When she says the Scottish accent is classless, she means it's hard for the English to determine if the person speaking is high class or low class. She is not saying the accent isn't classy.
Not true, upper class people in Edinburgh for instance speak in a posh English accent while working class ppl speak with a strong Scottish accent.
@@marcellop3163 She is only using one accent. That is the only one she is talking about, that very specific accent and tone and manner invokes a helpless harmless person. No one is making broad claims about every type of Scottish accent.
as a Glaswegian I assumed that.
Her father came from Glasgow, that accent she uses is from Kelvinside. There are hundreds of different accents in Scotland.
Sounds like an old Highlands & Isles woman, come to Glasgow they don't sound like that, I'll glass ye ya fucker.
One of the greatest Graham Norton stories ever is the one that Greg Davies shares to Jodie Foster, Russel Crowe and Ryan Gosling about his time as a teacher. An absolute must!
Ryan Gosling losing it is a must watch, so true 👍
Thats a brilliant story lolol
Agree! It's GOLD 😂
Modern art, at its finest.
Yes!! Never get tired of watching that one. I'm in hysterics every time.
Miriam Margolyes is a national treasure and we Brits love her.
@@regplate2923 was just about to say that. She can be quite vulgar, crude, loud and obnoxious
@@BlowinFree Yup, perfect description. I can't stand her, which is why I won't watch this video.
She has lived a life !!!
I love her! She’s so open…there is literally no affront from what she says. While some might cry racist, Will gets her instantly. No walls up, no anger… just OM Goodness, she’s so honest! It’s impossible not to love her. What a hilarious woman. My only experience with her was the snobby Aunt Prudence on ‘Miss Fishers’ mysteries. Completely opposite from her true self.
@@geoffos42. Hmmmm, really confused. Hotel doc?
Wil I AM and Miriam have become good friends, she visits him in LA whenever she is there and even showed up to his house on one of her travel shows.
I didn't know about that.
It's honestly quite nice that they kept in touch like that
This makes me so happy 😀
It's one of those odd couple friendships like Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart.
The truth is that you cannot but love her.
yep even on the show you can see that it started off kind of funny and rocky but they got along great.
She also has a massive heart and really cares about people. She’s mastered the art of caring immensely about others while simultaneously not caring about what anyone of them thinks of her.
Well said!! 😁
Brilliant job , well done . A great example to follow ❤
Except trans people, yeah
@@CoRLex-jh5vx nope. Don’t spread misinformation.
@@LyraDavis she's publicly supported JKR, which is incredibly disrespectful to the trans people Joanne 'advocates' against. So yeah. Miriam doesn't care about trans people. Not misinformation unless she's retracted that support and I've somehow missed it.
Miriam Margolyes is the coolest human ever to walk the earth. The lack of filter, coupled with a huge intellect and sharp wit is unmatched in my opinion. As Stephen Fry states so eloquently “There is no one on earth so wonderful as my darling friend Miriam Margolyes” says it all really. 👏🥳♥️🥰🤩
I didn't know he had said that. Made them both go up in my estimation, not that they weren't pretty high already.
@@Russ_Keith I think the same....two people I could listen to all day....
The UK has fallen. There has been a right wing coup in this country… And nobody noticed. We did not notice because it was years in the making. We did not notice because when it came, it came in a blonde wig and a mask of buffoonery." Miriam Margolyes
@@Russ_Keith too right
I could listen to her for hours, she engaging hilarious .
Hands down The Graham Norton Show is the BEST talk show, been a huge fan for years. Miriam is FANTASTIC, absolutely love her. People come on talk about what they are promoting for a minute and the rest of the show is crazy stories from his guests!!! THANK YOU BBC America for airing this show in the US.
I remember someday when I was about 17, we were on holiday at my grandmothers house. My mum found some weed in the room were I was sleeping and freaked out. She shouted at me and didn't give me a chance to say anything.
My grandmother came into the room, starred at the bag of weed, grabbed it and said "Well honey, calm down, that's mine."
After a bit of arguing with my mum (her daughter), my mum had to apologise to me.
My mum left the room and my grandmother gave me a little smirk and said "I know it, you know it... We don't need to talk about it. Now give my some of 'my' papers. I have this certain feeling, that you will do the gardening work instead of me and I will have a very relaxed day." 😂😂
RIP granny, I will always love you.❤️
Now my son is 17 and whenever he's doing some stupid things, I try to remember this smirk my granny gave me this day.
