The Real Marigold Hotel (series 2)

Someone on TV the other day said Miriam Stoppard looks like Michael Jackson - I can't watch her now without thinking about that. I couldn't help scrutinising her - she's 79 after all - wondering what she had had done, was that her own hair etc? A bit shallow of me I suppose.

I thought the same about doctor Miriam Stoppard Alima (my spelling might be a bit out) her face looks like a frozen mask. I was watching thinking, now who among them hasn't had cosmetic surgery?

I have always thought that Bill Oddie lived up to his name too. Very Odd.

I always thought that Lional Blair was gay. So was quite surprised when he mentioned his wife.

I saw Rustie Lee on TV the other day telling of how ill she was during and after filming.

I think the group is much nicer on the whole than the last lot. I used to love Paul Nicholas in Just Good Friends. Yes, he looks older but there again so do all of us and he comes across as a decent person. I too think Sheila Fergusson comes across as an old bossy boots and Bill Oddie as well, odd. The one I can't get my head around is that doctor, cannot remember her name, what on earth has she done to her face. It can't be natural.

I thought it was rather predictable and maybe they should have stayed at just the original one Paul Nicolas looks quite ill I think and Lionel Blair is so irritating, he is harmless but such an old queen ( I know he's a married man but more camp that a bottle of coffee) Rustie Lee is the only one that I feel I could manage an evening with I think she's genuinely a nice person Amanda looks so miserable all the time I wont stay in firvit but I ll watch if nothing else on

We're watching it and we're taken aback by Paul Nicholas's appearance too. Sheila Fergusson came across as a total prima Donna !

It put in a fleeting appearance last week Annie. That's when the penny (no pun intended)dropped. It really was Paul Nicholas and not some old bloke with the same name.

He was Gilly, where has that naughty smile gone

He was so lovely in Just Good Friends wasn't he?

He looks like a really old man now.

I watched it, haven't recovered from seeing how Paul Nicolas has aged , not helped by the fact I watched Just Good Friends recently
