The Real Marigold Hotel

[Gemini]

Is anyone watching the latest series of this, on BBC1?

The celebrities are The Krankies, Selena Scott, Pete someone (was Pete Beale in Eastenders) Boris Johnson's son.... and a few others I can't remember now!

Yes Gemini I am watching it, love the sight of India. Stephanie Beachamp is in it and it is Boris's father. Didn't know who the Pete someone was. Oh and Susan George and Syd Little

I've been watching this . For some reason I have taken a dislike to Peter Dean ( Pete from EastEnders ) . He just seems to be there to find another bride !

[Plantaholic]

I am not too keen on Peter Dean either.

I caught the end of it last night and the only 'celebs' I recognised were Boris senior and The Krankies. Recognised a few faces but couldn't put names to them.

Sorry Plant, yes father not son!

I've never watched it, but good to hear you are enjoying it.

[Qwerty]

I watch it and enjoy it not sure I would like to retire to India , I am no fan of Pete a bit of a womaniser and nothing much to look at lol, Stephanie Beecham I’m sure has had a couple of face jobs, and Susan George I did envy her in her younger days as she lived with the singer Jack Jones who I adored saw him at Batley theatre club and she was all over him gggrrr but now I look at her and she hadn’t aged well me a b***h nah , I think the Krankies are still very much in love with each other after all those years in showbiz

I watched it, find it quite entertaining.

[Gemini]

I thought Susan George looked quite good Qwerty!

I would hate to live in India, the culture is just far too differnt to here.

[Oma]

Never watched it , may peek in on catch up

[Mimi]

Qwerty OH used to like Susan George . When he saw her on it he said “She has aged “. And of course he hasn’t Men!!!

I haven't watched it, but I find it hard to connect people like Susan George with her as a young woman and now. They often seem like quite different people. If they've been on our screens constantly then it's easier because you've seen them age gradually.

Mimi - my OH always says that about Felicity Kendall. As you say, Men!!!!!

We’ve watched all the different series! Interesting to see how different characters react to being taken right out of their comfort zone. Some must be desperate for publicity/money as they can’t bear the heat and only eat meat and two veg at home!

I wouldn’t fare very well with the heat, the noise and the crowds! Enjoy an occasional curry but wouldn’t want it for breakfast and every meal thereafter.

I would probably be on the first plane back!
