Have I Got News For You

Yes I thought she looked fab.

Agreed!

I said exactly the same to my husband.
Was it Joan Bakewell who was described as ‘the thinking man’s crumpet’ ?

Yes.

Yes, now you mention it she was known as the thinking man’s crumpet JenniferEccles.
She looked even better tonight than she did in her younger days.
I normally wouldn’t comment about a woman’s appearance but with so many of us approaching old age seeing her as intelligent and more beautiful at 89 must give us hope.

and she still has that strong voice when she speaks, the power behind the voice!

Glad Ian hislop got round of applause.

Yes JB looked good and spoke well too

It was a tie yesterday but why does Paul Merton always win? Ian Hislop always takes it well but must get fed up sometimes.
Hadn’t realised JBs age, she looks and sounds so much younger.

Made the same comment to each other here to each other, incredible.

Sad that the look of Helen Mirren on Friday attracts so many comments while the amazing appearance of 89 year old Joan Bakewell doesn’t.
As women why are we so keen to criticise other women?

That's the power of a photograph Esspee. Without an image to check on, it is difficult to make a comment.

Joan Bakewell looked very unlike herself, I thought. I didn’t recognise her at first.

Joan Bakewell looked very unlike herself, I thought. I didn’t recognise her at first.

I thought she looked even better than in her younger days with a softer hairstyle.
Fat chance that I’ll look as amazing at 89.

Thank you.
I can't remember her with glasses before? But those tortoiseshell ones make her look both intelligent and attractive.

There is hope for us all yet.

Joan Bakewell was very good looking in her younger years and has the sort of features and hair that she well.I thought she looked great on HIGNFY.

Age Well.

Yes, JB looked great.
Yes, I, too, was glad Ian got applause.
We always wonder how points are awarded, but we love HIGNFY.

She looked great and I am quite envious of her teeth
