To ask if you prefer Beverly from Abigail’s Party or Pam-LARRRR from Gavin and Stacey ?

[Jumell]

Tbh I could start a discussion about Abigail’s Party right now and I’d still be discussing it until Xmas 2026 🎄 There are SO many layers/undertones to that absolutely brilliant drama !

Is it even a choice?!?!?

(Abigail's party cannot be beaten)

Where and what is abigail’s party?

Well Pam is clearly related to Bev.

Pamelaaar is a much nicer person. Beverley is quite unpleasant.

Came along to say entirely this.
Also AS is an amazing actress, always surprises me how quietly spoken she is when you see her interviewed.

It was a Play For Today first televised in November 1977

. . . or Wendy from Life is Sweet?

Yes agreed

I’m not at all familiar with her !

Or Candice Marie from Nuts in May? And that bloody earworm of "She's going to the zoo she said...". I used to take school trips to Studland and could always hear Candice Marie in my head.

Do you like Demis Roussos ?

Nuts in May Alison Steadman and Mike Leigh in 1976 btw.

Ah not familiar with that one at all

Pamel-AARR is Beverley after she became a better person.

Beverley was awesome, (in a gruesome way).

I cannot believe how well AS has aged. I feel like I've grown up beside her but I age and she doesn't!

Oooh you're in for a treat!

There must be a better version of it around but the first 10 mins of this gives you the idea . . .

"I like Demis Roussos, Ang likes Demis Roussos, and Susan would like to hear Demis Roussos !"

I don't prefer either. They are just characters Alison Steadman plays. Bit of a daft question.

Ah thanks for this link ! 🙌
