She is very popular, she had her own TV show, sung bond themes, it's not just about what one person likes or dislikes. But the many.

you'd think they'd have dueted a lot over the decades being the pre-eminent Welsh pop stars I wonder if they didn't like each other.............

Yeah, why would the BBC want to do a Christmas Eve show featuring a DAME who has appeal across many generations, is the only singer to sing more than one Bond theme, is still releasing music, has had several different styles across the years and is still being courted by producers, and can sell out the Royal Albert Hall at the age of 80. Why would they want to do a show around that - I really can't see why!
Such a moronic comment. I dispair " one person" doesn't like it, and so as they do not personally like it, no one else is allowed to, and they think the whole BBC is therefore on drugs! Says more about the poster. |

Dame Shirl is a gay icon, you'd think the BBC would have selected a gay man to host this brown nosing waste of licence payers money.

David Walliams is so bad interviewing her. There is an awkward silence when he asks her a question. They should have got a more experienced person to interview her.

David Walliams is cringe making! might have been better without the sketches and as a more factual documentary about her career illustrated with clips maybe with a concert to follow |

I'm enjoying the Shirley Bassey parts, but the David Walliams sketches are really grating - his gay/camp persona does get irritating after a while.

'I am what I am' is a gay anthem for the drag queens out there.

this is a bit of a mish mash
might have been better without the sketches and as a more factual documentary about her career illustrated with clips maybe with a concert to follow They did this a few years ago, possibly for her 75th birthday. It was really interesting and showed how businesslike she is about her career and how seriously she takes looking after her voice. No idea if it is on YouTube. |
