Another Real Marigold Hotel.

If you go on the bbc web site - put in The Real Marigold Hotel - and click on the photo of the celebrities and then click on celebrity residents each one has done a Q and A regarding their experience.
I found it very interesting!

Zandra did say her partner had been at deaths door for three years so she probably needed a break. She seemed to have acquired loads more fabric and clothing so hope she brought a few extra suitcases. She was a lot more down to earth than I expected but had some odd lipstick choices with her bright pink hair.

Britt is totally bonkers. What current acting career does she keep referring to? Is it all in her mind?

Paul’s leg looked painful. I don’t suppose they had lymphodemia clinics when he first hurt his leg.

Enjoying the others - lovely how the locals are so thrilled with Blowers though he’s obviously been beating himself up for the mistake he made though I’m not sure what it actually was.

One of my favourite programmes. Fascinating to see how some characters are just as you would expect and others totally different.

I read an article earlier that he’d died in June. It didn’t mention whether Zandra made it home in time

I do think that if I had a 97 year old partner I might not have committed myself to a month in India...

Oh, give it a rest Britt! She could easily have introduced the wonderful dancer but no, she had to be on stage. Me,me,me even when it is another’s birthday party.

Sorry that Zandra is having to leave under very sad circumstances.

But she dined out on her very short marriage to Peter Sellers ever since. She even mentioned it again last night.
It's the editors who choose which clips to show in the programme. I suppose she's 'comedy gold'!

On a recent Peter Sellars documentary, his housekeeper related how, at his funeral when they were all sitting in the crematorium and the service was about to start, there was a big kerfuffle at the back, and Britt, (one of the ex wives), made a dramatic entrance, glamourously dressed in black and white, and seated herself at the back!

But I bet all eyes were on her.

She looked gorgeous, and said she went to support their daughter.

Also said she still loved him, which I’m sure she did, as he dumped her I think.

I was disappointed that the birthday party centred on the needy Britt. I would have liked to hear more of Barbara Dixon singing - she is good at what she does. Better than Britt trying too hard.

Oh dear I'm beginning not to like the shallow Britt. Not someone who I could make a friend of-----the others are great and it's just unfortunate that Zandra has to leave as she's a great character.
Barbara is such a warm genuine person with no pretence at being someone she isn't.

That poor chap and his swollen leg, good Heavens, well done to him for not letting it stop him from enjoying himself, I admire his spirit. To think I'm moaning to myself at my feet swelling ! Nowhere near as bad as that.

An embarrassing remark from Duncan---he'd probably had a text from his young wife ? He was late sitting to dinner when he said it.

Susie seemed to really enjoy her birthday didn’t she? ?

Poor Paul, is there no cure for fluid in legs? I’ve only been aware of it as something that can happen in the heat/ on long bus journeys/ in pregnant women. I ignorantly thought it was a temporary condition.

Britt, without being too unkind, makes me laugh when she isn’t trying to. When she said it was too dark in her room to put makeup on, she came onto the balcony in the light and said “I look like a circus horse” . I was thinking if anything in a circus she resembled a clown . How spiteful I am ?

Blowers continues to be charming. And Barbara.
Zandra is amazing.

As for Duncan, well ..... just that. As my old boss used to say “If I put all the people I like on a bus he wouldn’t be on it”.

I have just watched the latest episode on catch up and really enjoyed it.
I agree with all that's been said about Britt - she is so deluded about how important she is. My husband caught a glimpse of her (he wasn't watching with me but came into the room) and he actually shudderd at her appearance. But in her defence it must be so awful to be so beautiful when you are young and to know that you aren't beautiful any more (and she does know because she said about her failed plastic surgery ops).
It was very brave of Barry to let the world see his poor leg. Once again it made me realise that we never know what other people are dealing with in their lives. I so wanted the doctor to be able to cure it for him .
I am also sad that Zandra had to go home - I will miss her.
Yes it's a great programme and I was happy to get up this morning to watch it

Britt honestly thinks she is an actor. Poor lady is living in la-la land! She is full of herself but admits to being vain which I find sweet really (although irritating if I had to spend too long in her company). Self obsessed like many clebs.

I love Barbara. I could definitely spend time with her. She is a calming presence.

Zandra was so attractive wasn’t she on those posters? Her hair was less pink and suited her better. She is such a jolly lady. Nice she has stayed friends for all those years with the lady who has the tapestry business.

No, I didn’t notice it, but am sure you’re right. Britt has to be the star of the show. I think the dance was far more difficult and complicated for an elderly person than she had anticipated.

Duncan dropped the biggest hints tonight that he is not up for any dalliance with Britt!

My heart went out to gentle, likeable Chuckle chap, hoping in vain to find a solution for his swollen leg. Obviously a very private matter up to now.

Of all the RMH series so far, this bunch come across as the most normal, down to earth, ordinary celebrities so far.

Just watched this evening’s episode. Sorry to see Zandra heading home.

Anyone else detected a few uncomfortable glances between Barbara and Britt at Zandra’s final dinner?

Britt appeared to make an entrance and barge in to sit beside Zandra. Barbara left her seat and moved to the other side of the table to make room for her but looked rather uncomfortable.

Almost word for word what seacliff just said . Britt Eckland still thinking she is the “Bond Girl” and that “arm candy” expression to Duncan B (who has a wife young enough to be his daughter),

What attracted you to the multi millionaire Mr Duncan Bannatyne?

Sorry that Zandra had to leave early and loving Blowers .

I am loving this programme, nice bit of escapism. Zandra seems a lovely genuine person. Sad that she had to leave early. I liked Susie too.

Not mad on Duncan and Britt. She goes on about "her work" but she's a bit sad. She doesn't seem interested in anybody or anything else, apart from rich old Duncan.

The driving test was hilarious, the Chuckle brother was brave to drive in those conditions. Poor man, what a terrible leg he has, and has had to put up with it all his adult life.

My idea of hell would be getting stuck on holiday with someone like Britt; she'd drive me insane with her constant need to be seen and heard at all times. I like Sue; she's so delighted with everything she's seeing and seems so open to new experiences. Barbara doesn't seem to have got into her stride yet though.

Britt has to make everything about her doesn't she?

That's sick of!!

I wish Britt would belt up. I'm so suck of her and her attention seeking behaviour.

The last series did feature Stanley Johnson. He was very similar to Blowers. He had a great love for life and embraced participating in everything India had to offer.
Of course he and Blowers come from a very privileged background, but who can blame them for living life to the full. Their enthusiasm for the world around them is quite infectious.

Really looking forward to the next episode - I have to record it and watch it the next morning because Mr R doesn't want to watch it (he will still be in bed when I watch it).
I hope Barbara livens herself up a bit by then!
I too love listening to Blowers talking and Britt flirting with a clearly not interested Duncan.

You are not AD, when I first saw the trailers for this series I wondered why he appeared to be in it again.

No you’re not AD

It’s so easy to be confused when they show trailers for past, present and future series!

I must have switched on when they showed a clip of a previous series which did feature Stanley. How I wish I could edit or delete posts that show that I'm a nutcase!
