She's a good sport, really. Out of the 5 minutes, about 1 min spent talking about being a single parent, and the rest about her appearance and rumors about her getting a "lift" in a particular place. Her masterful handling of all sorts of difficult situations while remaining charming and positive are the source of her true appeal, and that's what shines through.
I love how she's giving a serious interview about serious topics but she still manages to involve a certain degree of humor. Really makes for an entertaining interview.
I saw that show years ago. It is very atmospheric. I remember the set of episodes about the ghosts in the train station. And yes, Joanna is ... well ... absolutely fabulous in it and she's a very purdey woman. 😀
I do, & always will, love this woman to bits. Not just for the way she did/does look, but because she's just an absolutely wonderful person; classless & unpretentious despite her 'Cheltenham Girls School' accent.
What she said about how we perceive beauty and that often times it's just brainwash from the media is so true. I see prettier/more handsome regular women and men than the so called misses xy and sexiest alive all the time and people dont even notice just b/c they're not hyped and famous. She's a real classic beauty though and humble about it.
I've always thought the same thing. Hearing her say it confirms it enough for me. I think the general public starts to worship celebrities they see in print and film.
I just love Joanna to bits. Really good actress, pretty lady. She's about as presentable and ladylike as any lady that walked Earth (in my opinion, even royals!) ever could attempt to be. And with such amazingly polished diction to show for it.
Joanna still is beautiful, all the way through to her heart and soul. She's a wonderful woman. I saw her completely disarm Clive Anderson on his show many years ago, he completely gave up his point-scoring tactics to just listen attentively to the intelligent, thoughtful woman he suddenly found she was. She did the same thing on the radio to Mark Lawson, by the end of the interview you could almost hear the puddle of adoration he had turned into dripping off his seat onto the floor.
What an excellent demonstration of how to deal with a stuttering, creepy misogynist, thank you, Joanna Done with such style. Never has an interviewer, managed to ask such banal questions of such interesting people, and he got away with it for so long.
Lumley puts quite a few human female circumstances into words! Wish I had seen this at the time... Goodness bless her, and thanks for sharing chatham43
So elegant. So charming and beautiful. So intelligent and witty. So kind and considerate. Such a lovely human being. I know she is a great actress to boot since she can transform herself into Patsy from AbFab. Amazing!
One of the most amazing genius comic fabulous now Dame are we so proud of this lady and all the comedy that she has created with an amazing talent? Thank you for being you 🌹 Joanne Lumley
This is fantastic! I'm a big fan of Sapphire and Steel, and the director once said in an interview that he was mortified when Joanna turned up to rehersals one day with all her hair chopped off (they ended up putting her in a wig). It looks like this interview took place around the time of the hair-cut crisis!
What can you say that hasn't been said before a million times. A completely unique human being. Around this time, maybe early eighties, she went through a really bad patch. No work, bringing up her son alone. I read recently she had a mental breakdown, but I have seen no details of it. It was about this time that you saw her regularly on Call My Bluff - just to get eating money, I suppose. I'm just so glad for her that things turned out so well.
It's weird but I've been watching Parkinson for 50 years, and yet the more I see of his interviews of women the more condescending I find him. Joanna was superb and so intelligent and articulate.
I think it’s indicative of a different time. I always liked his later career interviews as a female viewer. The show with Dame Edna, Sharon Osborne and Judi Dench is a favorite 😂
The reputation he has was entirely undeserved for half (give or take) of his career. The interview with a young Helen Mirren was appalling. I could not believe what I was seeing from supposed 'gentle old Parky'.
@@hansiesma16 hasn’t he recently said he was an alcoholic back in the day? Maybe that’s why he was coming across in a bad way. In the later years I always thought he sounded genuinely interested in his guests.
Old fashioned British officer bloodline, calm under fire, intelligent, with a dash of humour to instil confidence, for years they led with great skill, their success was not coincidental it took time to build. I hope we never loose these qualities they still exist. Joanna has them in spades.
Regardless of what she says, she would get plenty of second glances in a bakery or anywhere. She was “absolutely fabulous” then and she still is now in 2021.
Phew, a woman as rare as a hens tooth, everything in one package. Devastatingly gorgeous, intelligent, fun filled, self-deprecating and charming. Plus a hundred other attributes. One in a million, or possibly a billion.
Your incisive and imperishable comment has put me in a state. I'm now dreaming, on the edge and yes, sad to know it will never happen. But what a thought.
Could you please make the BBC Motion Gallery logo larger? I can still see part of her face sometimes, and it seems your objective is to hide the subject of your video.
She has a wonderful mind. So competent, rational, logical, inquisitive, warm, smart, wise. Even back then. She’s truly a remarkable human being.
I can see why PJ Hammond chose her to play Sapphire in the Sci-Fi show "Sapphire&Steel".
Her face is just so beautiful, even now at 70 she's still absolutely gorgeous. And intelligent and funny to boot.
This gorgeous woman is a model for all women, demure, well spoken and with a wicked sense of humour. An icon of Britain
Who's "all"😏
i agree
Although she was actually born in India!
So women should be demure?
And yet, she couldn't maintain a relationship.
Women aren't all they appear to be.
She is just wonderful in every way. She has the most beautiful voice.❤
She's a good sport, really. Out of the 5 minutes, about 1 min spent talking about being a single parent, and the rest about her appearance and rumors about her getting a "lift" in a particular place.

