The Pub Landlord Meets Joanna Lumley | FULL INTERVIEW | Al Murray's Happy Hour 

There is not a soul who does not like/love Joanna Lumley... Amazing woman.

My father was stationed in India towards the end of the Second World War. I remember him saying that the Ghurkas were the most ferocious and bravest fighting force he had ever encountered.

Being a Brit Sikh I read so much about the Sikhs and their bravery fighting for the UK,70,000 in Europe...the Gurkas the same respect and a disgrace they can't be British after dying for us...The Falklands on the front line and Argies crap themselves here surrender...the Gurkhas what no scrap !!! If you are prepared to die for us then you have the right to be here. Just check out both honours for the UK.

That audience is more patriotic than the proms - I've never seen anything like it! Well done Al for getting Joanna Lumley on. Brits love the Gurkhas - there is no more popular ethnic group. We appreciate them so much for what they've done for us, which is down to their impressive character and physical toughness.

We need her voice on the satnavs. She’s a legend ❤️

I could listen to Joanna Lumley all day. Her voice is not only posh and lovely. It’s so soothing.

From now on we can all refer to her as Dame Joanna Lumley, can't we? She's well deserving of that title especially with her charity work for the Gurkhas, isn't she? I don't know about anyone else but I'll always think of her as Patsy from Ab Fab. :-)

I love her passion . She's a legend and the perfect English woman .

Congratulations, Dame Joanna Lumley. Roll on Sir Pub Landlord.

in 1988 I was in Victoria Station London using the public phone (we had no mobiles back then), I was talking to my mate, and looked across, I said "fu@king hell it's Joanna Lumley" she looked at me and smiled, my mate didn't believe me. When she finished her call, I asked her to talk to my mate up in Inverness, and tell him it's Joanna Lumley, she did, she said "f@cking hell it's me, Joanna Lumley" What a lovely lady, love her to bits. I also asked her to marry me, but she did the decent thing, and laughed at me :)

I love Joanna Lumley ! I remember watching her on The New Avengers when I was a kid and fancied her like mad Purdey was so cool !

big ups to both johanna and the pub landlord for bring this to public notice

Well said Joanna legend Lumley! Jai Gurkha!

I remember walking along a beach in Cornwall one day in the 90's with my dogs and I happened to look up onto the promenade; straight into the eyes of the lovely Ms Lumley. She hit me with that smile of hers and it was like a physical blow. What a lady.

40 years ago I had the great pleasure of greeting her at a theatre I managed and spent several hours in her company. Charming, intelligent, witty & beautiful but very down to earth with it.

I absolutely adore Joanna Lumley.

My grandad served with the Gurkhas in India many years ago. It’s now Pakistan. I was privileged to serve with them too. During my military service in 1961. It was only 2 weeks. We went deep into the Malay jungle., chasing so called terrorists. We were never threatened, but then who would have the nerve to threaten a Gurkha.? I was only 20 but never felt a moment of nervousness. Our guardians were confident and courageous. I can never speak more highly of these wonderful people. The fact that thy cannot settle in U.K. is nothing short of disgusting. They should consider coming over on Dinghies.!

That bit about the Northern Lights was really great. Her imagery was Amazing🗿

Everytime people interview Joanna about her career they always forget Saphire and Steel with David Mccallum

Brilliant, start to finish. Don't forget the Gurkhas though...

Laughed more at that than the rest of this week. Two brilliant people. Respect!

Joanna is quite literally... absolutely fabulous! A national treasure

She truly is a national treasure! No doubt about it.

The Gurkha Justice Campaign was one of the most successful lobbying campaigns of the last 10 years, delivering justice for Gurkhas who had fought for the British Army but were denied citizenship of this country.

She is the definition of a national treasure!

This lady is every mans 'thinking girlfriend' LEGENDARY! I served on the same base as we had Gurkhas and these are tough fighting men I have every respect for them and Joanna! They are also wonderful human beings!👏👏👏👏👏👏

Gurkha's are awesome, the Australian military has a close relationship with them

My all-time guilty pleasure, and I don't mean Al Murray.

I love that show, al murray is a gem too.

It’s wonderful now, because of Joanna, the Gurkha can now become British citizens. Cheers 🎼🤘🤘🤘 Edit: she is so fuckin lovely

This program was amazing such a shame it ended

Ghurkas have my upmost respect and have fought alongside us for ever .this country should treat them as our own shame on them .

man allways loved this lady god bless you joanna👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

There ain't nothing like this Dame

Yes she is Absolutely Fabulous..... but the time I was absolutely amazed at her was when she went and lived as a castaway on a desert island. Did some training with the Royal Marines then off she went. 😮

I had a poster of purdy on my bedroom wall as a young man growing up in the 80's top class

What a fabulous, gorgeous girl, God bless her !!!

A national treasure. I worked on children in need with her mid 80s. Totally unique.

What a bloody amazing woman

I watched her on sapphire and steel. I had many restless nights as a young boy i can tell you!

Fast forward 9k former Ghurkas are now living in poverty in Aldershot and Farnborough living in bed and breakfast from hand to mouth. Well done you never thought through the Policy. The veterans were promised houses, a car, a magical retirement. Problem was they are in limbo too old and weak to work and too poor to go home. Here in Surrey and Hampshire we love these gentle people it’s heartbreaking.

I love this lady. She has charisma is a great actress. I loved her in Me Befor You. It was a small role but it left a lasting impact

Joanna Lovely....

