Class Act Quotes

I love this episode of series 2, she's so fantastic at playing drunken people, haha! ''Make sure you put everything back as you found it...'' I nearly wet myself... :lmao:

After Purdey, she's my all time favourite Lumley character. :grin:

Another great line:

"That's mine! He stole my Purdey!" (Richard Vernon) :wink: Although I'm sure Gambit could relate. :lol:

"Do you know who we are?"

Oh, Kate's good, but she'll never be able to beat the fabulous Patsy. Although there are quite a few similarities between the two, I must say: both love a drink, are very flirtatious and can't live without a proper amount of money.

''I could have married Prince Charles. I'm not that much older than him you know. I'd have made a wonderful queen...''

I second that motion. :d

Joanna would make a great queen, we all agree. Kate on the other hand, would make a terrible queen I think. But a very entertaining one for the people :lol:

I really need to re-watch all the episodes soon, because they're so full of great quotes :lmao:

Haha, fabulous, innit? :lol: Here's another one:

Oh, absolutely! She's actually a mix of various other characters Joanna played.. I can see bit's of Davina and many characteristics of Patsy, haha. She's the posh bitch, but she does care, and she has a terrific sense of humor. :lolol:

I'm watching series 2 at the moment, and I think I like those episodes better actually - which ones do you prefer?

Oh that's very hard. I always forget which episodes are in series 1 and which are in series 2 :lol:
I love the one where Jack thinks that he's a father, that one's absolutely hilarious! And the last episode is great too, Kate is so convinced that she can sing while she really can't. And I remember various hilarious scenes, but I don't know which episodes they're from, so it's clearly time for a re-watch!

I've only seen them all once, so I don't remember the individual stories very well, but the one where Jack is a father stands out for me, too. I love Jack--another underdog. That episode's quite heartbreaking for me when he finds out the kid's not his--for once, Jack felt like he had someone looking up to him, and he rose to the challenge. John Bowe plays is beautifully. Three cheers for John Bowe. :wub:

Oh, yes I really like that episode too - it has a good story, but also: fashion! Joanna and designer brands like Lacroix, well, it just works, haha! Love her 'lil walk on the runway in the last scene too, fabulous!

Completely drenched and mascara all over her face, but she's defo got the model look, haha.

I actually quite like the first ever episode too: Gloria breaking in Kate's home, the time bomb... not the most realistic plot though. :whistle:

''Can we afford a cab?''
''NO.''
*gets one*

One other thing I love is when Kate refuses to push the slice of bread down the toaster, because that would be considered "cooking" and Kate doesn't do cooking. So she waits until Gloria gets downstairs to do it for her :lolol:
