Those of us remember Pam first came on tv and win the contest again...and became instant star..Some 60bysars later I was talking to some budding poets and suggested they looked up Pam ,now that Google etc avail.. And every one loved her style, words and everything about her Thank you Pam you made a 85 year old happy...just listening. ❤
I don’t think it was quite 60 years ago but it was certainly getting on towards it! I can’t be sure without looking it up but I’d guess that I was about 6-7 perhaps at the time she was on Opportunity Knocks. I distinctly recall my Dad asking Mum if it was the girl from his office. It was and he came home from work a couple of nights later with a copy of her first (self published) book with an inscription inside for my brother and I.
Look how full that beautiful theatre is - all those people coming to listen to a softly spoken, down to earth lady speak her poems. I hope she knows how beloved she is.
Oct 20, 2019. I a 78 years old. This is the first time I ever heard of Pam Ayers. A perfect example that no matter how old you are, there is something to learn. She could be on anyone's show, stand up anywhere.
miller forester. AND, without the foul disgusting language they all use, to their shame it’s the women also. Pam Ayers is lovely. Might be inuendo, but it’s the lovely Morecambe and Wise sort.
Have followed and loved Pam Ayres since I was a young teen. Brilliant talent, unique, there will never be another like her sadly. I’ve enjoyed reading her poems and stories to others and laughing our heads off because they’re so funny and so true.
She really is pure gold; purely herself, rhythm rhyme perfect not a syllable too much or too little and always word perfect while never stagey. God bless her.
Those of you who have heard the lady before will enjoy the repeat. Those who have never before, will be surprised and pleased, at such brilliant skill.
We in New Zealand Loved our primary teacher reading her child appropriate poems to us in to 80s. Esp " i wish I looked after my teeth" ... First relevant and fun poems we'd ever heard. 😊
Pam is brilliant! These are poems for everyone. They will not win any prizes given by those folks at the top, they are made to make us laugh a lot and never never stop. I wish I could write one, with all her wit an flair, but I know that I just can't so wont be going there.
Apart from William Shakespeare, Pam Ayres was the furst poet I knew and she was the definately the first I enjoyed. What a great talent she has. In a quiet way I think she is a national treasure. :)
Not only will women resonate with that. I used to work with a team leader who I swear is the exact type of individual Pam describes. Could never shut him up. You could be in a conversation with someone and he would just walk in and take it over. A real obnoxious little twit.
I can remember Pam as winning opportunity knocks on the Telly and then years later me and my husband went to see her shows in Skegness then in Canterbury Marlow Theater and Margate Winter gardens, I’ve also got quite a few of her poetry, books and CDs, which are great for listening in the car. 😊
That is exactly what I think………if she were, we would all look forward to each important event in the country being celebrated by a brilliant poet. PA doesn’t only write great, amusing, poems. Years ago I heard her reading a poem about how she felt when her son left home….to go to University, I think it was. It was so moving, and so true.
Pam Ayres never really got the exposure she deserved even though she's still a household name. So very underated in the truest sense of the word. A brilliantly comedic wit.
Pam Ayres, you are absolutely the Icing on the Cake. It's not easy making me laugh these days as I've got a bit old and grumpy, but I laughed and laughed at your poem and I bet my kids would say, "That sounds just like Dad," If they heard it.
So refreshing to hear humour and witty wordplay without a barrage of.. ah.. "modern language" besmirching the process. Pam Ayers is truly a national treasure. I have been for a dental appointment today & recommended to the health care professionals Pam's poem "I wish I'd looked after me teeth". It certainly rings true!
Absolutely love Pam Ayres. Her over pronounced diction is just perfect. I would've love to have seen a collaboration with the late great Victoria Wood. Now that would have been something really special ❤
Good Old Pam. I first saw her on the TV while I was still in the army at Bulford in Wiltshire in 1975/76. I thought she was brilliant then and still do
This brings back so many childhood memories, laughing with my father. She is pure genius and her creations are hilarious. Good old fashioned humour wrapped in a poem. Love you Pam. A family favourite. 🇦🇺 I don’t like the Ashes line though 😂
@@elaineprescott3972 I agree with you jane , all they feed us now are obnoxious unfunny morons who cannot deliver a line without several expletives , yet just listen to how hilarious pam is , yet the tv bosses are not interested
tom jones. But they were! I’ve seen her live shows around the country and watched every one of her dozens of tv shows! Do you mean you never saw her? She was awarded the MBE in 2004 for ‘services to comedy’. Her shows were 2 hours long on radio. She was active and such a hit in the 1990s/2000s and was still doing these shows in 2017/18. Excellent good clean fun. A lovely lady, .
That line ‘I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong/ Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong’ is pure gold!
😂
Sheer genius 😂
She was always able to put everyday experiences and feelings into poetry- what a talent!

