I love how this interview is running as a relaxed conversation and human engagement is very noticeable from all parts. Much more enjoyable than most of now a days interviews that it seems a bit forced with questions as a script and not letting the guest talk freely and ramble about mundane things, etc. I love Miriam Margoyles so much, she is so lovely, funny and charismatic.

[@jeremiahgabriel5709]

What a perfect explanation. I too enjoy these sorts of interviews far more than most of what happens now, which is rather sad this style has sort of....disintegrated into commercialized Humans Are Products not People... I mean some older interviews with Maggie Smith run this way and they're incredible. What are we losing I wonder, in reducing people to products and not permitting them to stretch their verbal legs a bit and waffle about?

[@steveb1972]

Oh I love our Miriam 😃

[@sloubser01]

Shw spoke so eloquently on the concerns of caring for an elderly person.

[@poisonedchalice]

Love her and for her standing up on the right side of humanity ❤ 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@EricsWorlds]

Poisoned Chalice is right 🔥🇵🇸🔥

I love love this woman ❤❤😂😂

[@mprobinson99]

I adore Miriam and there should be more people like her. ❤

[@mariajefferies8555]

I think she is the Best !

[@biegebythesea6775]

she's so cute!

[@TheMrBennito]

Good that she, for a moment, brought Dickens to our attention

[@Cesarsanvicente]

What a nice person

[@thezmanchar]

I love her so much. She is so funny.

[@Zenobiadream]

She hasn’t changed one bit! I love her

[@jameshayes9779]

If Johnny had her on 4 times, he knew you had talent. And I totally agree.

[@markgoldby6502]

The way she talks is so succinct ❤

[@lolacokebroke9430]

It would be great if you could upload archive interviews from the 90s and before ! ☺️

[@DistantCousin]

Yes! The Richard and Judy golden era. Who were proper trained journalists, unlike the dumbed down lot of the past 20 years

[@lolacokebroke9430]

@@DistantCousin yeah but Graham Norton is truly an exception ! Wish we could see older actors/musicians be interviewed before the social media ruin!

[@h0lly_blue]

I've seen a lot of Miriam clips pop up lately so I got real worried for a second tbh

[@matthewpayne2035]

Always good to see King Buzzo doing interviews.

[@biegebythesea6775]

who?

[@drew8958]

Wow - people were battered back then Miriam... what about now?! 🤣 What comes across here for me is how relaxed J& R are..... it is a reflection of the times - not as "battered" then as we are now Miriam!

[@davidlondon2810]

What a charming interview. She seemed much more natural, chatty and empathetic then.

[@FionaEm]

Hadn't seen an interview with her younger self. She was a bit better behaved back then 😅

[@aids1618]

💙💙

[@DistantCousin]

ADORE HER! Was she out of the closet at this point? Can't be sure from this interview.

[@CatsandJp]

Watch her documentaries she does here in Australia …she is certainly…not..growing old gracefully…she speaks with elegance and then throws in f bombs and farts….maybe she thinks at 80+ years she has got a license to grow old disgracefully….but I love her…she can be hilarious.❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@retrometalguy]

Interesting to see a slightly younger Meep Meep Margolyes, she has aged a lot since this interview footage. I also think, she now uses a mobility scooter (that or sometimes a walking frame) and yet she is still able to drive an RV caravan all the way round Australia

[@ayeeioweyou7503]

It was 30 years ago. Give her a break 😅

[@divatalk9011]

She’s in her 80s now….

[@PhoenixFeathers]

Was she still ‘closeted’ then? She said “I’m not married” but she was already with her partner then. Different times…

[@mariawilson1959]

Of course she was..unfortunately..so much more scary to come out back then..especially for women

[@kurt479]

But she never said she was single. Just that she wasn't married, which was true. Doesn't mean she's closeted because she's not going into detail about her private life

[@anonymous-wy4iu]

Miriam for prime minister!!( Lets start petition) 😊 and get a free Greggs sausage roll

[@samnpoppythedog4416]

I remember this interview first time round, the only I never got answered was... Which chicken soup, does she mean the one you drink/eat or does the more adult meaning ( which in the 90s was very well known in certain area of the adult population).

[@jennigirl8275]

Probably both😂

[@moif_velocita]

Is filmed in Liverpool?

[@sie4431]

This Morning was originally made in a studio in the Albert docks in Liverpool

[@gabrieldovido7019]

What year was this interview ?

[@Vampretta666]

1993

[@withonelook1985]

She's wearing exactly the same outfit as she did on The Tonight Show...

[@aussiejubes]

And...?

[@biegebythesea6775]

is this a real tan? colour suits her very well.

[@trc1508]

Her opinion on America isn’t as positive as it used to be 😂

[@huolalupin6008]

She had charm in those days although she was already a dedicated exhibitionist. When is she going to retire? Soon I hope.

[@mariachris2526]

No!!!

[@tb22k]

😅😅

[@DistantCousin]

Her reflections on the country are uncannily similar to how things are now - ironically the Tories had also been in power for 14 years at the time of this interview,....

[@HalifaxViewers]

So sad that even Miriam as bold as she is hid her sexuality and couldn’t be as free as Richard and Judy could be about their relationship. Her partner was in Australia.

[@jdeeken6697]

Love her…too bad the Brits are so snobby about America.

[@elizabethreeves5657]

😂

✡️ 🇮🇱

[@rorymartinc]

Trade mark honesty is the code word for vile rudenes, awful woman.

[@jamiewigley]

I don’t think I could disagree more, the fact that she admits she’s made assumptions that she was wrong about and apologised for let’s me know all I need to about her as a person! I think she’s lovely and hilarious

[@OldBlackCow72]

@@jamiewigley Correct, she is an amazing person!

[@jodavies8998]

She’s Amazing!!! Love this Woman ❤️

[@josmith4173]

How restrained! 😂

[@liselautenbacher]

As Miriam would tell you herself, I believe you mean rudeness with double s ;) I could not love her more but thank you for showing your true colours with your comment! :)

[@FarmerJAB]

Appalling woman. No class

[@bigred8432]

This interview oozes class. So that's utter nonsense

[@C_Xx7xX]

They should've brought Richard and Judy back!

[@ytu77]

Miriam's grandad Symeon Sandmann was born in Margonin (Poland) and in 1870 emigrated to the UK. We always wondered if the surname had something to do with the town's name..... that's so sweet ❤

[@ntvstudios2393]

The first ever appearance from the iconic lady, without any of that swearing 😂😂
