Think she has made the right decision to retire. Great actress though, will be missed.
Liz Smith
I always thought she was really old right from the first thing I saw her in which was I Didn't Know You Cared.
Great comedy actress.
My mum always says same about Peter Vaughan(Harry Grout,and IMO, the best of Shirley's dads in Citizen Smith) . Incidentally think he was something with Liz Smith recently they played a couple who grew cannabis, if mem. serves

Mem appears to be going a bit there Ode Pal ! 
She seems to have been playing old ladies for years, bless her.
She was very good as 'Mother' in A Private Function.

Realised I made a typo and correted it, didn't realise I'd made a duplicate
Liz didn't start acting until she was over 50.
Not too late for Keanu Reeves then.

He's always got Dogstar to fall back on.

On the plus side it means she got out of having to be interviewed by Johnathon Toss.
That alone could have killed her.
She will be missed.

I'm pretty sure she would have considered being interviewed by Jonathan Ross (thats how you spell it) a priviledge. After all, he is by far the best interviewer around in this country.

No.
He's a twat.
And he hasn't exactly got a lot of competition.
Or did you leave off the 'irony' emoticon?

No my post was 100% serious. Just because he doesn't have competition doesn't mean he isn't any good. Why would the BBC pay him so highly. He's certainly not to everyone's taste I'll admit that, but I think he's great. He certainly isn't a twat.

He's paid well because he's popular.
Just not with me.
Each to his own and all that.
I just think he's a bit 'lowest common denominator', that's all.
No hard feelings.