I love Joanna Lumley and her free spirit. So inspirational!
I love how she's giving a serious interview about serious topics but she still manages to involve a certain degree of humor. Really makes for an entertaining interview.
She's so beautiful, intelligent and gracious.
She's so elegantly witty, as well as luscious!!!
Joanna is such a sweetie. And now, apparently, a National Treasure.
Robert Price but not a Dame, which is SO wrong, Joanna should be up there as Queen of the Dames
If you've never seen her in Sapphire and Steel, you're missing out. Her acting in that show was amazing at times, she has real dramatic talent.
I saw that show years ago. It is very atmospheric. I remember the set of episodes about the ghosts in the train station. And yes, Joanna is ... well ... absolutely fabulous in it and she's a very purdey woman. 😀
Such a thoughtful, well-spoken lady. Very intelligent, gentle and self-deprecating. Just charming.
joanna is a classy lady and my role model she should have her own chat show on tv her voice is soothing
She did fill in for terry wogan for an episode and was very good in testing circumstances ruclips.net/video/v1iVdLSoIRY/видео.html
She done an interview with Ali Frazier and foreman
@@corinneaultt3556 done!!
You mean did !!!!!
She did .. and was completely out of her depth !
I do, & always will, love this woman to bits. Not just for the way she did/does look, but because she's just an absolutely wonderful person; classless & unpretentious despite her 'Cheltenham Girls School' accent.
I love her. Comedic genius. Lovely and most importantly very intelligent and down to earth.
What she said about how we perceive beauty and that often times it's just brainwash from the media is so true.

Joanna Lovely is one of my favourite people. I have so much respect and admiration for her for what she did for the Gurkhas.
Just being herself does so much for all of us.
So intelligent and well spoken!
much like Patsy

Hahaha yes they definitely try to one up her and find they are no match and she does it so charmingly.
Course she's beautiful....she's still gorgeous 35 years later!
She is very intelligent, no way you can deny it
This lovely lady is a national treasure ❤️ after all these years of entertaining us and her charity work, why isn't she Dame Joanna ?
Joanna looks amazing with Dark hair and this hairstyle suits her face shape.
just pure class always has been, she still is.
Classy graceful elegant... met her once in the street.. and she was so nice and friendly
She should do more voiceovers on tv just love her voice and she is a classy lady !
What an excellent demonstration of how to deal with a stuttering, creepy misogynist, thank you, Joanna Done with such style. Never has an interviewer, managed to ask such banal questions of such interesting people, and he got away with it for so long.
LOL I can't get over Parky's and Joanna's 70s hairdos, how fab are they! And the bum lifts thing, great stuff. Thanks for posting.
meet her once , for the record she doesn't walk , she floats. Ive never seen a woman move like it .
Oooh I love the seriousness of this topic in the 70s, compared to now where barely anyone's marrying. I love youtube time capsules
fell in love with this woman when I saw her in The New Avengers as Purdy.
mickeyh1961 me too. I was 6 though.
Got there before you 😂
The "everything" woman. Just perfect.
Lumley puts quite a few human female circumstances into words!
Wish I had seen this at the time...
Goodness bless her,
and thanks for sharing chatham43
So elegant. So charming and beautiful. So intelligent and witty. So kind and considerate. Such a lovely human being.