What I'm trying to say is... When you're older, don't forget that you have been young too.
When you're young, no matter what you do... be aware that you are not the first driving down this road 😉
Such a sweet story, thanks for sharing.
This is lovely! You have a gift for writing!
@@wmdnw ❤️
English is not my language. Thx a lot for your nice words.
I was blessed with wonderful grandparents too...and now I'm the grandmother...there is just nothing better
Woman's got no filter and a huge heart. A true British treasure
and she travels everywhere it is great to follow her and watch her going around.
She's not british. She's Australian.
@danganbeg7225 she became an Australian citizen in 2013 because her partner is Australian. She was born in England and spent most of her time there. She and her partner live in the UK, Australia and Italy, so kindly stop clowning
I worked with her on a tv job and she was so nice and truly funny. She would come into the office for a chat and we literally didn't get any work done while she was there.
You’re so lucky! I would love to meet her and have a chat.
were you a painter on the set by any chance?
With or without the flatulence?!
I rented a room in a house of the man who ran a theatre she had her one woman show about dickens ..brilliant show ..got to meet her as well . a treasure trove of memories.
@@jagwolf8079 lol no but that would be a story!
There are several of her appearances that did not make it into the compilation, one of them being a reunion of sorts with Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). Miriam was Professor Sprout in those movies, and watching her embarrass the living hell out of Radcliffe (who clearly adores her anyway) is both hilarious and charming.
...and the drug bust
When she says... your balls have dropped 😅
Miriam appeared quite frequently on the Graham Norton show. Every episode was hilarious
Graham Norton is the best late night host ever. He is sarcastic, funny, warm and makes almost everyone feel very comfortable
Exactly the atmosphere is so different to American talk shows which are much more cringe and uncomfortable this just feels like friends talking with graham.
His guest appearances on The Stephen Colbert Show are great, if you haven't seen them. Stephen was genuinely surprised when he learned Graham's guests are allowed to drink, and are often pissed. On Graham's second appearance, Stephen brings out the booze. I just love that Graham actually allows the guests to talk and tell their stories without interrupting and trying to take the limelight.
@@kylecs3586 yes saw that was very good I think Stephen knows he has a lot to learn from graham
@@casperselka671 Graham Norton 8s the best chat show host however America's Jimmy Kimmel is a class act too. He's a very funny and engaging chat show host.
Graham Norton isn't even in the same league as David Letterman. He was the absolute king of late night talk shows. He was funnier and more intelligent than almost every guest, but always reined it in except to set the guest up for their own chance to shine. Nobody else comes close to his wit and charisma.
You have to realise women the age of miriam have been through the 50s 60s 70s etc, all the iconic times, of music, serial freedom, etc has 'lived' their lives. So respect this woman
Indeed... and we ALL have a lot of stories to tell... (Though none of us, of course, can tell them quite so hilariously brilliantly as dear Miriam.) :-)
She is so funny being interviewed it's often overlooked that she is a phenomenally talented actress
It might be "overlooked" by people in the US, et al, by people who don't know any better, but I can guarantee you that the people in the UK absolutely know how talented she is - which is really what matters.
Miriam has no filter.
And that’s what makes her the best guest for Graham
Miriyam is absolutely bonkers - no holds barred 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does that include when she stated that she wanted Boris Johnson castrated and then dead?
Uninhibited yes, bonkers no. She’s Oxbridge educated and has a sharp mind with lots of intellectual hinterland.
@@mogulmeister And the ability to make offensive public statements. However, because she's privileged, she can get away with it.
@@sandgrownun66 Offensive ? How so ? Offensive statements aren’t in the exclusive realm of the “privileged” ? If you are referring to her potty mouth I am sure that there are many entertainment figures
Who didn’t go to Oxbridge who also “get away with it”. She had many struggles at Cambridge - particularly with the predominantly male Footlights team which went on to form Monty Python. She learned how easy it was to get ignored and did something about it.
@@mogulmeister OK. So you don't find wishing somebody serious harm and then death to be offensive. In that case, what do you find offensive, if anything?
Of course, being offensive isn't only the preserve of the privileged. But if you don't have the right connections, you're more likely to fall foul of the authorities. There have been a couple of cases recently, of comedians having action taken against them. Simply for making jokes, which pale in comparison, to those made by Miss Margoyles.
