    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.

      Her diction is music to my ears. No “wanna” instead of “want do”, no “twenny” instead of “twenty” etc. etc.

    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.

      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.

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.