Joanna always looks so Fabulous. And comes across as a Real Nice Person. Hence her ICON status I guess.!? Regarding her Favorite Places UK survey. I hope it included my Old Local Pub. 'The Hoy and Helmet.' In Benfleet Essex. Before I left to Come and Settle in Australia. I had my Last British Pint, in that Pub. I love Australia and haven't returned to Uk. Since 1980 but if I were Able, that Pub would be my First Spot to Visit. Pubs here are Just 'Watering Holes.!' Great with mates but their Not Hundreds of years Old. ( Obviously ) If there was One thing I would Love to move to Australia, it's the 'Hoy n Helmet pub.!' But I guess Benfleet would miss it..! Just Talking Pubs and 'Big Al' seems Right Some how..! Cheers All, From Downunder ( which is Beautiful, by the way.! ) No Worries Mate..!! 😎

i love her to bits

Iconic image of Britain ................... E Type Jaguar

Who would you rather give a home to, the Ghurkas, or the rabble coming over the channel each day...

Joanna posed on a Hesketh motorcycle

Well done Al..

still a looker

Happy New Year to you and anyone helping produce the channel. I've really enjoyed your videos this year, and i look forward to whatever jaw dropping content.... blah blah... algorithms blah blah...like and subscribe blah blah...

Well done to JL, The Gurkas are #1 soldiers and deserve it. One more thing about the Gurka Regiment - you can't beat a Gurka Curry !!! It's the best....

I grew up watching absolutely fabulous, even though she was vile, patsy was always my favourite

A Treasure!

That's my kind of heaven ice hotel

Beautiful lady

How recent is this clip? Is Al's program still airing?

Shirley Bassy, she up there with her I think, lovely. I remember Shirley and the Wellington boots morcham and wise.

Top Totty

when was this?

I still would

Charley was a song by the South African group Rabbit.

I'm also a Bond Girl. My birth name was Bond.

On hearing the mention of Gareth Hunt, Al neglected to shake his right hand and saying "Three Sorts Of Beans."

and it is the best shotgun

Lumley said we should all be rationed like the war, well all apart from the rich, remember that!

You never see Joanna Lumley and Brian Ferry in the same place and at the same time.

a picture of our armed forces alongside gurkhas would be nice

J.L. remains positively edible !

Australia welcomes the Ghurkas.

The only posh bird I like!!!!

I used to watch her in "Sapphire and Steel" when I was a lad ;-)

We take in immigrants put them in a hotel and pay them yet deport people who have stood with us. Who have served the country. I am so angry as I imagine many are.

drop me anywhere in the world just give me a gurkhaas my back up

Can anyone please find the petition so we can all sign it? I tried, but failed. Thanks.

Mmmmmmm, Joanna Lumley ..., sssiiiiiiggggghhhhh.

Joanne, I admire you intensely but a few facts need to be made clear before we condemn the Government, 1. The Contract signed by the prospective Gurkha clearly includes the right to reside in the UK and the terms under which this CAN happen. Effectively they are Contract soldiers ie mercenaries! Having completed basic training, language training and serving their first tour they are entitled to bring their families (including fathers, mothers, wife and children where they are treated just the same as any other (legal immigrant) and during their tour of duty receive all the family benefits including housing medical dental and education, If injured or killed in service the family is still treated the same. During their service they are entitled to apply for right to remain on completion of service, AND a fully government funded return trip to their home in Nepal every two years; Most Gurkhas I have met did not apply for the right to remain mainly because the process like any other immigrant can take up to 2 years ( a lot are too busy to bother until it is too late) However the option to take a British citizenship is still open to them, BUT IT HAS TO BE APPLIED FOR and like the Windrush generation a lot did’nt bother Over to you Joanna!!!!

Total crumpet. X

Lady Lumley has more class the combined number of all schools in this country

I've been to Goldeneye. Beautiful but local black kids called me a "white dog.". Charmingly Jamaican eh?

Is she a Dame, yet?

T🎉

I've always quite liked the way Joanna presents herself and of course her effort with the Gurkhas. However, I found it a little disturbing that despite earning quite a good living travelling first class around the world and encouraging travelers to spend their money in overseas countries to see the many splendid things, she's advocating that we (not sure if she just means us, but not her) cut back on meat and family holidays abroad to save the planet. She's also suggested that 'we' (again) adopt a 'wartime' carbon rationing system which sounds very much like a social credit system they have in communist countries.

Are they maskims?

what a bloody disgrace. the gurkha should be allowed to live in the uk. i was in the army but i never knew the gurkha were sent back home

Is this satire

We let in all of these migrants on boats, willingly, and yet refuse Gerkas who have fought for us. Why not conscript these economic boat migrants into the army?

All very well saying these "nice" things about Lumley BUT is she NOT advocating the "jabs" for kids?!!!! And you still think she is ok? Just asking?!!!

Is this the same Joanna lumley that said we should all live on rations to save the world.

She must be 108 years old.

We have a good allegiance with the Gurkhas, but why does that mean that thousands of them should move to the UK?

Meanwhile the so called Great British public stand by while 12 million British pensioners, many of whom fought for this country during WW2, and are our own Grandparents, live in poverty on a Government State pension that's a pittance. What are you going to do about this Miss Lumley ?

The older s/he gets, the more masculine 'Joe'anna Lumley. I get a lump in my throat watching hers ...

It's ok for her in her mansion in Scotland and London, bet she rarely ever meets a migrant. Do you really think these young men wake up one morning and think "blimey I really love that UK, I will join the army and risk my life for them" Or could it be I will join their army, get paid a far better salary than I can here, do my time, leave with a pension and a get a free ticket to blighty for me and my extended family! Which do you reackon?

She's gone downhill, since she went on about carbon taxes.while she visits every country on earth 😂

Carnt.stand.the.woman

How boring
