Patricia Routledge is now 94, the same age as her Aunty Annie when she washed up and laid down on the sofa to die. I hope Ms Routledge is in good health and that she is around to make the world a better place for many more years.

DAME Patricia, my man, is today 95, her birthday is on the 17th February. I am going to work with her. I always say if you want something to happen you have to make it happen.

My goodness. A public figure who can speak clearly, grammatically, intelligently and wittily. No, like, sort of, you know or any vulgarities. Wonderful lady.

Yes, I agree. Many presenters and interviews are sloppy these days. I hate they way the cut over each when they speak as well.

Patricia Routledge is so classy, elegant and well spoken.

A star. A great actress of boundless talent and great sense.

Listen to her sing.She is absolutely 💯 amazing

Now Dame Patricia Routledge and still alive at 92

What a wonderful lady. Articulate, intelligent and funny! Fabulous.

What a lady, what a talent, what class, and interviewed by one of the greats of his profession - tv gold.

I do kinda wish the phone had rung on set just to hear her answer it one more time. And then to hear her tell Richard to call the Chinese embassy to stop all the wrong numbers for chinese take-away. She was always so delightfully out of touch!

My favorite actor, Patricia Routledge. I would rather listen to her take on life and share her experiences than to watch the best movie that could be made. It was obvious that this gentleman feels the same way.

I've watched both Keeping Up Appearances and Hetty Wainthropp. Phenomenal actor with impeccable timing.

Silence of the audience says it all. Absolute legend 👏

I love to hear her talking. That accent sounds so classy, and so refined

Love Patricia Routledge, and she´s brilliant as Hyacinth. I can also highly recommed her in a Woman of No Importance here on youtube. She´s such a versatile actress and seems like a lovely lady!

Too bad the interview was so short! Apart from her brilliance, the format of the interview was also very interesting. He asked meaningful questions and she was allowed to give detailed responses. They didn't speak in soundbites, they didn't speak over each other, and they didn't want to come across as the funniest people on earth. If only we still had a life so well paced still.

What fabulous and intellectual answers-off the cuff. Such a remarkable lady x

I can literally SEE every word she says. So intelligent, so articulate, so capable of infusing everything with a special layer of meaning.

In another interview she'd considered becoming an English teacher. Listening to her in this interview... believe she'd have been very inspiring to children. What a wonderful way of describing acting .. " a physicalisation of the imagination".

This is the depth and space that a talk show should allow and explore. Wonderful lady and an expert host.

The most wonderful interview, such as intelligence, a joy.

What a great lady! So gracious, so intelligent, so kind and personable.

Faultless. The Alan Bennett Talking Heads monologues have to be my all time favourites.

A wonderful, classically trained singer and actress who was academically bright, and whose love of the English language has made her a force to be reckoned with. Her Bennett monologues were mesmerising, and every part she touches she fills with life and credibility. Her diction and delivery are superb. My admiration for yet another northern woman with character and gravitas...knows no bounds. Wonderful woman.

Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands! 🇳🇱

I always loved watching Keeping up appearances. She is a delight to watch with Parkinson.

Parkinson always was the best interviewer - ask a question and let the guest answer it without interruption or making it about himself. The lovely Dame Patricia Routledge was a perfect guest. Certainly a little Hyacinth coming through.

As soon as she walks out you can see she is very confident on a stage. Looks at the audience and engages.

I really didn't want this interview to end. I was Spellbound . What a completely deep person Patricia is. She always shy's away from Mrs Bucket for some reason. She doesn't want to be remembered by that monster she calls her, however she played the part perfectly and even today is timeless.

Sad that actors see what might be a silly character as upstaging and diminishing their full body of work..but when the role is so expertly done it reaches the level of possibly top 5 greatest comedic roles of all time they should celebrate it for what genius it is - despite the simplicity of it.

