Does anyone else just want to slap Mrs. Jennings?


I know that she is supposed to be the way she is, but seeing it on screen makes it so much more annoying! She needs to keep her nose out of everyone's business!

I know I’d never be me without the security of your loving arms keeping me from harm. Skyfall

I have a soft spot for Patricia Routledge as Mrs. Jennings in S&S71. I think she's terrific.

I do like Linda Bassett a lot. But I can also like Patricia Routledge.

Having a soft spot for Patricia Routledge is something we share - I love her in everything!

She was a bit young, perhaps, for Mrs. Jennings, but her performance is the life of the 1971 mini-series, for sure.

Oh, right. So, she secretly trained a flock of sandflies.

She was annoying but not the slap-inducing kind..

True North strong and free!

No, I am quite fond of both she and her son-in-law. Yes, they tend to get into everybody's business and are somewhat relentless in their teasing, but they are kind-hearted and so funny that I can forgive them their short-comings.

I'm sorry but I'd much rather save all my slapping energy for Fanny Daswood. Now that's someone I'd have no tolerance for.
