My heart melted when she said she likes people, and simply likes it when people like her back. She is a more remarkable person than she realizes.

Joanna Lumley is one of the most sylish and beautiful women in the world. I could listen to her voice forever.

Lovely woman. I was at a movie premier about 15 years ago (I'm not famous, just worked for Warner Bros at the time) and she was one of the many celeb guests. As she glided through the crowd at the bar I was bit starstruck (had always been a fan since the New Avengers) and stared at her. She came straight over with a huge smile, shook my hand and said 'Hi, how are you, lovely to see you' and glided off. I was grinning for a week.

She is totally fabulous, absolutely wonderful.

She just drips with intelligence, empathy, and great comedy nous.

I could listen to Joanna for hours. She's so classy, talented, funny and stunning all at the same time. Love her to pieces!

Joanna Lumley is delightfully funny and humble. She is a precious jewel.

[spinynorman]

A national treasure, without a shadow of a doubt.

Joanna made my day when she mentioned doing another travel show. Absolutely adore her. There are not enough positive adjectives for this fine person.

[umbertoyltp]

A sheer pleasure to hear her talk about how the sixtiies were for her and how the world around her was in those days.

[vickywitton]

I love this woman! Loved her as Patsy and her travel shows were a delight, she managed to make everyone fall in love with her wherever she went!

[johncassels]

Joanna Lumley is a class act in every sense of the phrase! Rob, you ain't bad either 😁

[PhilMacVee]

Absolutely Fabulous woman. Rob, you were born in 65 I was born in 55. Joanna was a dream that, of course, could never come true. I love the huskiness of her beautifully articulated words. She is a most beautiful woman.

[chiplawson]

Joanna is a fascinating, wonderful person who cares deeply about the world and its people. So refreshing to see someone so very famous and talented and brilliant as a humble, down-to-earth human being, wanting to make a lasting positive contribution to the planet and its life.

Not sure why it made me smile hearing Rob say 'my friend' David Mitchell. They all have such great chemistry on Would I Lie that's it's nice knowing it's genuine

My first memories about Joanna Lumley was Sapphire & Steel tv-series. "All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life. Medium atomic weights are available: Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver and Steel. Sapphire and Steel have been assigned". A great interview.

Such a talented treasure, thats why we love her so much...

Joanna Lumley.
What a fine example of a human being.
I love her.

[peterwhitehead]

An amazing conversation with two of my favourite people. So refreshing to listen to folks without ego, nor plugging their latest book or film. ❤

So much warmth, wisdom, lived experience... and only 5ish minutes in.
