I met her once and I said something self-depreciating about myself and she said "Don't put yourself down, there's always someone waiting to do that to a working class girl." and I thought how right she was....and I stopped doing it then.
@@dhanga I was working in a theatre where she was performing. She was so down to earth that she used to choose to come out for a pint after work with the staff rather than other famous people lol.
I love gimme gimme gimme. Best comedy ever. Cathy is the best comedy actress we’ve ever had in my opinion. The show is crude but so so funny. I watch it over and over again. So deserved the award.
i thought she said she liked martin freeman , so she said it for comic effect i guess, she didn't mean it, so how 'honest' that is , i don't know. perhaps i'm overthinking this.
@@keef78 I honestly did it out of habit I think, usually do that on Facebook thinking about differing audiences watching, no harm meant. Love a good swear, me.
She has absolutely become a National Treasure, because she is a treasure. Warm, talented, no BS and the way she thanks Jonathan and Leslie shows she has real class. She is brilliant as a straight actress, her Queen Mary was such a scene stealer in ELIZABETH and in Nil By Mouth she is a masterclass in fear. Really enjoying her C4 series on MONEY at the moment too.
GGG was hilarious and still holds up today with people wanting more. So who was right and who was wrong. God bless James Dreyfus the woke scum are really giving him a hard time lately.
Best speech ever given. How underrated is this woman!! She's just as good as judy and Julie and Maggie and all the rest!! She's incredible!!! What a woman!! She deserves all the best
'Gimme Gimme Gimme' is one of the best comedies that we ever had and it always cheers me up. I honestly didn't know it was so badly recieved at the time. I saw it when it first aired and I instantly never forgot how it took risks and made me wish they did more of them.
I was a student foreign in Uk and watched (Nil by mouth). For me it is the best British ever made. She and the male actor are legends in that film. I have never forgotten that film and it tops up my list. I watched it nearly 20 years ago but NEVER forget it. They should put it in the cinema again because that film reflects past present and future. Her acting was surreal. My favourite English actress and I was happy that when I lived in London , it was in the same neighberhoud as she. Shame she deserves more role.
Best part was Leslie Nielsen being initially shocked by Kathy's forthright manner and then thinking "Ooh, I quite like this!". I can imaging working with Kathy would be great fun but bad for your health.
Fantastic as usual Kathy and also absolutely right about everything, Jonathan Harvey is one of the greatest writers to come out of the UK in a very long time and GGG is a surreal gargantuan of a sitcom that deserved so much more than the reactionary nonsense it received. Kathy, well and truly a national treasure and not only a hilarious comedy actress but a staggeringly talented straight actress (as are most brilliant comedy performers), definitely a unique national treasure!
Never seen this speech before. Fuckin’ hilarious. She just doesn’t give a stuff? The greatest shame is that she has given up acting of any kind and now only directs. She is the funniest actress ever, and the most honest and gifted straight actress. I bloody love her.
Don’t matter how many times I watch this , Kathy makes me laugh , many a true word spoken in jest ,love Kathy down to earth straight for the juggler lol Xxxx
We all need friends like Kathy, not pretentious, honest, likes a good swear but she's very kind when you watch her in documentaries. Wish she did more to be honest!
Kathy Burke - seriously funny and I loved what she said about them po-faced reactionary gays and i say that as a gay man myself. By the way James Dreyfuss is brilliant too xxx
I LOVE how popular her win was, especially Ronnie Ancona's hug - she was another nominee. Kathy is wonderfully, joyously, brilliantly talented, God bless her x.
If you watch this with the captions on, you’ll find CZcams mocks Jonathan Ross’ speech impediment LOL! “The tension in the womb is unbelievable” I’m crying!
I’ve loved her since the start, she’s an honest cookie, and one if the finest comedians I know, you are well missed, a sware word is in my opinion nothing to fear, my best girl xx
Just see this speech... Brilliant... Did anyone spot some non smiling egg shells in the crowd... I guess a little swearing here and there is below them..🙄..bit late but well done Kathy 👏👏👏💪
Hilarious!! Kathy Burke is a fantastic actress and a true talent!! She doesn't get the credit she deserves - not only is she a great comedian, but can just as easily turn her hand to "serious" roles too! She is great in Nil By Mouth!
