Like Detective I watch for the journey, and any tips.

Mind you I did struggle with watching Jerry Hall, one of the few i have deliberately missed in repeats.

Not watched much of Ruby, at least not for a long time, but she has done a good job of publicising mental health issues.

A tenuous link, but an old friend of mine who in her youth was the spitting image of Ruby Wax sent me a letter at Christmas in which she mentioned that her OH had found out that he might be connected to Danny Dyer through Thomas Cromwell's father.

I like her, I always have done. I do not usually watch wdytya but will find time for Ruby Wax. The OneShow is an utter waste of time so if she punctured a few of the low grade egos on the show fine with me.

Ruby is not a "nice" comedienne who won't rattle the teacups in Betty's (Harrogatye) but somebody from a tougher world in Chicago. Don't expect a horse out of water.

Ruby Wax's Jewish parents fled Vienna and the Nazis for America in 1938. 'They took the war with them.

Sic

(She) journeys to central Europe, where she learns about her parents' flight and the distressing fate of family who remained in Vienna during the war, and she makes a startling discovery about her great-aunt and great-grandmother, which is both harrowing and surprisingly affirming.

Whether you like the 'personality' or not, doesn't their journey of discovery provide the entertainment?

Take Danny wotsit from Eastenders. No one would have thought he was descend from 'Nobility'.
We may all shout at the TV at some of the crass comments they make. That's all part of the enjoyment :-D