miller forester ,How True. 👍🤣🤣
miller forester. She has! On TV many many times. Travels the country giving shows just like this. I’ve seen her twice. Brilliant isn’t she.
Just found this, she is spot on👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hope you enjoyed Pam Ayres, she is a wee national treasure. She done a lot of TV in the 60s and 70s

No thanks
I don’t know how often I’ve watched this and I laugh until I cry each time.
Her talent and diction's like a breath of fresh air!!! LOVE her act!!!
Her diction is music to my ears. No “wanna” instead of “want do”, no “twenny” instead of “twenty” etc. etc.
😊
She really is pure gold; purely herself, rhythm rhyme perfect not a syllable too much or too little and always word perfect while never stagey. God bless her.
I just discovered her (I'm French).
And I can't get enough of her wit and warmth! 😊
The way she delivers the sentence "The mafia, Ghadaffia and Yasser Arafat "... simply genius.

I love her poetry, right to the point and so funny. Pam Ayers is a national treasure. 😃
Pure gold and unadulterated entertainment ❤ Dame Pam I say!!
I first heard of her in the early 70s and bought some of her poetry. She's fantastic so I'm glad she's made a career of her talent!
I bought some more of me poetry 😂
@katiekitchen895 I'm not from Oxfordshire...
Those of you who have heard the lady before will enjoy the repeat. Those who have never before, will be surprised and pleased, at such brilliant skill.
Great fun and Pam never disapoints. Love her cheeky grin when she comes to the punch line.
This has cheered me up immensely on a sad day

A history lesson of the time ..... its a tribute to her poetic skills that they are remembered as Pam Ayres is herself ....
She still tours i saw her show last year in Oxford.
Brilliant!!! There will be many a wife/partner out there shouting "that's just him!!!" A comedic pleasure to hear. Well done Pam!!!

I love her,she make smile and that hard in this day and time
What a wonderfully talented poet,
Pam Ayers ...What an Absolute treasure.😅😅❤
What a talent, there’s only one Pam, the world would be a lesser place without this genius 💋💋💋should be a dame
agree totally
Genius ……….. are you serious . She’s popular with people who don’t read or travel.
Simpleton.
I have a feeling there are Millions of women that this will resonate with. Bless'em all!
Not only will women resonate with that. I used to work with a team leader who I swear is the exact type of individual Pam describes. Could never shut him up. You could be in a conversation with someone and he would just walk in and take it over. A real obnoxious little twit.
Never gets old.......watching this on the last day of 2019.
Josie Thornton into the early hours of 2020 and I’m the same!!...she’s absolutely marvellous
Josie Thornton want to chat watch this
@@phildono1 Feb 2021!
Utterly unique brilliance. Love this wonderful lady
What an absolute joy, Pam is! Would love to see her on television; her own show would be a tonic for us all!!!
check her out in the series on the Cotswolds - she doesnt recite any poetry though sadly but its still great to watch
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Wonderful. Pam Ayres' words and rhymes are spot on. And I love the accent too.
As a husband I ca only applaud PamAyes Perspicacity and wisdom
Such an awesome, understated talent. We love you, Pam!
I have listened to this many times, over and over again, and it makes me laugh every time brilliant....
Hello 👋 how are you doing?

