This isn't even 1% of the craziness of Myriam's life. Her book "This much is true" is one of the most brutaly honest autobiographies ever printed. And very funny. It's a must read.

Cheers, I'm gonna give it a read

[@Tass...]

She's an out lesbian who's been in a relationship with the same woman since 1968, so why does she have so many stories about her many heterosexual encounters?

[@Tass...]

@@davidz3879 She has explained that those were in her uni days when she was "working things out"

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

Laurence Olivier (who became Lord Olivier in 1971) was a very well known English actor, director and producer. He won four Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, five Emmys and two British Acadamy Of Film Awards, amongst many other accolades. His career spanned from the 1920s to the 1980s. He was a star of the stage, movies and TV and was, at one point, director at The National Theatre and, at another point, The Old Vic. He’s widely considered to have been the greatest actor Britain ever produced and, to actors of a certain generation, he was the one to aspire to be like. For a British actor to be compared favourably to Olivier would be about the best compliment they could receive. I was fortunate enough to see Miriam Margolyes as Mrs Hardcastle in She Stoops To Conquer in the late 90s. She’s truly a very fine actor, and I admire her greatly. But she’s also known for telling slightly outrageous stories in which she often gives too much information about herself - things that may be best kept private! I suspect she deliberately does this to shock, which sometimes makes her look a bit like an attention seeker and I sometimes think may be a very easy way to get quick laughs. I sometimes wish she wouldn’t do that as she’s better than that. At the same time, however, I can’t deny that her stories are funny! It’s worth watching the clip from the episode with Will I Am. It’s another “too much information” story, but the look on Will’s face is priceless. Thank you once again for a great reaction. That raucous laugh can pierce through even the most darkest of times and put a bit of joy into all our lives.

[@Temeraire101]

I read somewhere Miriam and Will I am because great friends.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Olivier only won one Academy Award not four, though he was nominated for 11 in total, and did receive two honorary Oscars as well later on.

[@Matty_UK]

This is one of the great things about the Graham Norton Show. You can get away with more on UK TV than you can on US TV. And Graham is brilliant at getting his guests to open up and let loose. So it's always funny to see American guests getting shocked like this, or letting themselves go and forgetting where they are so they do and say stuff they normally wouldn't. Miriam's a national treasure, she's hilarious.

[@davidz3879]

But why has an out lesbian had so many heterosexual encounters?

[@Matty_UK]

@@davidz3879 She said in one of her stories she was basically finding herself and sorting herself out. She found out she was a lesbian down the road.

Your face at 6:58 lol. Miriam is the absolute soul of honesty lmfao and I suspect she enjoys being outrageous enormously, too! John Malkovich is the face you recognised. Not a whole lot of footage of him laughing. Miriam managed it though. The Will i am and Miriam episode is hilarious too.

[@wrorchestra1]

If you want to know how important Lawrence Olivier was to British theatre, think of it this way: America has the Tony award, the UK has the Olivier award.

[@SadPeterPan1977]

My favourite Miriam Margoyles moment (outside of her appearances in Blackadder which are hilarious) was a year ago where she was being interviewed on a morning BBC radio show about something and the interview was coming to an end and one of the radio presenters made some comment about a UK government politician, who'd been promoted to a top job in the wake of months of complete political chaos that caused an economic meltdown, who she'd just met in the corridor outside the radio booth and she said said something like 'Oh yes I said "good luck to you" but what I was really thinking was "Fuck you!! Arsehole!"...' at which point the radio presenters went into full panic mode about the swearing live on air about the number 2 person in Government while all over the UK and on Twitter people were just wetting themselves with laughter and congratulating her for saying what most of us were thinking. She's a national treasure... 😄

[@pomerau]

She wasn't in Blackadder. I got her mixed up too. EDIT: well she wasn't Nursie in series 2 played by Patsy Byrne who seems like her, but Miriam did play 3 one off characters in total apparently.

[@Erulin68]

7:50 OF COURSE that's a compliment, she's been an out and proud lesbian since she was in her 20ties. One of the first celebreties in England to be open about it, so yeah meeting Sir Laurence Olivier and doing that was indeed a huge compliment. And that of course is why she like the police exam...😄

I had seen all these clips before, I knew exactly what was going to come up and I wasn't sure what Mandy's reaction would be - but I was pretty sure I'd enjoy it. Thanks! I did once have a brush with fame with Miriam Margoyles. Drove a taxi in Sydney, picked her up once, I did recognize her from Blackadder. She did laugh at one of lines about Sydney. Found out she's a perfect audience as well as being a great guest.

