Bit random, but does anyone think she looks absolutely great? And so different from anyone else in showbiz.

Saw her on Graham Norton but been thinking this for a while.I love her strong, naturally ageing face ( as far as I can tell).

I've loved her since she played Harriet Vane in the Dorothy L Sayers stories with Edward Petherbridge in the 80s - she was so right for the part, that of a strong woman which is what I always feel she is irl.

No sorry, it wasn't Graham Norton. Some morning show. But I also listened to her on " How to Fail". She sounded so wise and sensible.

I loved her 'How to Fail' episode too. Agree that she looks completely fabulous, and doesn't seem to have had any work done. She's my favourite thing in Succession, and I ADORE every little thing about Succession

I saw her on stage as lady Macbeth. She was exquisite.

She’s amazing! Saw her at a Q&A recently organised by a bookshop to publicise her new book.

She is FABULOUS. Big fan here since the 80s. So pleased she is finally getting the widespread recognition she deserves. I met her recently at a book signing and she was as charming as I had hoped.

She blows my heart out with every word.

Loved her for life in Talking Heads ‘the dreaded quiche’.

Yes this!

She is so poised and authentic, graceful woman. I wish we had lots and lots of such women in the media, I really do. Fantastic role model.

HW is fantastic. I’ve been a huge fan since discovering her in the 90’s
