I haven't seen this show since it originally aired. I'd completely forgotten about Lumley as Purdey and how funny it was. Seeing this classic sketch again has brightened my day
Ah. Shame the ending was lost but really grateful you posted this. Thank you. Never seen this before. This was funny seeing Ms Lumley not being her humble self in such a fashion.
@abrazamemoscow - As I've said in the video details, I was very surprised to find that I'd lost the end of this episode, I'm hoping I've got another version somewhere else, and I'll upload when I find it ;-)
@germanamericanable - Glad you enjoyed it - Ruby goes back much further, I think you'll really like this, it's not a great picture but you can see it, search for 'Girls On Top Series' and go for series 1 ep 1 first. The earliest I ever saw her was on an episode of 'The Professionals' which was probably 1979/80 ;-)
will someone pls post the episode with joanna making 'eggs florentine' it was on here a while back but i can't find it?? anyone have the 'Eggs' ep? pls??
What a treat seeing Lumley looking like absolute shit. (14:29) Amazing comedy chops; how does she do it? No one else can make a formal ball gown and tiara seem funny.
loved this show, ruby was fearless, and joanna going along with it brilliantly. even the jamie lee curtis interview was fun, ruby always trying to get a scoop. kind of turned on her a bit.
+Thomas Farmer this is from 94... the cooking segment clip on youtube is from 93... the first break in clip is from 91 and the second break in clip is from 92 - hope this helps ;)
I absolutely love the appearances Joanna did on this show she’s just so perfect.
Ruby is pretty underrated she’s hilarious and she’s such a great writer
There's NOTHING like British humor, especially with someone as fearless and talented as Joanna Lumley!
And yet written by an American, ruby wax
This reinvented her as a comedy actress
@@zeddeka Americans who get the British humor tend to over do it. Sometimes brutally successful
The talent levels in this episode are scary. Ruby, Joanna and Jamie Lee Curtis

Ruby Wax always said Joanna Lumley was incredible.
To find someone so beautiful and be so funny is extremely rare!
The birth of Patsy how fabulous..! Thanks Ruby
Joanna is amazing...a natural comedic actress, she is funnier than most comics i have seen

chillmax thankyou for making the internet prosper with your VHS recording skills!
Splendid! As always! ;)
The Jamie Lee Curtis bit is hilarious!
"That's how you chose your husband- like a lobster in a restaurant..."
I love that Jamie Lee did this shows she has a sense of humour I’ve always loved her

Joanna Lumley was hilarious in this as is Jamie Lee Curtis. There should be a one off special where we find out how Joanna's doing now.
'Looking at THE Joanna Lumley'
Impeccable taste in clips.
@rokk1 - I have got that episode somewhere (or did have) as soon as I come across it, and have time to upload, it will be here ;-)

If I were cast away on a desert island the one thing I would hope for would be Joanna.
@UtterlyHeleno - Didn't get an email about this post, so only just seeing this today! That's fine, I'm glad it's available somewhere else ;-)
Aw, I really hope you find the rest of this, Joanna is truly hilarious here!
Do you know the year? 1993?
will someone pls post the episode with joanna making 'eggs florentine' it was on here a while back but i can't find it?? anyone have the 'Eggs' ep? pls??
Joanna came to Pretoria South Africa to promote Purdy in the 70s she is so beautiful and classy!! 😇🙏🎉🎊💕❤️💖
she is a genius!
Jamie Lee is a good sport. You'd not get many who'd go along with this sort of stuff.
Princess Peach XD
oh my, how criminal those legs were covered by that gone with the wind dress.
@chillmax thank you!
When was this filmed? It's hillarious :)
What a treat seeing Lumley looking like absolute shit. (14:29) Amazing comedy chops; how does she do it? No one else can make a formal ball gown and tiara seem funny.
Love it......
@germanamericanable - Look for 'The Girls On Top' episodes from 'Zombiefacedgirl' as they're better quality ;-)

Ruby is magnificent.
your English is perfect! :)
Beth Dewoody!!
"Jamie Lee Curtis".... I mean what TV SHOWS has SHE done? Hahahaa.
ruby wax was on FOX in the mid to late 80's
ruby is soooo funny and joanna is awesome and gorgeous
Haha love joanna
Which year is this from? I am guessing 1992?
Are you gay just asking don't feel ashamed
+Thomas Farmer True Lies came out in 1994, and with Jamie Lee holding the True Lies poster and with that hair cut, probably 93 or 94.
***** Except that it has Jamie Lee Curtis PRing for True Lies, so the earliest it could be would have to be 1993 when True Lies was filmed.
+Thomas Farmer this is from 94... the cooking segment clip on youtube is from 93... the first break in clip is from 91 and the second break in clip is from 92 - hope this helps ;)
this is so so funny
wow Jamie lee Curtis was stunning so beautiful and amazing legs!! love her
is there a second part?
