I hope those youngsters know how very lucky they where to be in the presence of this wonderful lady.

She's utterly marvellous on every level

[@mharris45013]

I dearly love this woman. So wise with no time for bs. Wish we had many more just like her.

[@inthewilderness7965]

She's wonderful; and with such beautiful English diction which she can change at whim when going into character. A complete natural for the many Dicken's characters she has portrayed so well.

I have been a massive fan of Dickens since childhood ; I own and have read all his works , even the unfinished Mystery Of Edwin Drood . I just adore Miriam Margolyes and her passion for the great writer .

If only I had been so blessed to have had a teacher like her or even to have had the tremendous opportunity to have been able to attend a masterclass of hers at my university or conservatory.

A truly wonderful actor and raconteur, wonderfully free and honest. Dear Miriam, I would like to ask what a "Threepenny fart" would constitute? Thank you.

[@christinahall2587]

I think that Charles Dickens would have hand picked Miriam to be his P R lady ! I can just imagine their conversations !
