BBC 4 doing a Patricia Routledge night on September 3. I think the "Patricia Routledge Remembers..." links are freshly recorded?

They have been recorded this year. William Gaunt looked great in his, Roy Clarke looked his age and Alan Bennett looked like a man circling the drain. Mind you, Michael Jayston seemed in good nick in his and by the time they showed it, he was dead.

It was recorded this year. The first one is up on Iplayer already. To be blunt, by most people at 95 years old standards, she looks great. And she's recorded about 40 minutes of this (over several sessions by looks of it but still).  By Patricia Routledge's standards, however, she's clearly declined a fair bit since her Channel 5 interview in 2022. More pauses in sentences, lost weight compared to then, clearly faded slightly as the reminisces went on. Reminded me of several elderly relatives in their twilight. Not at deaths door imo but I'd keep her on the list tbh.

Looking very glam for Bognor. 

 

'Routledge then recalled her earliest ambition was to be “a very avant-garde headmistress with a red sports car and romances all over Europe”.' Love it!

This appears to be a new interview. I've not listened to it but others may wish to.

Couple of takeaways from this: She mentions she is unable to sing anymore and that she is suffering from macular degeneration.

Why does the thumbnail make it look like she's an N64 Goldeneye mission?
