Doctor Who - Katy Manning / Jo Grant & Liza Minnelli 1996

[Geezworld234]

Katy Manning is such a legend! She made me laugh so much, shes crazy! I <3 herr xx

[midianholic]

Ruby Wax is a fat cunt.

[Velocity9s]

Was that a pair of thigh-high boots Katy Manning was wearing? Yummy!

[skrinkle2000]

AWESOME :)

[mikewarns]

Who the F is Ruby Wax? Granted, I'm a Yank, but NO ONE should go through life containing THAT much embalmer's wax. Was she merely misnamed?

[outofthegreenmist]

Interesting.

[MaskedMan66]

Why don't some interviewers RESEARCH who they're going to be speaking with??? Katy (not "Kate") Manning was not the first Doctor Who girl at all.

[outofthegreenmist]

@MaskedMan66 The researchers on QI get things wrong. Why can't Dr Who (oops, sorry, Doctor Who) fans learn to relax about silly details like this? It's hardly BigotGate. KatyGate!

[MaskedMan66]

@outofthegreenmist As it happens, I am a "Doctor Who" fan (though I have no problem with spelling it as "Dr. Who"), but even if I weren't, I'd have a problem with people not getting simple information-- like a person's name-- right.

Irritation at the ham-headed inability to be accurate in one's fact-finding is not limited to "Dr. Who" fans by any means; you'll find folk in all walks of life like that.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

Ruby Wax's show never made any sense, so this clip is typical. Noisy, confusing, you wonder why the canned laughter is having convulsions of mirth because nothing very funny is in fact taking place. Katy looks stunning, though.

[RobTFirefly]

what is this i dont even

[DistantCousin]

I love them all but I think in this case, Ruby can't get one over on Liza and Katy because they've worked this all out already, and in the battle of wits, (unusually) Ruby has not come out on top and unable to get the audience so on HER side, because L & K were genuinely funny and endearing.

[JohannaAmy]

WHAT is going on here???? what was katy doing in 4:49??? :-0

[23skid]

Katy told me they'd had escstasy that day...

[bobbyshaddoe3004]

OMG! Liza Minnelli & Katy Manning! I love this!

[HTprods]

first doctor who girl? that wrong.

[outofthegreenmist]

@HTprods In the context of this interview, does it really matter? It wasn't made for Doctor Who fans.

[negek]

Brilliant entertainment from all 3 actresses.

Champagne for everyone

[MerlinTiserant]

Yay! I've been looking for this video for years and years... I thought I was remembering it wrong but its just as mental as I thought! Thank you so much for uploading this

[kevinherbert]

Katy's Miss Dixon at 2.12 is absolutely classic...

[kevinherbert]

Ruby..you're such a tough bitch..."is that your pants in my mouth?.....

[shealways]

i woodnt turn up for a show with ruby wax either..shes got no class

[shealways]

fuc off ruby wax your not funny

[garrychelsea]

oh the horror of drugs

[borgduck]

Kate & Liza really put Ruby in her place! hurrah!

[grai]

how?

Liza Minnelli was obviously shocked at Ruby Wax being so sarcastic with her and showing her anger at Minnelli not showing up for an arranged interview

Liza clearly doesnt get people being that real with her very often

She's used to sad sychophantic little side-kicks like this tragic Katy Monning person

[grai]

what a pair of silly shallow idiots Kate Whoever-You-Are and Liza "Did I Mention My Mother 346 Times Yet" Minnelli who looks like a junkie and can't believe that Ruby Wax isn't going to be treating her like some massive old time Hollywood star and just wants an apology for being a silly bitch!

[borgduck]

WTF?? Katy & Liza rightfully stole the limelight away from Ruby Wax! I've met Katy & she's a really nice person!

[grai]

stole the limelight?? Poor drunk Liza did EXACTLY what Ruby Wax wanted her to do which was to arrive drunk with a stooge and make a fool of herself

I've met Ruby several times - we have mutual friends - she HATES junkies

[borgduck]

KATY MANNING IS NOT A JUNKIE!!!!

[grai]

yeah - she looks like a really together person!!

[borgduck]

You agree, great!!

