Kathy Burke's All Woman

[Ceej]

I was at school with KB - she was in my sister's year and even in a girls convent school full of the mean girls, she was an icon. Exactly the same as she is now. Loved her from afar. Bumped into her in a Camden pub many years later and we chatted about school. 'Fucking hated that place' - Big Jo (aka Sister Josephine, Mother Superior, definitely related to the Sopranos) told her she was far too opinionated to ever be liked! Just loved, respected and revered then...

Just watched this and really enjoyed it. I was struck by the way she didn't talk down to any of the women she was talking to but took everything they said seriously and then tried to encourage them and boost their confidence in being themselves/

Watching now. Love Samantha Morton.
Loved when Kathy said as much as she enjoyed her nieces and friends children she was glad when she could go home shut the door and 'skin up'

 

[moomoo]

How do I watch this?

 

[kalidarkone]

It's on channel 4 right now and you could watch the first episode on 4od.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

I really hope that every girl sees this. And I LOVE Nadia. Never heard of her. She's super cool.

 

[Voley]

Tonight's was brilliant, too. She's fucking great. Best thing on telly by far atm.

'A fat fucking fuck on a fat fucking bike. Twat.'

I liked how she said, oh someone called me a fat fuck on twitter. But I do call Boris Johnson a cunt on there a lot. So you know swings and roundabouts

Words to that effect anyway.

It just gets better every week.
' love is magnificent, but it can also be like wasps'. ' It's still okay to compliment women, just don't grab them by the fanny while your doing it' .

The show has delivered and some.
Some great quotes (paraphrasing) "I would be good mother because I have big squishy boobs?"

I caught up on episode three last night. The only disappointment was her not pressing in her gentle friendly manner why the married man of 60 years only started helping his wife after he retired. But apart from that a great episode again. I delight in watching her move from her initial position and empathise without judgement with those she speaks to. But she is confident enough in her own self to move back to her own position.

We need to see/hear more of Kathy Burke. And I'll be listening to those podcasts soon. Thanks to those who posted links.

I know it's just dropped off All4 tonight so I just caught the last one before it went. Fuck me I'd love to sit around smoking fags and drinking gallons of tea with her. She's so very right and I've been telling mates who have left relationships for years that the best thing you can do is stay single for a while and find out who you really are. It's fucking great!

 

[JudithB]

It was disappointing there were only three episodes and they dealt with beauty, motherhood and marriage. Programmes on education and activism would have been excellent. Perhaps we (I?) need to write to the production company and suggest some other strands?

 

[Voley]

I'd be surprised if there isn't another series. I only ever saw people praising it.

 

[MrSki]

 

[JudithB]

And your point is?

 

[Treacle Toes]

And your point is?

I think MrSki is celebrating Kathy's short and to the point question.

 

[Poot]

I actually don't think there is a thread on Urban at the moment where this would not add value.

 

[JudithB]

I think MrSki is celebrating Kathy's short and to the point question.

Nice when we're talking about something positive about women innit

 

[Calamity1971]

I think MrSki is celebrating Kathy's short and to the point question.

And wishful thinking.

 

[MrSki]

And your point is?

Sorry I thought a thread about Kathy Burke would be a good place to post a tweet by Kathy Burke. I wasn't actually trying to make a point, I was leaving that to KB.

 

[scifisam]

Nice when we're talking about something positive about women innit

She's insulting BoJo, I consider that a positive thing to do

 

[JudithB]

She's insulting BoJo, I consider that a positive thing to do

Aha then I will concur

Shame another thread became about men

Kb's programme also involved men. I really don't see the problem here?
