Those of us remember Pam first came on tv and win the contest again...and became instant star..Some 60bysars later I was talking to some budding poets and suggested they looked up Pam ,now that Google etc avail.. And every one loved her style, words and everything about her Thank you Pam you made a 85 year old happy...just listening. ❤
I don’t think it was quite 60 years ago but it was certainly getting on towards it! I can’t be sure without looking it up but I’d guess that I was about 6-7 perhaps at the time she was on Opportunity Knocks. I distinctly recall my Dad asking Mum if it was the girl from his office. It was and he came home from work a couple of nights later with a copy of her first (self published) book with an inscription inside for my brother and I.
Have followed and loved Pam Ayres since I was a young teen. Brilliant talent, unique, there will never be another like her sadly. I’ve enjoyed reading her poems and stories to others and laughing our heads off because they’re so funny and so true.
Oct 20, 2019. I a 78 years old. This is the first time I ever heard of Pam Ayers. A perfect example that no matter how old you are, there is something to learn. She could be on anyone's show, stand up anywhere.
miller forester. AND, without the foul disgusting language they all use, to their shame it’s the women also. Pam Ayers is lovely. Might be inuendo, but it’s the lovely Morecambe and Wise sort.
Those of you who have heard the lady before will enjoy the repeat. Those who have never before, will be surprised and pleased, at such brilliant skill.
We in New Zealand Loved our primary teacher reading her child appropriate poems to us in to 80s. Esp " i wish I looked after my teeth" ... First relevant and fun poems we'd ever heard. 😊
Apart from William Shakespeare, Pam Ayres was the furst poet I knew and she was the definately the first I enjoyed. What a great talent she has. In a quiet way I think she is a national treasure. :)
That is exactly what I think………if she were, we would all look forward to each important event in the country being celebrated by a brilliant poet. PA doesn’t only write great, amusing, poems. Years ago I heard her reading a poem about how she felt when her son left home….to go to University, I think it was. It was so moving, and so true.
Absolutely love Pam Ayres. Her over pronounced diction is just perfect. I would've love to have seen a collaboration with the late great Victoria Wood. Now that would have been something really special ❤
Pam Ayres, you are absolutely the Icing on the Cake. It's not easy making me laugh these days as I've got a bit old and grumpy, but I laughed and laughed at your poem and I bet my kids would say, "That sounds just like Dad," If they heard it.
Good Old Pam. I first saw her on the TV while I was still in the army at Bulford in Wiltshire in 1975/76. I thought she was brilliant then and still do
This brings back so many childhood memories, laughing with my father. She is pure genius and her creations are hilarious. Good old fashioned humour wrapped in a poem. Love you Pam. A family favourite. 🇦🇺 I don’t like the Ashes line though 😂
@@elaineprescott3972 I agree with you jane , all they feed us now are obnoxious unfunny morons who cannot deliver a line without several expletives , yet just listen to how hilarious pam is , yet the tv bosses are not interested
tom jones. But they were! I’ve seen her live shows around the country and watched every one of her dozens of tv shows! Do you mean you never saw her? She was awarded the MBE in 2004 for ‘services to comedy’. Her shows were 2 hours long on radio. She was active and such a hit in the 1990s/2000s and was still doing these shows in 2017/18. Excellent good clean fun. A lovely lady, .
Absolutely brilliant, saw her again last November in Oxford and she's as good as ever to an enthusiastic packed house. I've just read her autobiography, The Necessary Aptitude.
Such a kind lady. I asked permission to print one of her poems ( Tippy Tappy Feet) in a dog club magazine. She replied in person giving permission and no charge
It's not my fault that I know everything. Blame my wife, she insists I have an answer ready for everything, without my answer she is powerless, because she will have nothing to argue about....
That line ‘I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong/ Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong’ is pure gold!
😂
She was always able to put everyday experiences and feelings into poetry- what a talent!