[iluvALLmusicYAY]

katy manning is not a junkie, and she is not drunk, she does not drink

[grai]

do you know if she has a history of mental illness?

why is she behaving like that? And wearing those clothes?

Or is she just not very bright and desperate for attention?

[iluvALLmusicYAY]

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS KATY MANNING MENTALLY ILL. that is just her character. she is extremely intelligent, and is not desperate for attention

[grai]

are you a member of her family?

Or her agent?

[iluvALLmusicYAY]

i am neither a member of her family nor her agent but i have been great friends with katy for many years and see her as a part of my family

[grai]

I respect loyalty among friends

[paganprincess33]

i knew her daughter years ago but lost touch. from what i heard about katy she seemed very sane and hardworking- thanks for sticking up for her- that really angers me!!

[borgduck]

I've met her a number of times. I must admit I was shocked when after a two year absence from conventions she told me that she thinks about me daily, An insignificant nobody such as myself??

A beautiful lady!

[MaskedMan66]

@borgduck Of all the DW celebs I have not yet met, she is the one I most want to meet. I had a huge crush on her when the Pertwee stories were tunning in the US.

[borgduck]

@MaskedMan66 You should meet her! Be more vigilant online & search out Doctor Who/Sci-Fi conventions in America. She's definitely about on the circuit, even more so, now that she is appearing on SJA!

[MaskedMan66]

@borgduck I know, I can't wait to see that episode. I'm limited to the Chicagoland area, but on the other hand,we do have one of the biggest DW cons in the US.

[MaskedMan66]

@MaskedMan66 *running

[borgduck]

I've also been honoured to meet Katy, she is so caring & kind!

[borgduck]

Grai, my friend, just shut up please.

[ozjvgon]

Liza looks way to thin hear and looks like she is using!

[grai]

is the pope a catholic - they're both off their silly tits

[rawfulralph]

I remember catching sight of this while channel-hopping, and wondering what on Earth Katy Manning was doing there.

[rawfulralph]

Hmm, two thumbs down. Was there something wrong with expressing the fact that, years ago, I was surprised to see Katy Manning turn up on a programme about Liza Minnelli? Or have people simply misunderstood my comment?

I suppose I'll never know.

[rawfulralph]

I reckon I'm being marked down simply for being able to handle spelling and punctuation.

[MaskedMan66]

Erm.... Carole Ann Ford was the first Doctor Who girl, if you please!

[garrychelsea]

you forgot jaqueline hill

[MaskedMan66]

I didn't forget her, I just said who was the first. Oh, but hang on... Ah! If you mean who was the first to appear on the show, you're quite right, though I think Miss Wright would disdain the label "girl." I was thinking as far as who traveled with the Doctor first in internal chronology, and that would be Susan.

[princessjoots]

2:45.....they have MATCHING bracelets!!!!! how cute! x

[guillermocd28]

3 Hurras for minute 4:40!

[angieros]

FANTASTIC!!! Love Love Liza!!! Is there more to this??? Would love to see more...soooo funny!!!! Liza is brilliant!!

Thanks for posting....

[rokitunes]

Thanks for your comments:)

Unfortunately the clip posted was the only bit of the episode that featured Liza.

[myrnaloysboy]

@angieros Hi, there was no more - this was it I remember it when it was first broadcast.

[Lomisha]

I love this! this is brilliant! thanks for posting!

[rokitunes]

Thats ok. Just wanted to share.

[balto4]

I love liza

[michaeloh6]

i tell ya...i think ruby is the one who has the problem...no class.

[bogardesbar]

True. Ruby Wax is out of her depth here. Katy Manning & Liza are far more funny, and Wax is trying very hard to keep up, but fails dismally!

[garrychelsea]

katy and liza are drugged up to the eyeballs

[iluvALLmusicYAY]

um, no theyre not

[garrychelsea]

so she is just mad then? noone sane or sober acts like that,

[iluvALLmusicYAY]

yes, i know her, and she is definitely completely insane! in a good way. that is just how she is.

[iluvALLmusicYAY]

type katy manning panopticon into the youtube search bar. watch part 2, skip forward to around 8 minutes in. you will see how insane she is!

[irishsingeractor]

i dunno wut i thnk of this lol