As for her "potty mouth", you obviously don't know the meaning of the term. To enlighten you, it refers to using bad language. Wishing someone severe bodily harm and death in an ad hominem attack, goes far beyond the use of a few generalised swear words.
Nobody "struggles" at Cambridge, and anyway, is that an excuse for her reprehensible behaviour, in this case? If you manage to get to Oxford or Cambridge, you've already made it. All the right doors are open and waiting for you. The Footlights is just a side line outside their studies for those who are dramatically inclined.
One of the funniest episode of Graham Norton is the one with Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Hugh Bonneville😂😂😂 I higly recommend reacting to that one😊😊
Bloody amazing that is!! Good
rec
Best chat show ever and one of the greatest episodes so funny
Miriam’s a treasure. She lives down here in Australia now and we’re so happy to have her
She has no filter, she is witty n funny n intelligent. 😄😄. She has tons of stories and its all so fascinating n funny. She doesn't feel the need to suagr coat n please people. I just love her
Will is so cool. I love watching Americans being shocked by the bluntness of the British sense of humour.
We LOVE your Humor!!!! Years and years back I discovered Benny Hill and Mr. Bean!! So kept looking up British Comedians…. I think it’s funnier because you have so many thinking you are all about being polite, a tad formal, and tight lipped! Outside it’s an outside façade to the world!!!
Cant think of anyone on Graham Norton’s show that didn’t have me laughing till I had tears running down my face!!!!
Love your HUMOR
@@mattg56 I didn't hear her give an opinion. She just told stories. Each to their own I guess.
So glad you found Miriam, she's definitely one of a kind. I occasionally binge watch her on UA-cam when I need cheering up. Knew you'd love her.
Miriam is SO outspoken, with not a care in the world, love her so much!! 💝
She's like everybody's mad old aunt for the entire country!
Crying with laughter😂😂imagine sitting Bob Mortimer and Miriam together for a chat😂😂😂🫶🏽
Maggie Smith was indeed the Reverend Mother in Sister Act and Sister Act 2. She's had an illustrious, legendary career both onstage and on-screen.
Not to forget, two time Oscar winning actress…
In 2018 she made a series where she went on a road trip of the US. It was called Miriams Big American Adventure, made by BBC TV.
In it she toured the States meeting people from all walks of life, with some comedic moments and some less comedic and some poignant. The visit that physically moved her, and was spine chilling, was when she visited a convicted murderer awaiting execution on death row. The interview left her physically moved especially when she walked out of the Prison. Powerful television! BBC at its best. Might be worth a web search to see if it can be seen on line. You will really see another side to her.
Def going to watch that. Ty !!
She is incredible, I literally wet myself laughing. I only discovered her last year, but love her on Graham Norton the most. I was born in England and living in Australia, which is also her second home with her partner. I wish more people could be like her.....so honest and transparent and so hilarious. Wow!!!
She was in Harry Potter.
No one else has the nerve to do the things she's done. Or parents are alive and might hear it.
Ms Margolyes (pronounced Marg-o-liz) is an Oxbridge woman who has acted all the way from her 70s Japanese movie voiceovers to being Prof Sprout in Harry Potter. I remember her in Scorsese's Age of Innocence, for which she got a BAFTA award. She was awareded the OBE too, but also got awards for such works as Little Dorrit, Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, Wicked, etc. She's probably the most well known Dickensian actress of her generation. Her ancestors were Jews from Tsarist Russia, and lots of her humour is typical of Yiddish kitchen humour. She is greatly loved in her second home, Australia.
and in Blackadder
I would say “Margo-leez”
Leez not Liz, she’s very strict about that.
And us Aussies are very happy to have her.
she was at Cambridge.
She is my absolute hero. Perfect human being. Kind, clever, formidable, crude and unrepentant!
Miriam Margoyles is a gift to us all. Hard not to be happy when she is around.
It is really interesting watching the change in Will-i-am’s body language with Miriam from the beginning of this through to the end. She won him over💕 I love British comedy. Sending best wishes from Down Under 🇦🇺😎
So true. He wasn't sure what to make of her at the start. He even sat with his body facing away from her. By the end they were best mates and snuggling up to each other - it was so cute to watch them.
Imagine Miriam and Bob Mortimer together , that would be a time you would seriously die laughing 😂
OMG, I hope someone finds such a collection!