Thanks for that Pam my late mum loved your poetry and wit shed be 102 this May😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
I love her poems; have most of her books and been lucky enough to have seen her live more than once. Thank you Pam.
Pam, and this video in particular, should be included on the NHS's prescribed list of remedies ! What a fabulously talented person she is !
Not until your abdominal surgery has fully healed! 😆
I would Definitely pay ... to sit in an auditorium for an evening... This was fantastic!
That poem just made me fall about laughing the best tonic anyone could have well done Pam 😂😂❤
Pam is a joy and a treasure! Love her!
Pam Ayres never really got the exposure she deserved even though she's still a household name. So very underated in the truest sense of the word. A brilliantly comedic wit.
What a treasure Pam is!! If only we could bottle her humour: what a tonic that would be!!!!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
2020...with the Corona Virus making us depressed.....its so lovely to be cheered up by Pam Ayres, thankyou ! x
loved her as as child. love her more as an adult .great voice and great timing.
Always loved Pam Ayres. Think she brilliant.
Pam Ayres, you are absolutely the Icing on the Cake. It's not easy making me laugh these days as I've got a bit old and grumpy, but I laughed and laughed at your poem and I bet my kids would say, "That sounds just like Dad," If they heard it.

I remember Pam and it's lovely to hear her poems again.
The absolutely brilliant Pam Ayres
Pam Ayres, what a national treasure she is!
Love this lady's poetry.... always makes me smile....
This is homespun wisdom. I am also from her neck of the woods. Love it.
I also remember loving her as a child (in the 1970's). Such a lovely lady and a national treasure.
You Brits can be so delightful. Love from Missouri USA. 🌹

I have been for a dental appointment today & recommended to the health care professionals Pam's poem "I wish I'd looked after me teeth". It certainly rings true!
Excellent! I've been called Pam Ayres the second by friends, but I am not as good as she is! Absolutely Fabulous!
I loved her on radio 2 on Sundays, I miss her loads, top woman, and her Husband sounds like me.
She mentioned every husband in the world!!! Very nice,enjoyed every sentence lol
I have happy memories of when Pam first appeared on telly. Memories of my dearest, gentle, much missed mother laughing.
This might be 13 years ago. But the problems named are still very accurate. Love this. Thanks.
What’s clever is that since this performance, she’s updated some verses with more recent events. I’ve heard another couple of new versions.
I used to love watching her on TV decades ago. She's still delightful.
She's such a gem 😊
Love this. Ayres is a legend.
Absolutely love Pam Ayres. Her over pronounced diction is just perfect. I would've love to have seen a collaboration with the late great Victoria Wood. Now that would have been something really special ❤
Absolutely fffk,in brilliant. Now that's what you call FUNNY.
Very clever and funny lady. Great talent. Pete Hutley, Newcastle,Australia
Wind him up and let him go! Fabulous! Thank you Pam!
Good Old Pam. I first saw her on the TV while I was still in the army at Bulford in Wiltshire in 1975/76. I thought she was brilliant then and still do
She is still a gem. Wonderful
Such a gentle powerhouse.
Bless her.

Would be nice to see this type of humor back on TV Clean and funny... Come back Pam
Jane Winkles I definitely agree with you! ☺
@@elaineprescott3972 I agree with you jane , all they feed us now are obnoxious unfunny morons who cannot deliver a line without several expletives , yet just listen to how hilarious pam is , yet the tv bosses are not interested
Jane Winkles I’m with you
Jane Winkles. Exactly! Get rid of all these filthy worded, filthy minded so called comedians. Including, to her shame, Sarah Millican.
tom jones. But they were! I’ve seen her live shows around the country and watched every one of her dozens of tv shows! Do you mean you never saw her? She was awarded the MBE in 2004 for ‘services to comedy’. Her shows were 2 hours long on radio. She was active and such a hit in the 1990s/2000s and was still doing these shows in 2017/18.

This has lightened up my world & made me genuinely smile and laugh. Beautiful & witty. Xx
