Joyce grenfell wrote her own songs and monologues. And peter Ustinov was a genius raconteurs. Pam is a complete original joy. Bless her for bringing us such gems.
Dear Pam, what an absolute inspiration you are. I was 14 when you appeared on Opportunity Knocks. You gave me so much by doing that. I'd written poems for a few years by then; a fact I kept to myself. You inspired me to continue...and made me realise I was was not 'abnormal'. It did take another decade or so to get up the courage to share my writing... But only amongst friends and family. Only now, am I finding the confidence to broaden my horizons again with my writing... Listening to you here has sparked the inspiration you first ignited 48 yrs ago. I realise too, why you resonated with me on such a deeper level. This is the first time I've heard you speak of your true experience after the show. I had guessed your journey had involved determination, self belief and a refusal to sell your soul. I admire you even more for the courage that took. It's underestimated today just how many barriers us women of a certain age had to break down. I applaud you for being such a warm, talented, enduring trailblazer and congratulations on such a long, successful, unique career being 💯% authentic 👋👐💞🤗
It has been so good for me to hear Pam Aires talking with her humour. I live in Germany now for many many years, so it's good to be able hear her stories with her accent, and with her humour.
I remember hearing Pam on telly when I was a child and loved the accent and thought she was wonderfully funny. This was a real treat to watch. What a fabulous woman ❤
I was brought up in Berkshire like Pam and although a tad younger, her experiences were close to my own. I didn't pass the 11 Plus either and had to just get a normal working job. Wow, so...this brought back so many memories for me. I love this woman! :) The need to laugh since 2020 is so important!!!!!!