She is a one off, the best guest any chatshow host could have. Unfiltered, could listen to Mirriam allday very honest n funny.
Mariam has been in other shows, she's one of graham Norton's favorite guests. It's worth watching the whole show with will I am. There was alot more they left out
She states she is not a comedian but she just naturally is. She would be top of my list to have at my dinner table. One of the best actresses out their too. That was a great reaction guys.
My father was involved with the local rep theatre in Edinburgh, and Miriam would sometimes hang out in our house when I was a kid. She made an impression on a young lad, as you might imagine...
So lucky
Glad to see Miriam Escobar getting the recognition she deserves.
Escobar?
@@Neesi392see Part 2 of the boys reaction..... The one with Daniel Radcliffe.
Saw her last week at a live show in our local theatre, honestly she is phenomenal and so funny
“I’d like to be on one of your shows that will actually air”. One of the delights as a Brit watching Graham Norton is watching the more uptight American celebrities panicking about how to react on air.
I think that's true for many Europeans. I watched a lot of the show online and my favorite videos were those with guests from Britain and the US mixed together. I was always waiting for those shocked facial expressions of the Americans. And some just have a great time with Graham, not having to watch their language all the time which I also enjoy watching.
My Wife got me her Autobiography for Christmas, these stories are the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Miriam is amazing.
I can highly recommend getting Miriams autobiography audio book (she reads it herself) "This Much is True" It's one of the most brutally honest autobiographies you will ever hear/read. She was atually criticisied for disclosing so many secrets of the celebs she has worked with in it. But to the average person that just makes it all the more better.
I’ve just listened to it, she has lived a very full life and her best life.
My mum has been recommending her book for a while. I might have to give the audio book a go!
All the better. The "more" is superfluous. Just saying
Thanks for the heads up Tass, think I'll order it x
I've got it so funny and honest
I work in home care and one of our clients is just like Miriam every time we go to her house we end up crying with laughter 🤣
Som people just never get old. She’s childlike, but never childish, too intelligent.
You've opened up Pandora's box with Miriam Margolyes, she is unfiltered and a welcome distraction from everyday life, everyone should have a gran like her it would scare your parents to leave you with her and her stories
Her name isn't Pandora.
@@fintonmainz7845 Ah, I see what you did there.
One of a few people you wish she lived for a 1000 years. Phenomenal entertainer.
I've just read her book called "This much is true". It's absolutely one of thee best books I have ever read, absolutely brilliant. Bought mine on ebay. Anyone who is a fan of Miriam must read this hilarious book. 😂💜
That was an awesome Maggie Smith impression, don't know how I've never seen it before.
It's so refreshing to see you both thoroughly enjoying our comedy, and mentioning the late great Sean had me sold. I'll be watching more of your video. Thank you!
It's a joy to watch her. An incredibly talented woman who makes today's young people blush with her candor. A breath of fresh air in a society where we lie and pretend all day.
Miriam is an absolute joy. Blunt but with no malice.
Glad you've finally 'met' the utter legend that is Miriam Margolyes! And yes, there are more clips of her on this show. In fact, pretty much anything on the Graham Norton Show is gold - he's probably the top talk show host we have in the UK. All the most famous celebrities love being on it, because he treats the whole thing like a party, where all the guests sit on the sofa together and chat with each other. Graham balances it all perfectly; unlike many other chat show hosts, he's happy to step back and let the guests be the stars, by dropping a (VERY well-researched) nugget of info about each star and then letting them riff on that with all the other guests.
I'd say he was the best anywhere in the world. I'm from Australia and his is the only celebrity talk show I like!
He is a one of a kind tv host interviewer, possibly the best on the planet at the moment.
He makes me proud to be Irish ..... he's a legend!!
@@pauline8987 Indeed. He's a great Irish broadcaster.
He also mixes the guests well, June Brown and Lady Gaga was a classic
Allowing them to drink alcohol has led to some interesting moments like a drunken Mark Wahlberg sitting on Graham's lap or Matt Damon stating "this is the best chat show I've ever been on"
This made me laugh so so much. I love Miriam and I’ve seen all these interviews before but it was much funnier with these two American guys watching, I can only assume American tv is much more filtered than here in the UK. She is hilariously crude and entertaining but it’s really because she’s posh and educated, most people don’t sound like that here, she is relatable to ordinary people and I think that’s why she is so popular. She is of course, tremendously talented too.
