I loved her in Vicar of Dibley

[@erinmalone2669]

Dawn is. A treasure.❤ So many great projects and characters.

[@jsb331]

Whenever I need a lift, I watch Dawn's clips as Catherine Zeta Douglas Spartacus Jones.

[@TayWoode]

Hello campers, I love blinking I do

[@jas1049]

I have always loved Dawn French - She has such a lovely way about her and is such a gifted comedian.

[@Nunov103]

I wish she and Jennifer could do at least one more French & Saunders special, they are the funniest comedians in the world :)

[@thomas79marshall]

not even close

[@fizzedupslade4082]

Well, can't wait till she's back on screen. Go Dawn. ♥

[@thegrumblesquad4949]

I LOVE DAWN FRENCH

[@SGALAXIA]

French, Saunders & Catherine Tate Holy Comedy Trinity 🙌🏽

[@Jimmy_one67]

And Julia Davis

[@ClarkRahman]

I wish Dawn caught on more in the US, I feel robbed of more Late Night talk show segments she would have made iconic.

[@Michelle-iz5bh]

Her and Jennifer’s Podcast on Audible is so good, 5 series of absolute joy, it’s called Titting About.

[@jsb331]

Come on! *Nobody* in that movie can sing but the Great Christine Baranski!

[@TheRuben_music]

LOVE YOU DAWN!
Love from Norway!
Fan since 1997

[@lucyroberts2800]

Have loved her since the girls on top longtime fan 😻

[@PeppermintPatty1405]

She is adorable!!!!

[@stephenjohnson9560]

Can't help thinking of the late Victoria Wood, she would have done a great sketch of this.

[@kerrystephens-qp8yl]

I read it is the best bunch of laughs. Thanks

[@hibbiea8841]

She is Kizzie and Miss Parkway from Merlin The Magical Puppy

[@benwakefield93]

The Darcey Bussell dance was in The Vicar of Dibley, not French and Saunders

[@jen6879]

There was also a sketch with Darcey Bussell on French & Saunders as well so she’s probably getting mixed up with that.

[@benwakefield93]

@@jen6879 fair enough. I withdraw my objection 😅

[@MrsJaggy]

Was originally a sketch on French and Saunders

[@benwakefield93]

@MrsJaggy I know. That's literally what the first reply says 🤣

[@MrsJaggy]

@@benwakefield93 🤣 sorry posted without reading lol

[@frankbijnens929]

❤ her

[@POObumpoopo]

I wonder what it was in the sketch that bothered her.

[@colormeinfluenced6997]

Lorraine never met a pause she didn’t fill.

[@GoodGolly.MissLolly]

In my dreams I’m second best friends with Dawn and Jennifer 🩵

[@glenjohnson6009]

Oh, new sitcom?

[@peterang6912]

Why blur the foto's.. are they so poor??

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

[@peterang6912]

@@rtfazeberdee3519 yes, i know, that's why i said "are they so poor"

[@tl1110]

@@peterang6912 And it's photos. You're welcome! 😜

[@ticketyboo2456]

Oh dear Lorraine had her own tw*t moment when she confused the shiw French and Saunders with The Vicar of Dibley... awkward😂

[@d.b.2812]

Blurry photos! What's with that?

[@sweetmusic3821]

Copyright issues

[@SuperEmmitt1]

It's hard to believe anyone sang worse than Julie Walters.

[@Shane-Flanagan]

I read that as Julie Andrews 😅

[@66FitzJohn]

Is this a French and Saunders skit , Like for real?

[@1969Kismet]

Dawn French hints at a new sitcom and she's cut short? Well, daytime tv got very pretentious there.

[@sibionic]

Lorraine is SO annoying, borderline sycophancy and prattle even when the guest is talking.

[@gill2689]

@sibionic...I agree with all that apart from borderline.

[@skimmingstone3energyrecords]

Awful Television.

[@garyfrancis6193]

Never heard of it and don’t care.

[@73kdt]

Is it because they finally realised there actually not that funny?

[@TayWoode]

Sounds like Nish Kumar, James Acaster and Russell Howard are more your style?

[@73kdt]

@@TayWoode No none of them. I loved Sean Lock. ♥️

[@TayWoode]

@@73kdt haha yes! I love Sean Lock, I was actually just listening to one of his stand ups a couple of days ago while I was cleaning the house, I had to keep rewinding it coz I was laughing

[@73kdt]

@@TayWoode ♥️ He was a very funny man. I loved how he could come up with a story instantly. Especially when he was on countdown. His stand up was brilliant I wish I had seen him live.

[@ogopogo6236]

Wish she'd quit tv for good.

[@dougie1968]

Only a luvvie needing a cash injection can get away with publishing a book on vapid vignettes that only amuses their ego.

[@philipcollins218]

Did the gastric band explode?

[@scented-leafpelargonium3366]

@philipcollins218 : Like your mouth. 🤐

[@lisasommerlad1337]

Please don’t say ‘oftentimes’. It’s bad enough that Americans do it.