[@MandyCaneLane]

That sounds awesome! 🙌🏻

[@mickeybarrass3625]

Yeah I admit shes close to the knuckle but Miriam is a joy. Shes quite a grounded person who's prone to speak her mind, so that makes her even more funny. Shes an actress, you may know as Professor Sprout in Harry Potter. Theres some excellent documentaries shes in too. I just think she has a wild streak in her too and when she tells her stories, it reminds me of when your mam or dad, get embarrassed cos your Grandma had a sherry too many.

[@jcstato9048]

Yeh, I remember your gran. 😉😂

[@TheTradge]

OMG I thought it was just me who used to pronounce her name like that, I think my brain just naturally swapped the L and the Y around because it made more sense! 😂

[@friendlyneighbourhoodsteve4087]

Miriam is such a character. Completely unfiltered and unabashed. She lives in Australia now, in regional NSW I think, and has done some TV series travelling around OZ, also the US. One of my favourite roles of hers, also my first exposure to her, was Lady Whiteadder, Edmunds mother in Blackadder 2, another classic british comedy with Rowan Atkinson. That's something else you should react to someday. She's in the episode called 'beer'. Graham Norton is an absolute treasure trove of great stories and anecdotes. I like how you basically created your own compilation. Great stuff, more of that. 👏 👍 Oh yeah, Ron Howard (the guy sitting next to Stephen Fry) Regarding interesting lives and stories etc. I bet you do have some interesting stories and experiences to share, most people do if you get out there in the world and are open to experiences and stuff, they may just not know it. I have all kinds of fun and interesting stories and experiences, even just from things like online gaming. After one of Miriams stories, my anecdote from Sea of Thieves about vaginal discharge comes to mind😅, ( people do love that story). It's true that some people are naturally better story tellers than others. And of course, I guess people are going to be more interested if you happen to be famous. You're a bit famous.

[@MandyCaneLane]

I like how you just casually slipped in the topic of your antidote with no other clues or details... LOL 😅

[@friendlyneighbourhoodsteve4087]

@Mandy Cane Lane I'll save that for another time (dont you think my comment was long enough?😆), plus, sometimes a little mystery is good. And JIMINY GLICK, my comment was such a horribly disjointed, rambling vomit of words. My apologies.

Miriam is the one and only best and most honest person in that business.

[@justinbrett3024]

There's more compilations of her on Graham Norton, try and watch them all they're all pretty funny

[@Badmungo]

I met Miriam when she came for physio at the clinic I worked admin at. She's exactly like this. Must admit I nudged her up the list to a day I was working just to see her. I was star struck. Total legend.

[@ritahamblin1043]

Mandy I glad you have found this. It hilarious. You want to watch all her stuff on Graham Norton but be prepared she's very blunt. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@thewalrus6833]

Great reaction Mandy. Graham Norton shows have been brilliant over the years, one that comes to mind is Chris Pratt doing a card trick that was so good Jennifer Lawrence put her glass of wine down to applaud him 😂😂🤣

[@SadPeterPan1977]

The one with Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy all on to promote Xmen: Days of Future Past or the one with Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Hugh Bonneville on to promote Monuments Men are the best episodes. Honestly if I'm feeling a bit down I'll put one of those on as an instant mood booster.

You looked uncomfortable at every one of Miriam Margoyles anecdote Mandy. I think you enjoyed the OTHER guests more.

[@anewbimproves5622]

To have experiences like that, I think you just have to say "yes" to every opportunity, never care what onlookers think of you, and have a small disregard for your own personal safety.

[@garethm3242]

Haha love it! Was wondering if you'd like her or not. Louis Theroux interviewed her in his "Grounded" podcast during lockdown (might be available on KZbin), but she really went into these stories and more in real depth. She's the real deal - a true one off, and as a straight (older) millennial guy, I have to say I adore her vibe.

[@beageler]

I got to say, most of the time the US repression like this is kinda cute. There is another great one where Dominic Cooper tells the story of his waiting job. Miriam looks at him... so funny.

I just love your content. Your reactions are just ... natural. It's a reaction that should be expected to the content, but still so great to see live (which is why we watch :) ) Also, you could probably do an entire channel dedicated to Graham Norton Show reactions. Ireland is divided into two categories (in my opinion ;) ) those who love Graham Norton, and those who hate Graham Norton, but secretely think he's great. The show works so well because of the formula. It's very simple ... Give the guests alcohol (of their choice) Get them all on at the same time Do NOT have a desk to seperate host from guests Do NOT get in the way ... let them chat to each other addendums ... keep the drinks topped up (if requested) and don't get in the way of the guests. Look for the episode with Bill Murray, Matt Damon and Hugh Bonneville. It's gold. Just because it's so real. Sorry about the long letter!! Keep doing what you do :) You ask how these people have such stories .. again (in my opinion), it's because they approach life head-on. Deal with shit as it happens. Mostly, it works out. When it doesn't, they have these geat stories to tell ...