Jesus christ she is so fucking brilliant! I can't think of any actress today who would dare to talk like her for fear of bad press, but kathy couldnt give a shit!..that's why I love her.
One of, if not number one, greatest comedy classic of all time, at home or abroad, and I don't even live there so it's not my home.. .. Amazing series from start to finish, faultless production,they all deserve so much more than they got but future generations will enjoy that satire as much as we did, timeless comedy, well done to everyone involved... Xxx and she was a looker...!!
Jeesus I wish North America had celebs like this. A little honesty and real talent would do wonders for Hollywood. Having a laugh and a beer at the awards show while listening to someone who deserves what they are receiving.. what a concept!
All I can say is a love Kathy B .she has been my favourite female actress since I saw her on Harry Enfield when it first aired on tv .she brings a joy and energy with a big ladle of keeping it real .She is just such a amazing actress and comedian. Ye I’m a huge fan .always wishing her well she has had her battles with Health but keeps smiling ❤️❤️
Many years ago I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely lady at the time I was managing a clothing store called Ted Baker in king street in Manchester Kathy Burke is one of the nicest people I've had the fortune to meet and to serve a wonderful talented and hilarious lady.
Awwww Paul...my heart just melted a little bit and I got all teary eyed... I love Kathy Burke so much!!! My all-time favorite comedy skit is she and Harry Enfield as Wayne and Waynetta Slob. They're watching telly in bed and he asks if the pizza is done yet so she lifts up the covers for a poke and replies, "couple more minutes". I've been searching it up for years but still no luck. It is the ultimate comedy perfection!!
Just wonderful! And I’m almost sad that Linda isn’t for real, but just a cleaver portrayal by Kathy! Gimme gimme gimme, is simply hilarious! I’d loved to have been on set when this was being filmed . I bet they were creased up with laughter most of the time! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hahaha...possibly.Watching this back,again it struck me,when she says "I couldn't give a shit about any of you",that that's just it,she couldn't...which is likely WHY she doesn't win awards.She's certainly no sychophant & the luvies won't tolerate rebels,lol.
I don't understand why people don't like Gimme gimme gimme it's hilarious I watch it when ever I can my kids are into it ....Cathy and James are a match made in heaven I wish they'd make more ... brilliant speach
I met her once and I said something self-depreciating about myself and she said "Don't put yourself down, there's always someone waiting to do that to a working class girl." and I thought how right she was....and I stopped doing it then.
How did you meet her?! I’d love to
@@dhanga I was working in a theatre where she was performing. She was so down to earth that she used to choose to come out for a pint after work with the staff rather than other famous people lol.
I met her at Euston. She asked me for a light and then she chatted for a minute then fucked off with my lighter.
Not even mad.
Thanks for sharing your meet with her, I'm going to bare what she said to you in mind x
She’s one in a million xx
And THAT ladies and gentlemen is what we all miss…,honest and REAL people.
Well said, yes WE DO.
And now people hate on her for being the same righteous woman she always been
Kathy is an ABSOLUTE ICON. And I still watch Gimme Gimme Gimme to THIS day. It's HYSTERICAL.
One of the best London accents ever - boorish and unpretentious yet articulate. Always loved Kathy.
Love that old Nielsen in the background had his breath taken away in a delighted way especially at the gay press comment 😆
Spot on mate!
The absolute best acceptance speech I’ve ever heard. Never any false pretences where Kathy is concerned - an absolute legend.
Kathy Burke and now the late Paul O'Grady such genuine ppl
IT'S ABOUT FACKIN TIME Kathy was back on our screens! Legend.
Kathy is hillarious, love her. Absolutely nothing pretentious about her, she doesn't give two figs about what people think either😊
are you an adult or not? say it, two fucks, there, not hard.