Love this lady. Ya can't beat British humour. Did I ever need this today. Crying with laughter.
Graham Norton is the best chat show host. All the guest out together and mixing, it's always great fun and there are loads of great compilations to watch on UA-cam
Can confirm Miriam's Scottish (Glaswegian) accent is 100% accurate & believable.
What an absolute character! :)
p.s. can also confirm you see some mad sh1t at night in the Meadows in Edinburgh during the Festival!! LOL
I work in home care and one of our clients is just like Miriam whenever I come out of her house I am crying with laughter
The trio with Will I am. Those guys were great together, proper bounced off eachother
Really Worth checking out her appearances in Blackadder as the Spanish Enfanta in Season 1, then as Blackadder 's Religious Extremist Aunt in Season 2 and as Queen Victoria in the Christmas Special, Blackadder's Christmas Carol. She's absolutely hilarious in those. Love her xxx
Loved he in Call the Midwife too!
"Don't you get it it sounds like fff"
Wicked child
Translator: "Oh my love .... my quick little caterpillar""
Jim Broadbent as the translator in the Spanish infanta is hilarious too. And then they both became teachers at Hogwarts.
Out-Chandlered Chalndler, effortlessly funny, perfect timing, GREAT storyteller. 90% of stand up's wish to be what she is.
Don’t find chandler funny at all unless they have a script
Her Scottish accent was amazing. We are soooo friendly here. Love from Bonnie Scotland ❤️
Her Dad was Scottish, her and Alan Cummings were on TV in a camper van driving through Scotland, that's a great watch too
I spent a week in Glasgow. The friendly locals fought running battles on the streets every night. Fighting each other, and fighting police
@@danganbeg7225 you'll not be back then lol 😆
Long term UK subscriber… first time comment…
One of your best reactions gentlemen… thank you. You’re increasingly starting to respond/react just like most of us natives in this one.
She is completely world class - and in the UK, whilst she’s a national treasure, we celebrate our stars with a quiet wink and a huge belly laugh.
Really glad you found one of our gems and that you clearly enjoyed it!
Crack on!! 😊
The story of giving the soldier a helping hand, was continued in her book, where she details that just after doing it, she turns round and sees a friend from her university days, and did the same for him.
X) She has lived
Miriam travelled the outback in Australia a few years ago and met with indigenous aboriginals, including the trans community.
She is so well loved even if a little brash
Miriam Margoyles is one of the nicest, funniest woman EVER to be on any chat show. No filter
Miriam is a class act. Brilliant actor and 82 now.
Guys Miriam is our UK treasure. Whatever show you watch she is so amazing and fun and true. Miriam never lies she is the truth. Embrace her she is beautiful and fun and great.
I love the way her Maggie Smith voice is 100% accurate - accent, tone, lack of clarity - just brilliant.
Actually, Miriam's surname is pronounced (Mar-go-leez). She is one of the funniest women of all time. Miriam played Professor Sprout in 3 Harry Potter's films, Yentl, Little Shop of Horrors, End of Days and many more. She's one of a kind, special, intelligent, sweet and funny as hell. Love, love, love her!
This lady is a National Treasure as is graham Norton
She has no filters ❤
Miriam is a living legend 🙌🏻 when people in the UK talk about ‘dream dinner party guests, dead or alive’ Miriam nearly always shows up on these lists. She’s definitely on mine.
maggie smith was the mother superior in sister act, i love this video, well done guys, cant wait for the next one xx
I wish everyone could grow up to be Miriam Margolyes ! The world would be a kinder place.
Our beloved miriam knows exactly what she is doing. Very intelligent woman. We love her.
She is such a genius woman, fabulous fun, and an extrordinary actress, a national treasure.
@@philjones45 Speak your mind Phil,you’re a national treasure 👍🏻
Yes considering the tension from the black people at the beginning of the interview with Will I Am. He just totally warms to her and she him. Its adorable, even when he obviously can't believe he made the rain joke, she still beat him with the end of the story.
The Miriam/Will I Am episode could possibly be the greatest thing that has aired on television in history.
There’s often a musical guest towards the end of the show and after they sing a song, they join the other guests on the couch, usually on the end.
Miriam is a true star 🌟. We must treasure and protect her always ❤ 💖
After a rough few days I’ve watched this and cried with laughter. Miriam is amazing but I loved your reactions too.
Oh laughter is the best medicine x
Hope you are on your way up after those rough few days. One stranger to another.