@@DRthistle fully agree David. They wanted to do a further series and she refused, to do Hetty Wainthrop which nowadays no one really remembers but Mrs Bucket will always be remembered. I am really pleased that she did so many episodes that are timeless . As an actor she follows her own path like 2 weeks in Coronation Street. Any actor in 1962 would have grabbed that role with both hands and embraced it but Patricia had other ideas. I really hope Patricia doesn't eat lunch , wash up and tidy up and lie down and go to her reward at 94. I really don't.

Fantastic woman, absolutely compulsive viewing. I for one am so glad she didn’t marry, just imagine all the entertainment we would have missed.

I love Her. What an amazing actress she is.

Never knew Dame Patricia Rutledge was in Coranation Street. She was foxy lady when she younger.

Such a wonderful actress and even more fabulous person.Loved her as Hyacinth and Hetty.

She did not want to be typecasted. She is very posh.. so when she was Hyacinth, she was able to overextend herself. But that is acting. She was phenomenal in that show, and it was the Queen mothers favorite show. She loved it, and that’s why Queen Elizabeth adored her.

Fabulous Lady. A complete class act.

Incredibly talented...and so much more.

I love this lady. I discovered her on Keeping up Appearances. I then found her playing Hetty Wainthropp and I wished they had made more episodes of that. She is a joy to watch, I love her personality and wish I could just give her a big hug.

Highly intelligent and so well spoken. Love listening to her. Watched Keeping Up Appearances judiciously. She is the best!

Dame Patricia Routledge. A TRUE national treasure ✨

I first saw her in a small part in TO SIR WITH LOVE. One of my favorite movies still after all these decades.

Amazing woman, a real British gem

Went to see my grandma in hospital after the match, so it comes from a very specific time in my life.

Delightful, legendary, kind and super talented. Dame Patricia has presence, but unlike Hyacinth Bucket, not in an overbearing way. She speaks with intelligence and wit and paints great images with her words. One of this country’s finest ever performers.

Such a classy lady absolutely adored this series wasn’t she amazing?❤️❤️

Always well-spoken, thoughtful, and completely *herself* . Watching her in action over the years has informed my own writing, as she is a master at bringing to life someone else’s writing. Incredible woman.

Nice interview. Pity she didn't talk a little more about keeping up appearances. She came to the local Galway Fillm fleadh (festival) and charmed everyone with the talk she gave. Think she was a guest and promoting a film she was in at the time.

What a wonderful way she has at describing things. Not just acting, to me but many of life's encounters and goals one wants to achieve.

She lives in chichester, near me. Still articulate and a lovely member of the community, even tho she is in her later years now.

I dearly love Dame Patricia Routledge. What a lovely, colourful, delightful women. I just love her.

she is a legend allways will be

What a wonderful human being. Enthralling, talented, entertaining, just delightful.

Absolute legends. The pair of them.

I love this lady. A fantastic actress. Great all rounder and the funniest lady when she wants to be. God Bless Patricia Routledge with lots more healthy years to enjoy her retirement

I'm just loving Hetty Wainthrop. And I just found out she was in numerous Broadway musicals, and has a superb voice!

Wonderful interview. She is probably my most favorite actress. I don't know though if I would ask a woman her age why she never married. That's a bit to personal a question for a TV interview. She handled it well though and moved on to the rest of the interview.

I'm so fortunate to have discovered this wonderful actor's work. I enjoy it very much.

A friend of mine was a Guardianship Representative. She worked with mostly seniors, and went to meet the first time with s 90 year old woman, residing in a nursing home. She appeared in pumps, suit, gloves, pearls at her neck, and her purse. During the course of their first meeting she asked this lovely old lady, why she’d never married? She said “Well it’s like this, if I’d known that the last guy who asked me to marry him, was going to be the LAST guy to ask me to marry him, I might have said YES!” Perhaps this was the case with Patricia! What a lovely woman!

What a great actress. I love all her work. God bless you Patricia