Yep. Don't see her on our screens anywhere near enough!
@@TW7S95 why fucking not? Lol
This woman is a national treasure
Figs? 🤔😂🤣
Un-afraid to be who she is. Not many of us can do that!
I love gimme gimme gimme. Best comedy ever. Cathy is the best comedy actress we’ve ever had in my opinion. The show is crude but so so funny. I watch it over and over again. So deserved the award.
*Kathy
Top class. Kathy Burke is one very funny lady and a damn good actress.
+Jason Dunlop Also a very intelligent women. Leading the line up at the first ever event of the opening of the new Barn at Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum.
why would you put a B on the end of damn
She's amazing, love her !!
I love her think she fab an fantastic actress ❤
How an acceptable speech should be. Honest and refreshing!
"Couldn't give a s**t about any of ya!"
why the asterix? just heard kathy burke say shit and fuck but you still feel the need to censor the word, seriously.
@@keef78 ...bless you. Asterisks, not asterix (the French comic series). But, yeah, if Kathy says the words full-on, then let's do the same.
i thought she said she liked martin freeman , so she said it for comic effect i guess, she didn't mean it, so how 'honest' that is , i don't know. perhaps i'm overthinking this.
@@keef78 haha! This has really made me laugh!

Really enjoying her C4 series on MONEY at the moment too.
Shes amazing.....its true talent when you can pull off comedy acting and straight acting.....her peformance in Elizabeth was inspired
Eleven years on and watching this. Burke takes no prisoners. Her performance in Nil By Mouth was truly exceptional.
She got such a slagging for doing GGG after all the praise for Nil by Mouth
@@quintupleaxel ...Yeah, well, fuck 'em, as Burke might well say.
Oh I totally agree x
GGG was hilarious and still holds up today with people wanting more. So who was right and who was wrong. God bless James Dreyfus the woke scum are really giving him a hard time lately.
This is from 2002 20 years ago.
Best speech ever given. How underrated is this woman!! She's just as good as judy and Julie and Maggie and all the rest!! She's incredible!!! What a woman!! She deserves all the best
Good point
Ray Winston said that she was the best actress hes ever worked with and hes worked with some greats. Watch nil by mouth and you'll see.
Gandalf the goat agreed. A brilliant film and brilliant performances from Ray and Kathy
Very true. She's a genius actress and deserves so much more than she's had she's incredible and her honesty is beyond refreshing
Gary Oldman should direct more films too - everyone was outstanding in that.
Gimme Gimme Gimme was good because of the two lead performances. Otherwise it would have been unwatchable.
Nil by mouth is a great film Kathy Burke is a great actress a comedy genius
'Gimme Gimme Gimme' is one of the best comedies that we ever had and it always cheers me up. I honestly didn't know it was so badly recieved at the time. I saw it when it first aired and I instantly never forgot how it took risks and made me wish they did more of them.

It's my go to show
Quite simply, the best ever acceptance speech I've ever heard!! :o)
I NEED her to get an Oscar, Because she's brilliant but more so because of the potential speech.........come on Cathy!!!
Try Spike Milligan TV awards or something! Equal I'd say.
@@sarahdixon6011 Ricky Gervais hosting Cathy Burke winning - an Oscar ceremony to top the lot.
Leslie Nielson might not have known who she was - but he won't forget her!
Watch Jack Nicholson’s BAFTA for cuckoo’s nest :)
Kathy Burke is LOVELY!!!! Need more people like her. I miss seeing her on the television.
Kathy is genuine, warm, friendly and hilarious, truly one of a kind.
Best part was Leslie Nielsen being initially shocked by Kathy's forthright manner and then thinking "Ooh, I quite like this!". I can imaging working with Kathy would be great fun but bad for your health.

Her portrayal in Nil by Mouth was truly superb!
I LO❤E IT when she says... "it's about fucking time an' all innit"?.... 😄😅😄 HA HA HA!!!
