A Lady Of Letters With Patricia Routledge Part 1

[Bradyhousetour]

I could listen to Patricia Routledge FOR HOURS! My first exposure to her doing this sort of storytelling was in "Mrs. Fozzard Finds Her Feet." I found myself transfixed on what would ordinarily appear boring. Bennett is a writing wizard. His material for Talking Heads is extraordinary, and will attract the admiration of generations to come! The combination of Routledge and Bennett = genius. Thank you for posting this.

this woman is fucking jokes

[timothyw98]

She complains that he didn't reply back to her on a letter where she said that he didn't have to reply to her other letter.

Talking about a nuisance cause.

[timothyw98]

This starts off understandable, complaining for smoking at a time of grief, then develops into ridiculous harassment.

[sexypotterhead]

this is amazing, i love this so much.

[BellButtonVideos]

I need up purchasing his book from iTunes on my iPad for 9.99

[BellButtonVideos]

Where can I find the script for this?

[annac42]

@BellButtonVideos I would like to know too for my english coursework

Alan Bennett,along with Victoria Wood are two of The North's finest contributors to the genre 'observational humour'.And like Ms Wood,Bennett has that canny knack of picking exactly the right performers for his work.But someone commented here that he/she wished Routledge had recreated the role for "Ladies of Letters" replacing Anne Reid.I don't think Bennet wrote that series.I watched an episode yesterday & it was written by two females.Though of course I could be wrong.

we had to do this for gcse english

[timothyw98]

Some of his characters can he hard to study, depending on their facial expression and voice tone. I.e. Soldiering on with Stephanie Cole.

I LOVE PATRICIA ROUTLEDGE IN ANYTHING SHE DOES. I WISH SHE HAD REPRISED HER ROLE OF VERA IN THE TV SERIES OF LADIES OF LETTERS. MUCH AS I LOVE ANNE REID, HAVING LISTENED TO THE AUDIO TAPES, I JUST CAN'T GET USED TO HER PLAYING VERA IN THE TV SERIES.

[hurmpfff]

thanks for these uploads.

[CubbieCohen]

Thank you for posting this. So heartbreakingly poignant.

[mike83party]

[clazza01]

lonely lady

[Brighteyes1ful]

Anything with patricia routledge in has to be good and alan bennett's writing is impeccable well done again.

[Mspendragon1972]

[annikee59]

Thank you~~~!

[beepbeep1beep]

Can't find the script even in this day and age  thanks

[Adam060756]

@Caprile91 What the hell are you talking about? Patricia Routledge is still alive, she's not dead. She's 81 years old and she ain't planning on slowing down anytime soon.

[n64wiigirl]

@Adam060756 You got that right, Adam ;o)! Patricia NEVER fails to amaze me . . . 82 years old now, and not looking a day over 70.  What a remarkable woman!

[Adam060756]

@n64wiigirl The person I replyed to that removed their comment said that Patricia Routledge passed away and i'm like ''what?''

(Just incase you're wondering why it looked like I was talking to myself) hehe

[WithinNightsCoil]

Using this as the play for my English Lit A level, can't find the script so thanks so much for this video, saved my life lol!

[Rinxxxxx]

lmao, i thought her name was hammersley but it was waaaaaay off the mark, turned out it was pringle!!! i feel so sorry for her : (

[barrosarts]

her "Kitty" who appeared on Victoria Wood was also a step closer to Hyacinth.It ALL added up in the end.

[chiteach2]

I watch this once a week.

[clazza01]

@chiteach2 any specific reason?

[Theragll]

Great that you posted this on you tube, its an excellent monologue, so thanks. You can purchase both 'Talking Heads' dvd's online. The second series includes another excellent Patricia Routledge monologue, where she plays a spinster involved in a rather interesting relationship with a chiropodist.

Have to disagree about the Hyacinth Bucket inspiration. Search for Victoria Wood's 'Kitty' character and I believe you will notice a closer resemblance.

MUCHO FABO LOVE

~ Patricia Routledge ~ THANK YOU :)

[lavagroove]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for this.

[fraserkatie]

Adam, she would have read the story by Alan Bennett and then remembered the lines.

[MattAlgren]

FYI, this is part of the DVD "Patricia Routledge in Three Portraits". You can find it on amazon etc.

[craiges2002]

Love her.

[TTTRRRAAA3]

10/10 love alans work .

[1979LITTLEMISS]

Yes, definitely Hyacinth here, doing her bit for society! You're right. Makes me wonder if Hyacinth's mother might have been like this!

[wheaters12]

[crossandrew]

[catbirdtree]

How appropriate to be writing thank you for this. I'm sure this is an highly appropriate use of the new technology, for which many thanks, not that it's a patch on Basildon Bond.

[GozerJr]

You can defintley hear Hyacinth in this, it's funny

[Cheryn6111]
