TQR 14,372 Posted December 26, 2023 Half a dozen BAFTAs, two Emmys, two Oscars, a Golden Globe, a Laurence Olivier, a DBE, a cancerous bowel in the not-too-distant past and an ominous silence since pulling out of a Channel 4 drama in March due to "ill health". Fucking legend, fucking Deathlisty. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prophet 251 Posted December 26, 2023 I initially planned to include her in my Shadowlist this year but I changed my mind when I heard that she will appear in the next Paddington Movie, which will be released in November 2024. The movie was filmed until this October, so she's probably in better health than many of us here imagine. The official reason she left the Channel 4 drama in March was "back pain", which sounds more like an old people issue than a cancer relapse. It's important to note that this lady is 73, an age when most people are already retired. She already mentioned in 2020 when she was cancerfree, that she wants to take things a bit slower now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,283 Posted December 26, 2023 One of the names on my long list (not that long this year) she was one of the easiest to remove from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,283 Posted January 1 I think she isn't a good pick as such but one of those gambles that could pay off.The committee has been accused of playing it safe and devouring the extreme elderly so I think Walters is the sort of pick where that shows that isn't strictly true.Of course maybe the committee has some inside knowledge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,576 Posted January 1 I think she was a good pick but the Paddington 3 news has made me think she might not be ill. I did put her on my dames team just to be sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She still seems to be working, and in fairly good health the last couple of years. Probably a pick that will not pay off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's possible she is fine andjust turned down Channel 4 because they don't have any Marmalade in catering. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 14,372 Posted January 1 You never know, it might be an inspired choice. (Unless, as some of us suspect, it turns out to be a waste, in which case I created this thread purely to sell the committee pricks a dummy. Lol ave it ya tossers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,372 Posted June 12 Sometimes being worryingly quiet is just a case of taking it easy. I respect the punt, but looks like an easy drop for now. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
