Stephen Fry so sanctimonious and Miriam Margolyes - crude, smutty woman

Bluenotgreen · 29/08/2026 19:06

David Jason was the first person to come to mind.

Shit shouty “acting”

Wipeywipey · 29/08/2026 19:07

David Jason
Margoyles
Alan Carr
Beckahams
Most footballers

If I hear most of the above talk for over a minute I want to throw things at the TV.

Everyone already mentioned plus Stephen Graham who seems to be heading toward NT status.

Almost every other one of these I can kind of understand even if I didn’t share the view. But Stephen Graham?! Why?!

MarxistMags · 29/08/2026 19:08

Dawn French. Jennifer Saunders.
Jack Whitehill. Stephen Fry.

Nooooooo
How can you say that?
Who's gonna teach us everything about nature when he's gone?

He has used a substantial amount of resources, particularly fossil fuels over his 7 decade career.

He is famous for stating, “Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist,”

The irony!

Miriam, and Romesh. Sure i’ll think of some more.

I just hate the term National Treasure. A while back pretty much everyone was given National Treasure status it was getting ridiculous. I think people have calmed down dishing it out now. It’s such a revoltingly, cloying, saccharine bullshit term.

NHS

really badly run, wasteful and often barely mediocre.

i think it needs a complete reformation with funding agreed - then voted for by the public. I think NHS v2 needs to happen soon, so people who are ill can be treated.

I absolutely love Lumley and Claudia!

At this point, the royal family en masse. Except for Princess Anne.

As she’s got older I like her more and more. And her lassie

Ratherhaveacupofteaandabiscuit · 29/08/2026 19:13

Bloody Miriam Margolies.
An older woman farting and swearing, shock and horror! Clearly must be hilarious. Not.

Reminds me of Rosie Jones. Ooh! Disabled woman says fuck a lot. So edgy!
So dull.

PS I am an older and disabled woman myself so if I am not a fan, who is??

notwavingbutdrowning1 · 29/08/2026 19:15

Rory Stewart - ugh.

Agree with PPs on Miriam Margoyles, Stephen Fry and Dawn French.

SplendidUtterly · 29/08/2026 19:15

Dawn F
Miriam M
Linda R
Anton Du Beke
Tom J
Julie G

BeardySchnauzer · 29/08/2026 19:16

I refuse to accept anyone saying the Beckhams because it is not acceptable for anyone to think of them as national treasures

Buscobel · 29/08/2026 19:16

Xander Armstrong. The Xander annoys me intensely.
Richard Osman.

I don't think this one is actually allowed, is it? I mean, isn't dissing him a bit like murdering gorillas or melting glaciers or something?

I thoroughly dislike David Attenborough, and am heartened amazed by the number of people on this thread who have also mentioned his name. But to say it publicly is definitely like you've said you like kicking puppies...

ManyATrueWord · 29/08/2026 19:18

David Tennant. The man can act but his stance on women's rights (not allowed!) leave me cold.

What could be so heinous that it needs to wait until he dies?

It's not he 1970s anymore, why would people keep quiet, it's not like an older star having a hidden side is the slightest bit unusual

InQuiresandplaceswheretheysing · 29/08/2026 19:20

Couldn’t stand Bruce Forsyth, Ricky Tomlinson made my skin crawl. No idea why.

emuloc · 29/08/2026 19:21

Stephen Graham should not be on this thread, imo. I don't know him, but he comes across as decent, and genuine to me.

LollyWillow · 29/08/2026 19:21

David Attenborough
Stephen Fry
Clare Balding
Sandi Toksvig
Mary Beard
Alan Titchmarsh
