ladyfiona 2,586 Posted October 19, 2021 She looks well on Who Do You Think You are. Up until she nearly has a heart attack when she finds she's related to people who worked with Danish nobility who lived at the castle which inspired Hamlet, the relative met Will Kempe and another relative is Tycho Brahe who was a very famous astronomer. That is a very TLDW description. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish my eyesight would have declined beyond repair since the creation of this thread. She was fine in 2018 and is in 2022 and will be in 2025 - unless her blind arse is left alone in the middle of a Chinese rope bridge or summat. Five pounds of coffee to all if she dies before 90.

msc 18,477 Posted March 18, 2023 Watching that Louis Theroux interview on BBC (a repeat from late last year, filmed last summer). Judi Dench is, well, very old now, but she can still talk and reminisce well, even though talking about her late husband is still obviously painful. Her living family live nearby her now though, as she gets lonely easily and also falls a fair bit. She claims her pet parrot (?) saved her life after the big fall during lockdown mentioned above, as it kept talking to her till help arrived. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
