Dawn French - what a goddess

Just watching Graham Norton with Dawn French
Her hair is sharp. She looks her age but also gorgeous. She is also funny and clever. I love her. Totally inspired. Just being a fangirl. Anyone want to join?

I agree about the hair.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 13/10/2023 23:10

Always loved her.

Ade on Desert Island Discs had me weeping

🙋Me! I think she’s great. Have pre-ordered her book and am going to see her on tour. Hoping she’ll adopt me.

Redglitter · 13/10/2023 23:16

I'm so glad she went back to her bob. I thought her short hair really aged her. She looks fab.

Oh really? I'll have a listen. Have a soft spot for him too. Also am a bit sad about Rik Mayall tonight.

Has anyone seen 30 Million Minutes? Dawn French's one woman show from a few years ago?

Wept about her lovely dad, cried laughing at the best story involving a member of the royal family ever to be told.

Will catch her on catch up tomorrow. Have loved her for years. Awesome woman.

She is amazing.
I think maybe it's my (perimenopausal) age but I want to grow up like her

I worked with her for several years. I can confirm she is bloody awesome IRL.

Dawn, is that you being modest about yourself my love?

@AdamRyan

Yes do listen. He cries about Rik.

DiscoBeat · 13/10/2023 23:40

I was watching too, she's amazing - and very funny!

I really loved her short, funky hair. Not mad on the grey bob.

Anyway, I have just watched Graham Norton and she’s always good value.

Choughed · 13/10/2023 23:43

😀 Not Dawn or Jennifer sadly, but I do live in Cornwall hence the name. I'm just a background minion.

fuckityfuckityfuckfuck · 14/10/2023 00:24

I was listening to her on magic radio this morning. She talked about becoming proud of her blunders and I think that's what makes her so bloody awesome, she's just so confident in her own skin. Just oozing confidence and charisma.

WingingItSince1973 · 14/10/2023 00:42

She's amazing. Loved the GN show tonight with her and Ade on together. Looking at her I don't worry about aging. She looks fabulous.

baroqueandblue · 14/10/2023 01:20

Never bother with chat shows/Graham Norton, but I'll be making an exception tomorrow on the iplayer - Dawn and Ade?! 😯 Got a lot of love for them both. Thanks for the heads up OP! 😃

Squeezed · 14/10/2023 01:23

I love her but she eats scones the wrong way. Always crème before jam

MeinKraft · 14/10/2023 01:29

I thought she was wearing a wig?! Great episode tonight though.

Whaaaat absolutely not. Never under any circumstances. If nothing else it makes no sense 🥴

anunlikelyseahorse · 14/10/2023 13:25

You should never have crème on a scone! Has to be clotted cream, and yes cream then jam, you wouldn't jam then butter would you?!
Love Dawn French.

Choughed · 14/10/2023 15:38

#JamFirst

Always.

IHeartGeneHunt · 14/10/2023 15:48

I love her, I've always thought she's very beautiful. I've recently found Murder Most Horrid on DVD, hooray.
I also do cream first.
