I have to say that she held her own quite well. I was pleasantly surprised.
She had poise and looked relaxed. She was intelligent and articulate.
Good for you Chazzer! Gave your public image a boost.

Missed the programme. What did the pensioner do?
Didn't catch it all but it seemed like "celebrities court publicity so they deserve everything they get" in regards to hacking, and then when Charlotte detailed the members of her family and friends who had been hacked just to get to her, some really nasty stuff, dismissed it with a throwaway comment like " if they/you had have been stronger you would have got through it"
That's not exactly right but the something like that, I am prepared to be corrected.
Agreed, what was the point of the old prune being there?:rolleyes:
I didn't see the whole programme but agree, she was better than many "professionals" like politicians and journalists. Some people are too quick to dismiss entertainers on programmes like Question Time, some are poor as are also many "professionals" but some entertainers have been excellent speakers on that type of programme.
The Mail has a piece on it

The elderly lady did seem to have a very twisted viewpoint
So that justifies hacking their phones.....ok then.
I am sorry but the woman in the audience has no "point" at all.
Certainly some "celebrities" do court publicity, especially from the tabloid end of the market, however that does no justify the illegal activities of journalists in order to obtain a story, even more so if the person who is the victim of the illegal activity becomes a target simply because they are a friend or a relative.
I agree, since she has sorted her life out she always comes across as articulate and intelligent.
I think she came across well on the other subjects spoken about on the show, especially the Rotherham/UKIP story
Not just their phones but all their friends' and relatives' phones according to the old lady.
Probably a good decision becuase he was a total numpty.
I too thought she did well and had to laugh at that granny's comments
^^ Exactly this ^^
I remember when she was on Have I Got News For You and was surprised what a great presenter she was at such a young age.
So you think it is quite reasonable for the media to harass, hack etc any relatives or acquaintances of the celebrity? Would the elderly lady think the same if she had a celebrity living next to her and so found the press in her garden peering over the hedge and perhaps even hacking her phone in case she got a call from the celebrity.
What about Denholm Elliot's daughter who was a drug addict and beggar when a jouranist 'finally' tracked her down (he heard that the daughter of an actor was in a bad way and went out of his way to track her down) he paid her for sex for the sole purpose that he could 'do a number on her' (in his own words) by naming her as a prostitute in his headline/article.
Did Denholm Elliot's daughter ask or deserve that?
Freedom of speech in the UK was consigned to history years ago. Now it seems freedom of the press will be joining it soon.
To be fair, Hugh Grant has led this campaign. I don't think that Charlotte Church would be on Question Time if it wasn't for the stuff that Hugh Grant did beforehand.
