Oh Dear. Not much fun for you in the future then.
If you seriously think that's an acceptable way to behave, you live in a vile world.

You live in it too. Change it if you don't like it.

Miriam is really making me switch off
She really is the most vulgar woman, it's not witty or clever, I really find her repulsive.

Can't change the mind of miserable bigots, and quite frankly I've got better things to do.

I'm only near the beginning of it, it's like living at a posher Butlins. I can't believe that woman moved there where she was just 52.

If you think that she acted in an acceptable way, you need help. She was worse than Clarkson at his best. She spouted hatred on air on the BBC.

Those retirement communities looked like something out of The Stepford Wives. And why if they were supposedly secure did one resident have about 15 guns?!

They did this in India first if I recall and I found it impossible to watch because of Margolyes which meant I didn't even bother trying to watch it this time which is a shame.

Absolute disgraceful behaviour from Miriam. Who on earth does she thinks she is/ represent?
As another poster said if it had been Clarkson and crew they would have had to issue an apology Their sin was a car number plate..
Miriam insulted the hosts of the retirement home- regardless of what is thought about their way of life. Hitler/ / Jews/ Trump all thrown in from a so called celebrity.
Who is she anyway. what is she "famous " for .
Wish there was a series in Saudi / North Korea wonder how she would behave then?
Visiting a democratic country with free speech does not give the visitor an entitlement to aggressive and rude to the hosts.
Will be too late to erase her from the rest of the series. It was in such bad taste and whoever in the BBC allowed this to go ahead needs sacking.

The only other times I watched her before last night was in Black Adder and Stand up Virgin Soldiers. I had no idea she was such a vitriolic,angry person. Even her co hosts seem embarrassed by her.

She has ruined what could have been a very entertaining series.

How does she get away with it?

If I see that Miriam Margolyes is in a programme that I avoid it as I know what to expect.

She is a disgusting women. I have been saying for years what a nasty person she is well known to be "away" from the camera and her true persona was there for all to see on the show. She has got away with her shtick the last few years of playing the batty old aunt on chat shows and purposely craving attention by being vulgar on every single appearence. She repulses me and ruins every show she is on.

I saw a snatch of Miriam mid-rant and that was quite enough for me.
So far we've had the 'sighing' over Trump (3 times I think) in Outnumbered, the luvvies on their anti-Republican mission in 'Real Marigold' and Alan Bennett's moaning about Brexit in his 'Diaries' programme*. All of these on the BBC. Do they think they can change public opinion with this not-very-subtle drip effect?


*An excellent programme and quite moving in parts until he added his off-colour post-script.

America is a really scary place. I have no idea why anyone would want to visit there.

Have you never been to Orlando?

It's a good holiday destination in my opinion. Universal Studios is so much better than the English theme-parks.

She has 162 acting credits to her name.

I must admit I was cringing over much of what she was saying. Had to laugh about the bacon, tho!😁

That made me laugh- not only a gun, but sub-machine guns etc.
Talk about overkill etc

Hear hear, well said. I didn't think she was too bad in the previous shows but thought she was absolutely vile last night. How on earth she was allowed by the BBC to get away with her racist, anti American views ("oh look at all those awful flags") was quite extraordinary.
Poor old Clarkson would have been pilloried to death by the media and in here, if he had have had a similar rant.

I must have been watching something different.

It seems odd that none of the people complaining about Margolyes make any reference to the fact that it was Mr "I've paid my dues" who started the row by attacking another resident of Millionaire Butlins and claiming that she had no right to express anti-Trump views. He did this with plenty of finger pointing and barely suppressed aggression. That was when Miriam interjected and went rogue.

Not saying what Miriam did was right, but that man was nasty and I don't care what he did in the army - that does not give him the right to try and shut down anyone who has views which differ from his.

Miriam responded in kind - not something I have ever favoured, but still a response to his aggression, not just conjured out of mid-air without reason.

When was she racist?

American isn't a race is it?

Indeed, and we now have the gay lobby getting hysterical over a schoolboy joke about an ice-cream. Yet so far I've heard no comments (beyond this forum) about the Marigold unpleasantness.

I found it odd that during the slanging match with the rich old man, Mirium was shouting with a pronounced American accent. Did she think it added gravitas, I wonder. Still, at least he may not have cottoned on that she was from the UK, saving us some embarrassment at least.

There is a saying 'beauty is as beauty does' and if that awful woman would ever stop to wonder why others think her ugly, then she would have her answer there.

What a horrid old woman Miriam Margoyles is! I also suspect she was sorely disappointed when no-one at the community shuddered with disapproval when she announced that she was gay. I feel bad for Rosemary having to be in her company, she does seem to have it in for her with her nasty digs and snidey comments to the camera. Can she get any further up her own backside? And she wonders why people call her ugly, at a guess I'd say it's not because of her looks. The others are great though!