Her talent and diction's like a breath of fresh air!!! LOVE her act!!!
Her diction is music to my ears. No “wanna” instead of “want do”, no “twenny” instead of “twenty” etc. etc.
😊

miller forester ,How True. 👍🤣🤣
miller forester. She has! On TV many many times. Travels the country giving shows just like this. I’ve seen her twice. Brilliant isn’t she.
Just found this, she is spot on👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hope you enjoyed Pam Ayres, she is a wee national treasure. She done a lot of TV in the 60s and 70s

Great fun and Pam never disapoints. Love her cheeky grin when she comes to the punch line.
This has cheered me up immensely on a sad day
A history lesson of the time ..... its a tribute to her poetic skills that they are remembered as Pam Ayres is herself ....
She still tours i saw her show last year in Oxford.
Those of you who have heard the lady before will enjoy the repeat. Those who have never before, will be surprised and pleased, at such brilliant skill.

I love her,she make smile and that hard in this day and time
Brilliant!!! There will be many a wife/partner out there shouting "that's just him!!!" A comedic pleasure to hear. Well done Pam!!!
Never gets old.......watching this on the last day of 2019.
Josie Thornton into the early hours of 2020 and I’m the same!!...she’s absolutely marvellous
Josie Thornton want to chat watch this

What a talent, there’s only one Pam, the world would be a lesser place without this genius 💋💋💋should be a dame

Genius ……….. are you serious . She’s popular with people who don’t read or travel.
Simpleton.
Such an awesome, understated talent. We love you, Pam!
A Masterpiece. SHE should be the Poet Laureate

Hello 👋 how are you doing?
What an absolute joy, Pam is! Would love to see her on television; her own show would be a tonic for us all!!!
check her out in the series on the Cotswolds - she doesnt recite any poetry though sadly but its still great to watch
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
You Brits can be so delightful. Love from Missouri USA. 🌹
What a treasure Pam is!! If only we could bottle her humour: what a tonic that would be!!!!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Wonderful. Pam Ayres' words and rhymes are spot on. And I love the accent too.
Pam, and this video in particular, should be included on the NHS's prescribed list of remedies ! What a fabulously talented person she is !
Not until your abdominal surgery has fully healed! 😆
I love her poems; have most of her books and been lucky enough to have seen her live more than once. Thank you Pam.
That poem just made me fall about laughing the best tonic anyone could have well done Pam 😂😂❤
I have a feeling there are Millions of women that this will resonate with. Bless'em all!
I remember Pam and it's lovely to hear her poems again.
Pam is a joy and a treasure! Love her!
She knows my Dad :)....and , since he passed away 10 years ago , i have a funny feeling , that she knows ME now !
Sooo funny. Love Pam. Her poem's resonate with everyone. 💚
Love this. Ayres is a legend.

Excellent! I've been called Pam Ayres the second by friends, but I am not as good as she is! Absolutely Fabulous!
I would Definitely pay ... to sit in an auditorium for an evening... This was fantastic!
She has a true talent
I have happy memories of when Pam first appeared on telly. Memories of my dearest, gentle, much missed mother laughing.
Absolutely love Pam Ayres. Her over pronounced diction is just perfect. I would've love to have seen a collaboration with the late great Victoria Wood. Now that would have been something really special ❤

