I forgot Gemma Collins, she’s rude, unfunny and comes across as very thick. I have no idea how she became famous.

Side note but William is many things, but he’s not lazy. DH worked with him in the RAF, the lads all thought a lot of him and he was one of the first ones in and last to leave.

@Solonge it's not your place to come on and tell us why we should like the person we said we didn't and everyone else does! That's not what the thread is about.

..not my place? Thank you so much for your input, good to know we are being policed.

I think Dench is very overrated as an actress. She's often mentioned in the same breath as other great theatre dames such as Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg and Julie Andrews. IMO she's not in their league in terms of versatility, charisma or gravitas.

Rigg's stage presence was simply mesmerizing. When she was in a scene you couldn't look at anything other than her.

If you ever saw Dench at the RSC I think your opinion might be different. She was often cited as the best in to,e.

It‘a the podcast called “You’re Wrong About”. It’s an ok podcast, sometimes the presenters are a tad annoying but on the whole, fairly interesting. They pick out cultural events it phenomena in recent history and re-examine them to dispel all the misconceptions we usually have about them, and how they were misunderstood at the time. There have been some good ones, like the McDonalds coffee scalding incident of the early 90s. Not for the squeamish. Also, I found the episodes they did on Nicole Browne Simpson very moving and poignant (such a terrible case, feel awful for Ronald Goldman too, talk about wrong place wrong time). They also dedicated some episodes to Princess Diana which were ok. I don’t find her that interesting but learned a bit.

Hope you enjoy if you decide to listen!

@TigerQueen89 thank you!

cobblers123 · 08/01/2023 13:19

Haven't seen her name come up yet after 26 pages so am prepared to be slaughtered for this one.

Nicola Walker! I just don't get the tremendous love whenever her name is mentioned that she's going to be in something. She plays the same part each time, that strange pausing she does when speaking. Drives me nuts. I'm sure she's a wonderful person but I tend to not bother to watch anything she's in as it's so annoying.

Would add that I am so pleased the Ken Bruce has not appeared on here. I would hate to find out that someone in the UK hates him. Love you Ken.

The list could be soooo long.....so I'll just say Jim Carey.

Scarlett Moffat and Larry Lamb did it for me when she sat on his lap in the jungle. Yuk.
Rev Kate Bottley, doesn't promote anything but herself.
Iain Stirling and Russell Howard, especially on Taskmaster. Loved it when Liza Tarbuck told the latter to ring his agent when he complained about something on the show after he'd rung her for help on another task.

And Lewis Hamilton, absolute diva to work for, apparently.

Never occurred to me. But yeah. Kind of an occupational hazard though ? A million quid a week for a non job like that.

Throw in McIroy , Woods and the other players of ' a good walk spoiled ' !
