Joyce Grenfell - all rights belong to the BBC. I did not make this video, I just want to share her talent. To see more of Joyce purchase the BBC collection on DVD. If you enjoyed this watch "More Eng Lit".

  • How did she remember all that script? Never an er or um or stumble.

    A brilliant observer of life and a thoroughly nice human being. Pity we've lost her.

    RIP Joyce.

  • Joyce a true Engish gem, my favourite was the school teacher "George Don't do that"

  • Thank you SO much Willzdc~! *mwah*~! it is my favourite too~!

  • @missdotgee It's called 'Ballad' it's my favourite song by her! x

  • Mrs. Barham!!!!!

  • ".........gothic."

  • Hi Quityertalking~! All i know is it about a birthday for the aged dowager. It starts with something like "you'd never know to see me now, but i was once young and fair, with hair as red as the fox, they said" and it ends with something like "And now, the Dowager Duchess said, I am far too old to care, but she was pale as any ghost, when she walked up the stair.."~! :-) Perhaps my dad was wrong and it was not even Joyce Grenfell, i am not sure~!

  • Oh gosh my father (RIP) introduced me to this wonderful woman. Thanks for posting!

  • Priceless!...xxx....TY for posting!

  • Funny stuff. Very good at a plumy voice, Great to watch and so so so so so so so so so so so so so funny. :D:P

  • @bs3bloke ... Oops, sorry my info was wrong there... But what a fantastic woman Joyce was... I have just watched a tribute to Alistair Sim.. and she acted with the marvelous man in the St Trinians films... A total star, regal, funny and very very watchable.... ;0)x

  • @wenglishsal Grenfell was indeed the niece of Nancy AstOr and Astor was indeed an American heiress; but she was not connected with the Woolworth family.

  • Wonderful, I adore Joyce.

  • What a super talented lady... And she was the niece of Lady Aster... From the Woolworth family... What a brilliant observer of people and she transports you into her world... Fantastic :0)x

  • Another great monologue!

  • such a great woman!!!