Good Old Pam. I first saw her on the TV while I was still in the army at Bulford in Wiltshire in 1975/76. I thought she was brilliant then and still do
This has lightened up my world & made me genuinely smile and laugh. Beautiful & witty. Xx
Pam Ayres, what a national treasure she is!
Utterly unique brilliance. Love this wonderful lady
I used to love watching her on TV decades ago. She's still delightful.
As a husband I ca only applaud PamAyes Perspicacity and wisdom
Absolutely brilliant but of course nothing like my husband!
I love the way the audience joins in with the last line 😂 classic Pam xx
Pam is so brilliant.. Really love her work.. It's such a wonderful thing to make people smile. :o)
This is homespun wisdom. I am also from her neck of the woods. Love it.
I loved her on radio 2 on Sundays, I miss her loads, top woman, and her Husband sounds like me.
Very clever and funny lady. Great talent. Pete Hutley, Newcastle,Australia
As always - simply brilliant.
Love this lady's poetry.... always makes me smile....
Brilliant! Absolutely loved it. It's so nice to laugh again.
This brings back so many childhood memories, laughing with my father. She is pure genius and her creations are hilarious. Good old fashioned humour wrapped in a poem. Love you Pam. A family favourite. 🇦🇺 I don’t like the Ashes line though 😂
I had a crush on Pam as a kid and she's still beautiful and funny
Her mischievous smile never ages. What a bright spirit!
Pam makes it seem easy. It is really very very witty and brilliant. Thank you Pam.
Loved her show on Radio 4. 'Ayres On the Air.' She is a talent.
She mentioned every husband in the world!!! Very nice,enjoyed every sentence lol
That was FABULOUS !!! Very funny and a nice way for me to start my weekend - always nice to laugh. Kudos Pam.
"I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong,
Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong."
Love it!!! ;o)

moondiamondcat Awww you and me both 🤪 Seriously
Haha
the glazing of your eyeballs! GENIUS!
Wonderful female Benny Hill and thoroughly entertaining.
Wonderful
Would be nice to see this type of humor back on TV Clean and funny... Come back Pam
Jane Winkles I definitely agree with you! ☺
@@elaineprescott3972 I agree with you jane , all they feed us now are obnoxious unfunny morons who cannot deliver a line without several expletives , yet just listen to how hilarious pam is , yet the tv bosses are not interested
Jane Winkles I’m with you
Jane Winkles. Exactly! Get rid of all these filthy worded, filthy minded so called comedians. Including, to her shame, Sarah Millican.

Very, very funny, and she brings joy to our lives,
Of course i know some husbands who say the same things of their wives.
Now, this is the truth.
It isn't gender what makes it so, though what does I do not know...
The Godmother of hip-hop.
She is bloody brilliant
Pam you are fantastic!
What more can you say about our Pam.... a genius.
Absolutely perfect -- couldn't have said it better myself! 😂💚
I also remember loving her as a child (in the 1970's). Such a lovely lady and a national treasure.
How can you not love Pam ? x
Always thought her diction was excellent, a brilliant speaking voice. Good old Pam. Not one f word and very entertaining without being boring.🇬🇧🤓
Absolutely brilliant, saw her again last November in Oxford and she's as good as ever to an enthusiastic packed house. I've just read her autobiography, The Necessary Aptitude.
🤗🤗 Brilliant she is..was and always will be
Sensational and I think she wrote this poem about my husband .
Love It! I have one just like him. I feel your pain...
“...Infallible, articulate, self-confident, and wrong.”
She’s hilarious. How have I missed out on her until now?
Over so many years Pam is a treasure and delight!
A national treasure ... if in doubt and feeling sad, google Pam Ayres ... she's, well, sort off, mad.
Very entertaining and very true of that she grew up.
Absolutely brilliant and I have a friend like her 'busband'
Pam Ayres is brilliant
Such a kind lady. I asked permission to print one of her poems ( Tippy Tappy Feet) in a dog club magazine. She replied in person giving permission and no charge
She has become a fervent campaigner for animal rights. and for wild life. She has an enormous heart
This woman she is something. Bloody awesome
I love her. Shes amazing😃❤
Excellent dissertation, delivered by a champion comedian
Underrated Genius ❤❤❤
She is awesome!
This might be 13 years ago. But the problems named are still very accurate. Love this. Thanks.
What’s clever is that since this performance, she’s updated some verses with more recent events. I’ve heard another couple of new versions.
Why is this wonderful lady not a Dame by now, typical that those who deserve it never do!
I absolutely love her
It's not my fault that I know everything. Blame my wife, she insists I have an answer ready for everything, without my answer she is powerless, because she will have nothing to argue about....
