Miriam’s Great American Adventure - an unexpected treat

[editor]

Well, this one took me by surprise. I'm not a fan of celebrity travelogues at all, but Miriam is a wonderfully engaging, funny and outspoken host.

it won't change your life, but it's an entertaining hour!

I love the way she just says anything.

"Are you gay for the stay?"

Is it a series or a one off?

She was good on the real marigold hotel recently. Particularly the one in China- she go from being overwhelmed by the beauty of something to moaning endlessly about nothing

It's a three parter.

Series 1, Miriam's Big American Adventure - BBC One

I'll let you watch it without spoiler. But, yes, she's just as eccentric, mercurial, opinionated and entertaining as you'd expect.

Brilliant series. Sitting on a wall with the rapper on the wrong side of town is just so Miriam.

She did ask Robert if she could use a bad word first

Apparently when asked if she'd been groped in a #metoo way she said "No. Unfortunately". Which has got the usuals spewing on Twitter.

The conversation with the gang member in the car park was good. He was a big Harry Potter fan!

All the clips of her on the Graham Norton show are great. This anecdote is amazing, Stanley Tucci's reaction is priceless

I loved this series. I do find it disturbing how fundamentally Christian the USA is. Well some of it. Mind you that Christian family she met were nice. When the mother of the family cried due to Miriam not having any faith. I felt like crying myself at her pious attitude. Those people will never see the bigger picture and I find that rather sad. No one really knows what's going on in the universe for sure.

Miriam is a West Ham United supporter and for that reason she can do no wrong.

A few years ago I got interested in a holiday let 'cottage' perched on the cliffs near Dover.
My interest was sparked by the info that Peter Ustinov was stationed there when it was a gun emplacement during WW2.
After the war it seems he liked it so much he bought it from the MOD and turned it into a holiday home.
I just thought it seemed unusual, and that's the sort of thing I go for.
After a few emails I established the owner lived in Australia, but then communication started coming by phone and I realised it was Miriam Margolyes.
Everything got a bit more lighthearted and some banter ensued.
Anyway we stayed there and however much she says it's dog friendly it certainly wasn't dog safe, the front garden had no fencing and it was a 300ft sheer drop down the cliff.
