My very first exposure to Dame Patricia’s work was Keeping Up Appearances. Never having seen anything else she’s done prior to KUA, I would have made it bigger than it was. Then gradually, as I’ve watched both her earlier and subsequent works, I’m much more able to put her Hyacinth character into proper perspective, as I now see Hyacinth as a very small part of the huge patchwork quilt that is Routledge’s career. Alan Bennett once defined his brilliant writing style as “somewhat banal.” His ability to find people to write for who he knows will bring his writing to life with such vibrancy is extraordinary. Nobody writes like Bennett, and nobody does monologues like Routledge. The two pair brilliantly together.
She has an amazing singing voice.
Absolutely beautiful, the pathos and feeling that she brings to this is never to be lost or forgotten. Thank you dame Patricia .
Perfection! Expect no less from author nor actress! Love them both! Tysm for these Rick. Blessings fr Nashville, TN
Patricia Routledge in “A Lady of Letters” is very entertaining. She is great! Thanks for sharing.
“I haven’t been Irene since mother died”. They think they’re being nice, but it’s a nice way of being nasty.” Priceless.
I’m in awe. What an actress!
This is just beyond words, it’s such a beautiful performance and an exceptional script.
I love this. whenever Im feeling down I keep coming back to Patricia Routledge. something so comforting about her.
The first time i met her was as Hyacinth Bucket, oops, Bouquet! And finally was able to see all 5 years in 2021 on Britbox and again on YouTube. She made me laugh. I loved her! I loved Hyacinth and she had these marvelous facial quirks with her mouth and her eyes that said exactly how she felt. I’m so happy to be able to watch her and the whole crew whenever I please. So grateful that this funny and amazing lady is still available to us!
Enthralling… what an interesting character study
In today’s terms, her character during the first part of the film would be called a “Karen”, but she redeems herself in the end, thus shedding the similarities. One of my favorites in this Talking Head series, A Woman of No Importance is equally brilliant.
Like anything she touches, pure gold.
She is a force of nature! Such an amazing actress!
Seeing her sparkle in prison is priceless!
Dame Patricia must be protected at all costs!
Lol…she is such a good actress!
Brilliant acting, brilliant writing …
Brilliant actress
No one could possibly do it better than she does. The more videos I see of her the more in awe I am of her acting. Hope she realizes how many people simply love her.
Such a shame that it took PRISON to get her to grow, learn new skills, and make healthy human connections with other people!
What can be said? A wonder! Thank you
BRILLIANT!
Bennett and Routledge – what a combo!
I’m glad she’s happy, even though she’s in prison…
23:39 Her face says that she knows she’ll be in serious trouble if she tries it again but she just can’t help herself.
Great to watch and excellently done, however, I guess that I missed the part of the story that would justify this lady going to jail… if that is what that is….
I currently work with a Canadian man who is like this woman. He constantly sends emails criticizing, harping, and tittle-tattling on others. They are also stuffed full of his liberal biased politics because he just consumes CNN news all day.
So sad but beautiful!
Thanks
How can you get arrested for writing letters? I’m American so I don’t understand it. I’m sure I will soon though
