First time I've heard her son speak, he looks nothing like her!
I think the resemblance is quite striking, actually--particularly around the eyes and mouth. The way he talks is just like Joanna. :D
I agree. I definitely see the family resemblance :D

On 'Children In Need Top 50 Moments' part 2 (numbers 20 to 1) on BBC3, there was the clip from the 1983 Children In Need night where Joanna strips down to her undies.

It could be repeated tonight or tomorrow.

[edit - the complete top 50 is on at 9pm and 2.10am tonight. And just the top 20 is repeated tomorrow at 7pm and 2.15am. All on BBC3. Joanna's clip is something like number 11, 10 or 8.]

End of the road for the ex immigration minister who argued with Joanna over the Ghurkas:

The moral of the tale is: don't mess with the Lumster.

Phil Woolas' recent woes have nothing to do with Joanna Lumley and the Ghurka campaign. This is quite a seperate issue.

Indeed, if there is any wish to discuss this further I will split that part of this thread off into a separate thread.

Just nice to draw a line under it and know that Joanna was proved right - Woolas's prejudice against the ghurkas turns out to be general prejudice (not really ideal for an immigration minister, I'd have thought).
