I haven't seen any TV interviews with her before this.

I hadn't heard she'd been difficult- though that's not surprising- so I wasn't in the mood to see her nationally scolded.

I agree that up until the correction that it was terrific talk show TV.

I'm happy to listen to Jackson "run on" about her twenty-three years of service in Parliament because I always felt she was a sincere and passionate person who gave up a much more lucrative career to make her country a better place. (I was always amazed at the riding she represented- Hampstead- since it struck me as being the last place that needed a Labour firebrand, but I guess there are corners of even the nicest neighbourhoods that are falling apart.)

She was a good sport about it but it could have really cacked if she hadn't been.

[I haven't seen it yet, but I am wondering what the relationship is between the four dames featured in the documentary NOTHING LIKE A DAME- Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright- and their fellow acting dames Glenda Jackson and Vanessa Redgrave (who isn't a dame but reportedly decided the honour in 1999, although she is CBE.) I would think that politically and temperamentally those two old socialists might irritate the others. (Atkins always seems somewhere in the middle.)]