An absolutely beautifull lady. Just looking at her, those eyes, those lips, you know this woman gives great mind too.
One of the most amazing genius comic fabulous now Dame are we so proud of this lady and all the comedy that she has created with an amazing talent? Thank you for being you 🌹 Joanne Lumley
I love Joanna. She is very upper class - she says proply for properly. She is also very modest and humble.
Beauty & brains the ultimate combination.
Absolutely stunning, charming and honest
Remarkable woman.
Love her looks, personality and even today at the age that she is, I look forward to watch her work.
Close to perfect: very very beautiful, funny, kind, not taking herself seriously for a bit, altruistic ... Still stunning today. Love that woman
Lovely and down to earth. What a great outlook to have as should so many people we see on tv
She's devastating beautiful. Part of her irresistible charm is she doesn't make a big thing about her physical beauty.
What a witty and intelligent person she is.
She still looks good 40 years later.
British Icon ! Then and now , what an inncredibly down to earth lady ,
This is fantastic!

Diana and Joanna were two of my favourites - An uplifting interview!! 🙂
thank you for this video. i love Joanna. she is my crush
She did the best travel shows on tv ever.best bar none!
Love the way she put paid to parky!

Truly beautiful woman and she's such a pleasure to watch. A brilliant actress too. A national treasure!

He certainly was of his generation. He certainly looks condescending looking at him now.

Beautiful voice and looks x
It's now 8 years after your comment, so Joanna is 78 & she's still gorgeous 😍 💞
It is now 1 month since your comment and I can say that she is still gorgeous!😉
Her answers show her to be very forward thinking. Fantastic human being :)
She is a superstar Joanna Lumley cor blimey governor!
How delightful at 2:00 when she lowers her eyes and visibly squirms at the concept of her being thought of as a beautiful woman.
This line of questioning, oh my goodness. She handles it so beautifully.
A very young and down to earth gorgeous Joanna Lumley. ❤❤
Joanna has spirit, looks, humour and intelligence.
What a wonderful combination.
Absolutely Fabulous!!
Thank u bbc!! For bringing lumley to us 🤗😊
She is AMAZING!!!
She still a beautiful woman with an amazing sense of humor !
Still watching this in Feb 2021 🙋🏽♀️
Old fashioned British officer bloodline, calm under fire, intelligent, with a dash of humour to instil confidence, for years they led with great skill, their success was not coincidental it took time to build. I hope we never loose these qualities they still exist. Joanna has them in spades.
A class act.
She is just FABULOUS
She was beautiful then and she is gorgeous today,no plastic surgery,never lost her beauty !
She is just brilliant and beautiful!
Regardless of what she says, she would get plenty of second glances in a bakery or anywhere. She was “absolutely fabulous” then and she still is now in 2021.
She is one of our national treasures of entertainment
As long as the loonies love them, that's all that matters. Joanna's so great.
This wonderful woman deserves to be on our banknotes.
Don't you have to be dead? I don't want her to be dead!
Amazing woman. Still going strong. 👍💪🏼
Beautiful clever and witty then and now
She is lovely, and hasn't gone the way of so many with terrible plastic surgery, such a warm person with diginity
Phew, a woman as rare as a hens tooth, everything in one package. Devastatingly gorgeous, intelligent, fun filled, self-deprecating and charming. Plus a hundred other attributes. One in a million, or possibly a billion.
She was and remains lovely in appearance and personality.
Charming and quite intelligent as well.
Joanna Lumley is style personified !
Haha, oh I love her - great interview, thanks!
I'm glad she changed her hairdo though...
She's so pretty, even now today, such a wonderful lovely woman!!
I just love Joanna Lumley...
Well she is very pretty , especially when she was 22, but more importantly, she is beautiful inside, a kind heart.
She's just awesome.
How irritating it is to have "BBC MOTION GALLERY" plastered over the middle of the video.
Why does Joanna Lumley not have a capitol letter in the title?
Oh i love her! Soo so smart!!
Purdey , Steed , and Gambit ! The New Avengers circa 1976 Great show !
Imagine that voice whispering into your ear in the dark.
Your incisive and imperishable comment has put me in a state. I'm now dreaming, on the edge and yes, sad to know it will never happen. But what a thought.
Could you please make the BBC Motion Gallery logo larger? I can still see part of her face sometimes, and it seems your objective is to hide the subject of your video.
Absolutely Fabulous ❤
Stunningly beautiful. Then and now.
Isn’t she just absolutely gorgeous now in 2021 ❤️
Absolutely adore her.
Voice of an angel
She is wonderful. An example to be followed for some Hollywood so called stars
