Patricia Routledge DEAD

[Agneeta]

People listening to Taylor Swift's DISGUSTING NEW ALBUM, while Patricia Routledge was breathing her last breath.

Have they NO SHAME?

 

[lolly]

Is that all of them?

A generation of gays (and younger ones who appreciate their history) devastated

 

[Rita]

I remember The BBC trying to do some programme about a young Hyacinth a few years back and it was AWFUL.

 

[Kala]

Just remember - one featured a middle aged homosexual playing someone with a put-upon spouse and who was hated by their neighbours and the other… oh shit, wait…

Wait, I had no idea either Patricia Routledge nor Richard Wilson were gay!

Pat and Betty Boothroyd were quite the FETCHING COUPLE.

Why is T*yl*r SW*ft being mentioned in a Patricia Routledge (RIP ICON) thread? The IGNOMINY.

I'm surprised you're a Routledge fan. I figured you'd find her...well, frumpy.

 

[big ron]

Not to get all Facebook Da about it, but they really don't make them like this any more.

 

[Halli]

what an Icon. Keeping up Appearance is one of my all time faves. 96 though, what a life.

Interestingly, she's almost exactly the same age in those Kitty clips I posted above that Kylie is now...

 

[lolly]

Any chance of a posthumous re-release of Moves Like Gordon Honeycombe or Sex In A Soho Cubicle do you think, @Sheena?

 

[PercyPig]

I recall a YouTube comment on one Appearances clip where she was scaling walls and such like where the commenter had said “for someone of her age she really gave it her all physically” but I imagine she wasn’t that “old” at the time?

She was 61 when the series started so not ancient I wouldn’t say?

 

[Ellie]

Suppose it’s another case of the difference in how generations aged. Sandra Bullock is 61 now

 

[lolly]

Fun fact: she was the same age Zendaya is now when she filmed Hetty Wainthropp Investigates

 

[lolly]

 

[Agneeta]

Sorry but R PATTY looked great for her age.

Let's not REWRITE HISTORY.

 

[lolly]

Apparently she wrote this just before her 95th birthday

Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.
Let these years be your treasure years.
You don’t need fame. You don’t need perfection.
You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.
With love and gentleness,
— Patricia Routledge

What a woman. RIP.

 

[big ron]

Being 60 in your 90s is a different game to being 60 now.

I was looking at some photos of my Dad at my age in the mid 90s, he looked fucked!

[lolly]

Aww.

A Lady of Letters still remains on of the best things ever.

 

[Agneeta]

Patricia souring up the Moopy death charts. Quite right.

 

[ButterTart]

Jesus, those last few seconds.

 

[Agneeta]

The BBC have dumped her death out the main headlines on the app already. But don't worry there's two super important TAYLOR SWIFT STORIES.

 

[ButterTart]

Even Pat couldn’t withstand another Taylor Swift album

 

[Cloud]

Yeah she definitely didn't look 60s for what the 60s looked like in the 90s. Maybe for what the 60s look like now but it was different back then for most people. I always had her down as 40ish

Can we start a new C*NT of the Week thread and dump both BBC News and Sw*ft into it. Please and thank you.

No need for a vote, CONFIRMED.

 

[GNL]

RIP Patricia. You would have loved 'CANCELLED!'

I don’t blame Swift. She just seems like a mediocre talent who likes cats. BBC News this morning however just need to SHUT UP. They were talking about a prolific artist’s new release like Elvis had risen from the dead or something.

 

[Agneeta]

I hope Patricia haunts Swift for the rest of her life.

 

[Agneeta]

Hope Charli XCX releases a Patricia tribute track.

RIP KITTY

 

[funky]

I always love this slice of camp farce.


oh RICHARD! Just look at your JERSEY!

 

[jyxz]

Riparian entertainment!

We saw Dame Pat a few years back in one of those Q&A shows in the Stockport Plaza

 

[lolly]

Channel 5 have rescheduled to show 'Keeping Up Appearances: Goodbye Hyacinth' tonight at 7.30pm

 

[Tisch]

Comedy genius with acting chops right up there with the bets. Will go down as a legend. There's good reason Keeping Up Appearances was so well liked not just in Britain but worldwide
