I absolutely love Martin Clunes! I fancy him so much even though he’s older than my dad. He’s just seems so nice and funny.
Anyone else?!

There's no big name female comedian in the ArtsEd notable alumni list.

Martin Clunes and Joanna Lumley have the most lovely, calming and soothing voices on British TV. Love everything that Martin Clunes has been in he comes across as a very nice guy when being interviewed.

the much loved femal comedian — I thought it might have been DF too as things have been intimated before .
Hmm. Could it be the tall, goofy one who also delivered babies?

He has grown into his looks like Hugh Boniville has
I once read an interview with his ex wife that shocked me a bit but he admitted he was young and made a mess of it

one of those lovely people that you fear one day will fuck up or do something horrible and make you doubt the whole world!

I vaguely know someone who did some interior design work for the Cluneses. I know what colour their bathroom is painted but am keeping that nugget to myself in the hope of starting a tabloid bidding war.

I know someone named Brett Jeremy after Jeremy Brett.
And Neil Morrisey is my fantasy shag.

HoraceCope · 06/02/2019 06:47

that youtube video about the parking is so silly

HoraceCope · 06/02/2019 06:48

on the strength of this thread have been catching up on Manhunt.
good show.
only one day left to watch though!

A while back he was presenting Have I Got News for You. They played a really stupid clip which made me laugh my head off. Camera went back to Martin, who'd also burst out laughing in a lovely spontaneous way. So we have the same daft sense of humour. I like him even more now.

I think you might need a new MN NN, Crystal; how about MrsTishall? Grin

Crystalblue13 · 06/02/2019 09:33

Haha Hank! 😂 love it!

So what was the “cosmetic procedure” he was trying to claim tax relief for in 2017 then?

Seems it was successful!

Devoted fans - what’s he had done please?BlushHalo

Nothininmenoggin · 06/02/2019 10:34

I think it was his lovely lips. I mean look at them very kissable.Grin

HankNPat · 06/02/2019 10:42

According to The Telegraph, possibly a few things : www.telegraph.co.uk/beauty/people/cosmetic-procedures-has-martin-clunes-had-done-asked-experts/

But according to The Times, it was just cosmetic dentistry www.thetimes.co.uk/article/martin-clunes-no-i-havent-had-a-facelift-i-just-had-my-teeth-done-n6l0nmzgk

DobbyTheHouseElk · 06/02/2019 11:32

That YouTube clip doesn’t show Martin in a bad way. Poor chap. Loading his veg into his car. The motorcyclist was rather annoying. Made the motorcycle look like a nasty man.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/02/2019 11:51

I thought Martin handled the parking space altercation reasonably - okay, he shouldn't have been parked in that space, but as he says, it's not the same as parking in a disabled space at all. He could have got arsey in return, but he didn't. And anyway, we all have our off days.

And of course, motorcyclists NEVER park in car spaces usually right back inside them so you think the space is empty and actually turn into it and then find too late that you'll have to go back and the car behind is now right up your bumper do they? Salt of the earth, motorcycles in car-parking spaces 'course, salt kills earth.

Martin Clunes and Joanna Lumley have the most lovely, calming and soothing voices on British TV.

And they both come across as really lovely individuals, too, Noggin. I love Joanna Lumley as well.

My adult dc bumped into him and other cast members when they were in Cornwall a few years ago. She sent me a selfie she took with Clunes. 😍

Banana8080 · 06/02/2019 12:07

Agree!!!

HesterSue · 06/02/2019 12:14

Martin Clunes thinks fox hunting is a wonderful sight to behold , as far as I`m concerned that makes him a class A arseholeAngry

SchadenfreudePersonified · 06/02/2019 16:21

The sheer pageantry DOES look fabulous Hester - but the reality of it is appalling.

ginandbearit · 06/02/2019 16:43

I read somewhere, maybe here a few years ago , that he'd assisted a young woman whose car had been blocked in by an illegally parked van by smashing the van side window with a brick and moving it for her ..a true gent !

MsTSwift · 06/02/2019 16:44

He lives near my granny and is seen locally as a nice chap. That said I don’t get fancying him !
