- At the height of Europe’s spring Covid wave in 2021, the filmmaker Lucy Darwin offered to drive the actor and national treasure Miriam Margolyes from her home in Italy to London so that she could film the latest series of Call The Midwife.

'We're 80 years old, F**k off' had me in stitches 😂
same! classic Margolyes !!!
Best line ever!
Same!!! I hope I’m this feisty when I’m 80! 🤣🤣
For goodness sake, give this delightful woman her own series 😘 she is such a gem!
She had one where she travelled across the US - I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.
@@boskee where can I watch it?
And Australia!
I don't think Miriam realises how much she is treasured x
Thankful I found this video
Miriam needs to be a dame! Xx
Miriam is a delight.. she makes me laugh so much ... she has no filter and it makes her so refreshing to watch. What a lady
Exactly why I love her so much! She says what she feels, even if it's terribly unpopular. THAT is honesty! (I agree with most of what she says mind you!)
Not when she’s using such horrible language she’s not.
@@unlokia I have to disagree. Her lack of filter is refreshing, in an age of social media, where you have no idea what or whom you are interacting with. At least you know exactly what Miriam's intentions are. I'm sure that Miriam would agree with me on this: if you don't like how she comes across, then the solution is not to watch or listen to her. There are many, many people who find her a joy, including myself. I cannot abide people who hide behind a facade.
I wouldn't want to be in the same room with anyone who didn't love Mirrium.
Love watching Miriam margolyes she cheers me up on bad days. She is just fabulous 🇬🇧
I love how every clip with Miriam has a warning of strong language beforehand 😂😂😂

"We HATE Brexit! Let me just tell you that." Brilliant! 👏
How utterly sublime, she is a national treasure. I don't know how this film came into being but I am so grateful that it did.
Thank you, this little film was a joy to make and we just decided it would be fun to film it. So glad you enjoyed it
@@lucydarwin7922 I loved it! How I would love to share a bottle of gin with her. Thanks again.
@@lucydarwin7922 thank you so much for this! There can never be enough of Miriam in my opinion.
@@hayleygolding4187 thank YOU please share it widely :-)
@@lucydarwin7922 I have been madly sharing in my Facebook messenger, as no-one should miss this. It's so warm and real. I sooooooo identify with Miriam's fear of the dreaded 'rona! I too am disabled with underlying health conditions, and I choose to stay right at home. Thank GAWD for the internet! 😄
I need to buy a lotto ticket. Stumbling upon this video, really made my day. Having only discovered Miriam, through old TH-cam videos of The Graham Norton Show, I can't get enough of her, she brings me so much joy.
Check out Miriam and Alan: Lost in Scotland
@@dtaylor939 buy her book, to support.
I just love how Lucy has offered to drive the elders, and it is obvious how considerately and patiently she has cared for these ladies on this trip. Bravo to Lucy! 🙌
I LOVE how she used to shout ffs out the window at David Furnish
WH=AT=SA=PP☝️☝️....
Loved this. My mum is in her 80s and her driving is becoming erratic... always an adventure. I got nervous when Mirriam took the wheel.
I love this woman. Having a bad day and just put Miriam on to cheer yourself up. She’s a treasure ❤️
"Well, they dissed Prince Charles", "You can`t do that with living people"
**Winona crying**
🤣🤣
Miriam should have hosted SNL! Imagine...
I would watch this amazing woman every single day and never tire of her…..I’m in the middle of the US living in a tiny rural town….how I wish I could be her next door neighbor…..❤️💫❤️
Me Too!!!
Oh me too! Lucky we can at least watch her on TH-cam 🙏
Come travel, don't have to to be rich to doo it
18 yr old Floridian here and one of Ms Margolyes biggest fans!!🤗🌴❤️🌺💋
i wanna hug her.....she is divine and sassy.....
what a kind lady to drive all this way....
Saw her live the other day and I honestly couldn't love this woman anymore! An absolute gem 💎
I love ❤️ Miriam she’s one of the best British actress’s we have, she’s up there with Judy Dench, her role in age of innocence was superb. She’s so beautiful so down to earth she’s open with anything no Taboos with Miriam. Happy 80th birthday. ❤️
I love this episode with Miriam in it. She is such a gem. For some reason i have thought of her today while driving back home from work. Im so glad i could watch shows beyond her appearances in Graham Norton while im in the middle east. I aspire to be as energetic and as spunky as her when i age. Such an inspiration!
What's not to love about Miriam? She is one of my all time favorite ladies.
I only knew about Miriam for 3 days, and now she is my hero. I just love this video so much, it’s so moving.
Egwene MMM, you might want to pull up some Graham Norton Show clips here on YT with Miriam as a guest, she's an absolute hoot!
@Egwene - I actually lived in the UK for 8yrs but w/o TV and only knew about her when she - of all ppl - was Mother Superior in Call The Midwife.... - she is incredible and I often wonder now how she could keep a straight face in that role, she who loves swearing so much :)
Ha ha what a pleasant way to spend half an hour. Brilliant!
There can never be enough Miriam. 💜 Another BAFTA for Miriam.
Australia adores Miriam, she's a perfect Gem!!
Delightful from beginning to end! Thank you!
„It refreshes the soul...“ that‘s how I feel about Miriam 🤣🤣🤣

I love this,I've watched this twice,I have adored miriam since I was young.I love how Miriam wears trainers with everything,I do too,and dont even own a pair of shoes.Great job lucy.x
If I could have a drink with anyone in the world it would be this gem of a woman ,i adore her , Joe lycette and Jaime doran and Miriam .perfect
Dismal day here. Literally and figuratively BUT finding this refreshing video was a gift. Fabulous scenery! I’ve researched Miriam and have admired her life.
Wow! I ❤️❤️❤️ this woman! She is so amazing for 80! Just about to read her book. She makes me laugh so much 🤣 she has no boundaries & I love that about her. Fabulous Miriam ❤️🥰
I'm an American and so glad I have TH-cam to see this lady. Caught her on Graham Norton and could not stop laughing. Absolutely love her.
I see Margoyles and I click!She could be reading the phone book for all I care - would still watch!
Miriam you out of this world 🌍! Amazing woman !
“I’ve got a disabled passenger who needs the bathroom.” Lucy is a trip.

Amazing, so joyful. What a dame

She SHOULD be a Dame! Shoutout to her mate Prince Charles: you need to tell Mummy to honour this amazing lady, and bestow her with a Damehood, or failing that, just step aside and make her Queen of England 😄 ❤
I need a series with these ladies traveling around France and Italy
So wish I was on this trip. May she live forever. Glad she's an Aussie citizen now. Makes me proud. But still very much British
I have fallen in love with this woman, what an absolute treasure she is! 💖
Loved this. Can we please have some more :)
That was amazing! Had me laughing one minute and crying the next!
I absolutely adore Miriam. She's an effervescent delight!
Oh, I love her. Started reading her book👍 such a delightful talented woman. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
I'm in tears, what a gem you are Miriam!
It's the accent she says "Far-kin ell" in that gets me 😂 Love her ♥
The way she says Fucken 'Ell gives me life
