What follows is a clash for the ages between the two writing heavyweights, with barbed comments, outright insults and back-handed compliments galore.
Poor Ed Asner doesn't know what to do with himself.

Who's here from Contrapoints
Me!
Who's here from Drag Race UK?
Lol yup 😂
Barbara Cartland, by the looks of it?
I’ve watched this a few times and I’m back again. I love how Jackie respectfully dragged Barbara
Her being 86 years old and talking about old people as if she isn’t one 😂 also she greatly overestimated the impact of romance and erotic novels on society.
the contra has pointed us here
Who's here because of Ginger Johnson?
I have read Jackie Collins book for years since i was 13, many of them helped me through dark times, Barbra books are old fashioned love innocent and 'proper' Jackie's book allow people to explore having love romantically but also with one self. She writes strong characters like Lucky Santangelo whos not only strong but also finds love. Team Jackie all the way.
I don't think I ever read anything these ladies wrote but I do remember their popularity. Their names and writings were prominent in US bookstores.
You can tell that Cartland thinks herself socially superior to Jackie. Just the accent and demeanor.
Barbara is like someone out of the 18th century
Is that supposed to be an insult?
Jackie was great. Cheeky little laugh too
I really laughed when she talked about The Stud being disgusting, keeping her awake all night! Jackie' was very gracious I feel, and defended herself well. I'd love to ask Barbara what positive influences her books have had on society?
Jackie wins hands down🏆
Ive read them both...
Collins keeps you turning those pages. Collins had more class in this situation.
You don't get audience GENUINELY cheering like that at the end of a Chat Show today!
She's off her trolly, but you've got to love Dame Barbara Cartland.
Barbara was a force of nature! Read up about her...what a life!
Barbara Cartland the Karen of romance novels
you have a one dimensional view of what a karen is.. and even that is eroneous.
you'll want to come back to me with some single trite progressive insulting soundbite maybe.
@@beakfordclakington1337what is a Karen? I keep seeing this name all over the place
@@beakfordclakington1337 oh come on, that was hilarious!! 🤣
@@DeepScreenAnalysis A Karen is a mostly American term for a certain type of often middle aged, conservative woman, usually bigoted, self entitled and one that always wants to complain to the manager. I'd say Christopher's original comment was pretty spot on 👍
Don’t you dare!
They don't make entertaining chat shows like this anymore - because there's no entertaining celebs anymore!
❤️ Dame Barbara Cartland grew up reading her novels.
Barbara was a character, but Jackie was a much better author. Barbara Cartland’s books were florid, badly written romances that were repetitive and where sex happened to the female characters, with them basically being inanimate objects. Jackie Collins created sexually dominant and sex craving women, who didn’t let men push them around and where women held the power. Many women were rescued from horrible relationships thanks to the strength they found from her novels, where they realised how badly they had been treated by men.
Exactly and everyone says Barbra was preserving “the morals and standards of her time” well society moved on for a reason.
Jackie was brilliant
Jackie for the win.
Terry Wogan doesn’t know what to say 😂
How many pages?
Publish!
Chapter One! - THE END!
little britain?
“Do you know the bible?” said Lord Harper 😂😂
Out of all those there - you wouldn't have thought that the guy on the left would have been around the longest! (until only a couple of years ago!)
Age wise, Barbara was around longer, living to 98. Ed Asner, the one on the left, lived to 91.
Cartlands makeup and dress sense is offensive
mother brought me here, and i hate it lol
When the book is only about sex it’s not about romance after the sexual encounter. Lust isn’t romantic. Lust doesn’t bring tears to your eyes and it isn’t memorable.
“The British aren’t coming! The British aren’t coming!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Barbara Cartland is hurting my eyes !
thats not an argument at least
🤣🤣🤣
Ginger Johnson!
Oh, Barbara. I can only imagine what side of history this clown makeup would on today...
Love Barbara Cartland! Barbara rules! So iconic.
What did she dress like a 90 yo drag queen?
Babera is right about something nasty being seen can't be unseen. But I wouldn't say Jacky write anything horrendous. Ther w m7h wire happening in my primary school. That can't be unseen. That's why I have the worst ocd. It's not m6 fault but I'm bullied for having a tortured soul.
SUCH A COW/////
I've not read either but know that Jackie's books have nothing to do with love. Barbara writes about love but in the most innocent of ways.
I read Barbara Cartland's novels as a teenager and they were very romantic in the Cinderella sense; very proper in the Victorian way, which, given her age, was very understandable. Formulaic though: rich, handsome, titled gentleman with a commanding presence who can have any woman instead falls for the sweet, virginal, and intelligent girl who is well below his social station, but is his superior in virtue. They inspired young women to be good, and wise, and - furthermore, what woman doesn't admire a man who has some of those qualities of confidence, ability, positive masculinity. If he loves such a woman, he has some wisdom, taste, and character, too. And you know she'd be the best influence on that character. Well, what's wrong with that? Cartland could rest at night, knowing she was doing her part, as an influencer, on the morals of youth. Well, in that time period, people acted eager to be naughty, they winked at impropriety, they revelled in shocking behavior, and it's only increased. It's gotten so dark and twisted. It WAS "evil" and she called it out. People love to put her down, but I salute her, she was a real lady.
There was wisdom in her words.
The permissive society has gone further than she ever would’ve thought possible
LOL you need to get out more.
Both women were right.
Cartland was ahead of her time wondering how what people consume affects their brain, very unfashionable at the time
Ahead of her time? It's just common sense.
Barbara ate her up and left no crumbs 😎
Old people? Ain't she old herself?...she kinda forgotten that she was 86 at the time born in 1901... ain't she close to Prehistoric era?
Jackie Collins read her to Filth... respectfully!
She was speaking about the person who gives in to old age instead of fighting to go on as she did! Lived it up till the end! What a lovely and wonderful lady!
