Miriam should have her own interview show, everyone would be honest and open up to her.

I don't like the foul language she uses sometimes but I have read her first two books and I'm half way through the third and she comes across as such a lovely caring person. To have Miriam as a friend would be an honour. She's lived such a full life, not always easy but she never gives up.

Is all Irish daytime TV is as easygoing, mirthful, cheeky, and insightful as this? I may be living in the wrong country. Also, Miriam is an international treasure and a delight.

Maggie Smith and Miriam have Glasgow,in common.They had parents who were born there and Glaswegians are known throughout the world for a special type of humour on the dark side sometimes.

Miriam is a blessing to the world. She walks and goes where others would not, and listens where and when others will not. Courage, conviction, faith, truth, integrity and humour.

This was one of the most insightful, intelligent and beautiful morning show interviews I have ever seen. An absolute joy. Subscribed from the land down under.
