoof when playing Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet). In another interview she gave, she said she knew people like Hyacinth who "get up your nose."

I dearly love Dame Patricia Routledge. What a lovely, colourful, delightful women. I just love her.

What a great actress. I love all her work. God bless you Patricia

Not a word about her work on Broadway ... her Tony Award for best actress in a musical (in a Jule Styne show, no less) or the show Leonard Bernstein wrote for her where she played all of America's First Ladies, or the massive success in the rocked up Pirates of Penzance.

She lives in chichester, near me. Still articulate and a lovely member of the community, even tho she is in her later years now.
