      She is a lot more than an actress, she is brilliant, and some of it does have to be ad libbed, according to what she answers. Her delivery and control are impeccable. BBC should continue making these until the day she wants to retire because she is not only generating a legacy of unique comedy, it is also educational and a great refresher for all on s side variety of topics. Love her, SHE is a national treasure, ad are all these professors and academics.
