Used to love watching them cook together

those were the good old days, having a drink and a smoke at the end of the show, and both told it like it is! a far cry from today.

Sad news.

I always wondered what chaos would ensue if they ever teamed up with Keith Floyd.

Sad news. Just watched her in the recent BBC show How to Get Ahead at Medieval Court and I thought she was looking suddenly old. May she be enjoying the big all-you-can-eat in the sky.

Threesome, definitely a threesome.

It's a shame, I enjoyed two fat ladies.

Just the thought of that brings a smile to my face

Not a great age but she seems to have crammed a full life in before the end and I loved how she never took up with all the PC nonsense.

RIP - you couldn't create a character like her if you tried! British eccentricity at its best

The Telegraph obituary makes good reading.

Her description of Tony Blair is inspired.

She wasn't the most PC, but that was a good thing. Everyone seems to be offended by everything in this day and age. RIP Clarissa.

Something else I've noticed on the news is - there seems to be a celebrity death almost every day lately.

Saw the thread title and thought "will scrape" until I realised I was in GD and not motors.

Such a shame RIP, They obviously enjoyed what they did and it was fun watching them. Agree with the above, 2 fat ladies and Keith Floyd would have amazing though most of the show wouldnt be aired these days.

It s a delight,

Later she observed the budding union between Booth (“desperately needy”) and Tony Blair (“a poor sad thing with his guitar”). Later still she observed that the “wet, long-haired student” that she had known had been replaced by a man with “psychopath eyes. You know those dead eyes that look at you and try to work out what you want to hear?”)

Embarrassed myself earlier - a particularly unflattering picture came up on the news... I only caught a glance and asked if it was one of the hairy bikers.
