I just do. Really quite a lot.

Thats it really.

I do like her. And then every so often (quite often, actually) she reminds me of my younger sister, and then I'm not sure if I like her quite as much anymore.

She's done great things for this brass band though.

JeremyVile · 22/03/2010 21:55

She really reminds me of someone too....cant figure out who though.

Perhaps I know your sister?

Me too, she's fab on everything she does and never fails to have me in stitches.

Do you remember Late Lunch with Mel and Sue?

That got me through some very boring days with dd as a baby

notnowbernard · 22/03/2010 21:56

I like her but in this she is just seems like a female version of the Gareth chap who did the choir thing

yama · 22/03/2010 22:00

I could never work out if I loved Mel or Sue the most.

In hindsight - definitely Sue.

JeremyVile · 22/03/2010 22:01

Ah...Late Lunch, now I had pretty unrefined tastes back then and hated anything remotely studenty so actually I didn't like her at all.

Used to call her Who Perkins but I cant remember why...I'm sure that must've come from someone else.

I only realised how fab she was when she did that food prog with Giles Coren

I think actually that GC quite loved her too.

The programme's essentially the same, so I don't suppose there's a lot of scope for her to take a role much different to Gareth's.

purpleturtle · 22/03/2010 22:03

Did you see QI the other week, when Stephen Fry called her Mel? He was so

notnowbernard · 22/03/2010 22:04

I must admit I haven't watched this series properly, but have wondered why it was comissioned so soon after the Gareth one? (Which I LOVED)

Because it's almost identical

JeremyVile · 22/03/2010 22:05

I had it on in the background so I missed that. I bet he did it deliberately, he can be a tad sour.

I did notice her hair and red lipstick though - she looked really very pretty I thought.

I used to prefer Mel. But in the last couple of years Due has come shining through... Conducting, excellent on Just a Minute ( benefit of the doubt - best episode ever) and now Dinnington Brass band. I love her sense of humour.

I didn't like the foody shows she did though.

Pancakeflipper · 22/03/2010 22:07

I mean Sue not Due (Blast this tiny keyboard)

Used to love listening to my Nan wittering on

pointydog · 22/03/2010 22:39

yes, sue is good, funnier than most.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 22/03/2010 22:41

I heart Sue

GetOrfMoiLand · 22/03/2010 22:57

I think she is great. I remnemner Light Lunch. God that must have been 1996. Donkey's years ago when dd was a baby and I was knackered and working shifts. Seems a whole lifetime ago.

Those two did make me laugh.

I have a crush on Sue P. Think she would make a cracking girlfriend if I were that way inclined.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 22/03/2010 23:10

yy GOML

She is my girl pash

SpringHeeledJack · 26/03/2010 23:15

She's loverly

so is Mel. I do wish they'd do some more stuff together

Cadelaide · 26/03/2010 23:20

BarryKent, how funny, I was going to say she gets right on my pip.

Wick...pip...'tis all the same

Slartybartfast · 26/03/2010 23:22

oh, i loved her in the food programme.

ooi, she is my pash, if i were that way inclined

cocolepew · 26/03/2010 23:25

I was thinking about mel and sue after hearing her on chris evans, didn't they do a sitcom with holly aird or am I mad?
