Miriam Margolyes interview for Robinson College, Cambridge 

As a student of English literature at Cambridge, a recipient of Leavis, a performer, AND a profound admirer of Ms Margoyles, might I say that she charmingly appears not to realise her own worth? Dickens had an immeasurable effect in correcting the social injustices and the follies of his age. He wrote his characters with the ear of the actor that he'd at one time wished to become, and which he, in his public readings, delivered them. Ms Margoyles is that too-rare thing: a very good actor indeed, who has also the intelligence, the depth of knowledge of the human condition as explored in literature, AND the moral integrity so rarely allied with celebrity. Value her, as I sincerely hope that she values herself

Happy 80th BIRTHDAY miss Miriam 🎉🎂🎉🎂❤

I relate very much to Miriam..being Jewish and with relatives that also came from Glasgow as jewish refugees..I agree with so many of her political and other views on swearing too !!! and her general love for profanity and generally cutting through somewhat petty social norms and mores.But I can't help but think that there is a shared history and culture that makes her seem very familiar to me. I was never a believer myself having just been bought up going to synagogue and part of a jewish community but later in life various expereinces have lead me to believe that there is way more to this world then the material things we see around us and there are spiritual principles to live by that I think Jesus and many other religions or spiritual practices are alluding to. Also loved the interviewer and yes it is amazing that someone from his humble background has become an Oxford scholar...good on him,we need more of them

I could sit & listen to this great lady for hours! She is a rare treasure that will never have an equal in my lifetime!! God bless her and give her all the blessings of a very, very long life!!

I have no idea how I got here, but am so thankful that I did! Really appreciated the questions from Rev. Perry, and the wide range of topics covered, from flatulence, to Dickens and more. I truly wished that this interview went on longer - just stopping by to send my heartfelt thanks for such wonderfully moderated and insightful interview from a listener over in Canada.

Love miriam margolyes 💓🌹🌹🌟 A brilliant actress /person

Magnificent interview magnificent interviewer and interviewee. So enjoyable. I'm so glad this was done

Absolutely captivating conversation. Thank you.

Love Miriam Get her audiobook it’s great 😊

My first thought was how's Miriam going to get through this without saying the F word? 😆

I’d love to know what Jesus would say when he heard Miriam refer to him as a “bloke” ! She is different. Love that in her

It's moving and inspiring.

Wonderful

Wonderful interviewer

Money makes bad neighbors. So true!

#Amen🌟🙏❤ Jesus Christ is the 👑#king of all Xxxxxxxxx

at last someone who understands how cruel it is to deny Jezus his humanity. he was not god. he was a splendid bloke and I guess he would be appalled if he knew what people (Christians) did with his teachings

Tim’s been shawn!!

Timothy looks and sounds like a young alfred hitchcock