@@gordanau8290 thank you so much for your kind words. This human really appreciates your kindness.
Sadly our fur baby died suddenly the day before yesterday and it knocked us all back. I think it’s just one of those things that you can get a cluster of stress/distress followed by calm. I’m really looking forward to the calm. I may watch another MM - she’s outrageous but we do love her and it’s hard not to laugh at how she behaves xx
I agree their reactions are great, rarely do you see Daniel trying to catch his breath (Spence is always. Give me a second!!) Love how they both get her though. Has she been on WILTY cos every story would be true 🤣
Her timing is perfect and she can tell stories just with her expressions
your reaction to the 'stage door' was priceless. this woman is being who she is. it is not an act. she is great.
Miriam's surname is pronounced "Margolees" it rhymes with "fleas". She is a national treasure. Look for her telling the story about "frotting" it's fabulously funny.
Was waiting for the creaming of the knickers to see your reaction, was as expected.
The bloke on the far right on the last part was Adam Lambert, he has done a few tours singing with Queen.
this reminds me of my grand mother who spoke the way as Miriam's who was out walking around a lake once a flasher flashed her and she said "is that all you have darling" 😂😂 love that strength and humour!
She should have said, "No thanks, I smoke my own"
I love her, no filter and no fecks given.
No bullshit, just fun! (It's pronounced mar - go - lees)
This is one reason I am proud to be British, our sense of humour, we have no filter, tell it how it is, and can take the p-ss out of ourselves.
Most americans could use a better sense of humor. As an American i've developed a chronic sense of humor for a reason...it makes life better and easier to get through.
I'm Aussie our humour is exactly the same as British. That's why we get each other like no other countries do.
@@louise7552 Graham Norton is Irish.
She is a lovable, adored, eccentric old dear, and we Brits love her, as she is hilarious and true to herself 💕 a national treasure 💕
This woman is brutally honest and I love her and she has no filter and I can relate! She's so naturally funny Human!
Miriam is exactly the same in real life, I helped her in Ikea once because she's too short to reach anything
The guy on the right of the screen in the last clip is Adam Lambert in 2012 on his second trip to the UK after American Idol 2009 and just before his first tour as frontman of Queen. His "I'm going to be offended" comment was a quip at the offence to American audiences that his AMA performance in which he kissed his male guitarist had caused. He was the music guest that night (the music guest always sits on the sofa at the end of the show). Though he knew Will from a few years before, he didn't know what had hit him with Miriam's humour. Ten years of touring with Queen have tuned him into British humour. He was better equipped for his next encounter with Ms Margolyes!
It's wonderful that you've discovered British humor, Graham Norton, and Miriam. As an Australian, this is what I've grown up with.
Maggie Smith was in Sister Act. She's been a stage actor since the 1950s, but in movies only since the late 60s (she won the Best Actress Oscar for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in 1969).
Have beeen waiting an eternity for you guys to get round to Miriam - and you didn't disappont! She's a class act and one in a million. Thanks for brightening up my day! 😂😂😂🍻
Miriam is one of Graham Norton’s best ever guests and everybody knows the show will be good when she is appearing. As is Greg Davies (the tall guy with Miriam and Will.I.am) There are a few collections of his appearances with Graham - another good one to check out
This is the third time I’ve watched this reaction and I still think I’ll watch it again I’m sure
A most fantastic lady,now she’s over 80 she’s just the same amazing 🌸
🏴miriam is a national treasure we all lov her ❤& they guys on the chat shows know she's a great guest to have on WE LOVE HER 💌☮️💯💞🏴
The episode with Will and Greg is one of the best ever chat show moments, definitely worth watching the whole thing.
As a scot, she is going for a friendly "old person" highland voice. There are types that are not so much and as a scot I can tell the class from how they speak. I must say too, her accent was very good.
???
Yeh my nieces and nephews Scottish accents are softer and friendly. Then I used to have a neighbour that had such a strong thick accent, that I struggled to understand as a kid. I only understood when he said aye. 😂
Highland voice?? It was more a Glaswegin accent and a really good one.
She is SO funny, SO fantastic.
Love, love, love her ❤️
I'm from Denmark, so we have the same kind of humor
The real marigold hotel series (Miriam and other British famous pensioners) travel to Florida, China and India looking at the retirement options and honestly she’s hilarious in that as well so need to watch those episodes.
