What a character Paterson never married. "I should have done it when I was 18," she said, "when I knew nothing of life".Summed up her great humour in life.
I miss both these ladies. Really adored them. Real "one-offs". They behaved together like two naughty overgrown (very) schoolgirls! Do wish they were still about!
There will never be one half as good to watch. So sorry Jennifer died so young but I do believed she packed more in her 71 years than most people would do in 200. Such fun.
The gentleman was so spot on when he said that Jennifer would appear to be a failure but she truly wasn't. She enjoyed her life and she did it her way. She was strong and independent and had a good time while she was here.
Clarissa lived in a small village near Musselburgh. She used to come into Stockbridge in Edinburgh to do some shopping. She used the same butcher as my Mum and she was always chatty and friendly. She had a famous but violent father which affected her childhood. She was as a result very sympathetic and understanding. My Mum liked her a lot.
She's from that era of British toffs who never seemed to have any real financial means of support but who nonetheless seemed to survive on their wit and social graces and small inheritances.
What a Amazing life she lead .... Such old customs and beliefs .... The mould was broken when they made her ..... I can’t believe it’s 21 years since she passed ... Sadly missed ..... She always made your day after you watched her so comical and Accentric
I watched these ladies from the very beginning with my mom and my sister who have now both passed away but watching them again by myself brings back wonderful memories and I can imagine them still here watching with me.
I was a teen when I discovered, Two Fat Ladies. It was a real eye-opener for a young American who’d never been abroad. I’ve been enamored with Brits and British culture ever since. I did finally have the good fortune to spend quite a lot of time in England.
Every American needs to watch all four series of their amazing show. It’s an especially wonderful escape during lockdown.
