Live webchat with Dawn French

rebeccamumsnet · 01/11/2010 09:06

We are thrilled to announce that comedian, writer and actor Dawn French will be joining us here at the Towers on Wednesday 3 November, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm for a live webchat.
Dawn has appeared in some of the country's most long-running, fave shows including French and Saunders, The Comic Strip Presents?, Vicar of Dibley and most recently, Roger and Val Have Just Got In.
On top of her screen achievements, Dawn's memoir, Dear Fatty, topped the best-selling charts and now her first novel, A Tiny Bit Marvellous, is out and it's more than a tiny bit marvellous that she's joining us for a webchat. Hope you can too, but if you're unable to make it on Wednesday, post your questions here.

Hi Dawn

How are you ?

DawnFrench · 03/11/2010 20:32

@ShirleyGunpowderPlot

I love Sue Perkins as well...

@AnnieBeansMum

Hi Dawn! I am a huge HUGE fan and especially adore Vicar of Dibley! But what is/was your favourite character to play??

Oooh, difficult one! Probably Dawn French from ?French and Saunders?.

QOD · 03/11/2010 20:33

Iliketomoveit - yes my sister and I use it as shorthand for how women generally just get on with stuff despite having flu/colds etc Grin

Dawn you are lovely Smile You should get the l'oreal gig off Chezza - your hair is so much shinier/swishier and presumably no extensions.

Me and dh always do "nick it, nick it" from the school trip gift shop sketch.

DawnFrench · 03/11/2010 20:33

@BecauseImWorthIt

Are you disappointed by how fawning we have all been?!

Were you expecting to be savaged by the nest of vipers, a la Nick Clegg?

Grin

I'm not at all disappointed by the fawning, in fact I could take much more of it, please fawn forever, because I'm worth it!

JamieLeeCurtis · 03/11/2010 20:33

Dawn, I hope you realise that this is the gushiest, least cynical Netmum-type emoticon-laden love-in I have seen on MN.

And quite right too.

Would very much like to support you in London

sillynickers · 03/11/2010 20:34

it bugs me that there arent any normal women advertising stuff!

MardyBra · 03/11/2010 20:34

Thank you Dawn and all the others for the responses.

Can't wait until the old hag darling MIL visits next week to try them all out.

DawnFrench · 03/11/2010 20:34

@tinkgirl

Hi Dawn

what would your mumsnet name be and why? Boring question I know, but I have such trouble trying to think of a name - ended up looking up and seeing a picture of tinkerbelle on DD t-shirt. BORRRINGGGGG or what! How much of what your children do in real life end up in your work? If you want any more material then I'll introduce you to my DD - she is usually on a different planet though so can't guarantee anything.... Grin

I?d by MrsInterestingBigPants ? because I wear big pants. Even when meeting new boys.

bigchris · 03/11/2010 20:34

Are you doing children in need this year?
