Great to see an interview with the legend that is Joan Sims. I am a big 'Carry On' fan and enjoyed her role in ' Only Fools and Horses, the Frogs Legacy.'

[@brianrodney712]

I remember her as the boozy old gradma in " In Sickness and In Health "

[@TheRowlandstone73]

What a lovely lady. Such a shame she passed away the year after this interview, and at only 71 too. I love the Carry Ons and it's always nice seeing Joan pop up in other comedy films of the 50s and 60s as well.

[@marshallscott7955]

An absolutely brilliant character actress and a lovely lady. So tragic she died at only 71. She was my favourite of the carry on team, and would’ve made a terrific serious actress if she had only been given the chance. R.I.P wonderful lady. Xx

🌹💞🌸 Great interview Rip Joan Sims

[@npc3po301]

A tour de force when the camera rolled, her comedic timing was impeccable, it's a shame there isn't a good long deepdive conversation with her somewhere and not just these short features where she doesn't ever get the time to truly relax and reflect

[@MegaDeansy]

Joan Sims, Tyrone Power and bacon & eggs - surreal !

[@chriswinwood6501]

Bless her

[@matimus100]

Never sneezed

[@Lytton333]

Wonderful Joan. British through and through. They don't make 'em like her any more.

[@wendydalton3853]

Absolutely love this lady. Stunningly beautiful as well as talented. Much missed. RIP. ❤

[@markhayward7400]

This lovely interview must be amongst the last public appearances that Joan Sims made. She was taken ill in November 2000 and died in June of the following year.

[@gwinniboots]

Lovely and talented lady.

[@dangerousbrian0]

All the Original Carry On Team & their films are sorly missed they don't make these type of comedies any more classic british comedy at its finest.

[@f32440i]

There's a reason those movies aren't made today 😂

[@kartikpiplani7527]

I miss all of them

[@allangilchrist5938]

Watch the three hander between Joan, Kenneth Williams and Peter Butterworth in Carry On Don't Loose Your Head. It's a masterclass in comedy without a live audience.

[@rossfleming9552]

What an absolute sweetheart :))

Why are all the pictures with other actors screened out? I wonder why this has been done?

This can't be too long before she died can it? 2001 when she passed away.
