Summary
Award-winning actress, bestselling author of her memoir This Much Is True, and Britain's naughtiest national treasure is back, and she's as outrageous as ever.
Join us on another unforgettable adventure through the extraordinary life and strong opinions of Miriam Margolyes.
'My new book is called Oh Miriam! - something that has been said to me a lot over the years, often in tones of strong disapproval. It contains lots more revelations and stories and discoveries and I can't wait to share it with you all!'
From being escorted off the Today programme (for saying what we were all thinking) to declaring her love to Vanessa Redgrave; from Tales of the Unexpected to Graham Norton's sofa, she is our most loved and most outspoken national treasure. Oh Miriam! takes you inside both her head and her heart. Buckle up for the most irrepressible, hilarious and moving listen of 2023.

Fantastic!
Miriam being Miriam, what else can you want?
Only one tiny criticism, is that some of the stories have already been told in the first book. but it is only a few stories, plenty of new stories too.

Miriam’s anecdotes.
Miriam, Love or hate her but this is another great book.
Her straight up, truthful, if sometimes outrageously rude anecdotes of life are just marvellous.
The way Miriam writes and narrates is as though she is sitting having a chat over a cuppa with you and I laughed and cried with her.
I didn’t think Miriam would be able to surpass the first book but thank you Miriam, I have thoroughly enjoyed your second book and can highly recommend both books,

More stories too funny
Her reading is amazing, she’s so funny and grass. It’s like your long lost grandma is back and not racist.

Borrow rather than Buy
Most of this new audio recording is a rehashing of what Miriam Margolyes related in her excellent autobiography, This Much Is True. There are some tidbits in Oh Miriam that are amusing and fun, narrated with the style and panache that only MM can achieve. But overall let's call this new offering what it is, an attempt by the publisher to make more money from a wonderfully successful first hit. Miriam Margolyes herself calls this book "the sinker". If someone is going to throw money at you for snippets of life stories, it would be foolish to say no, especially since Ms Margolyes has already told us a good deal about herself. I can hear the publishers saying something to the effect: Miriam we need something NEW - give us something new so that we can offer this up as a legitimate followup to This Much Is True and sell it as such. The narrative of the Vogue shoot is amusing, and Ms Margolyes also does something of a Q&A drawn from the many inquiries generated by This Much Is True, which corroborates that she has been an inspiration to her readers and young aspiring actors. Having been in an industry known for not being kind to women, and being cruel to women who are not classically beautiful, Ms. Margolyes is an ebullient survivor and truly should be celebrated for her joy and achievements. But in effort to inject the "new" into this new book, Ms. Margolyes relates less inspirational, and totally unnecessary narratives of her nasal exploration, and a bowel/bathroom experience. (This is the 2nd recent autobiography by a Brit with a bowel/bathroom story - if British plumbing is that bad, Brexit is not the U.K.'s only problem.) What I would like to say to Ms Margolyes is you are an intelligent decent, compassionate person, and a brilliant actor - this comes through in your work. You are enough. No need to embellish with the sensational, or try to appeal with the lowest common denominator. Because Ms. Margolyes has been honest with her audience, as a reader I will be honest in this review - it's not worth audible points, or paying for this edition. But there are edifying moments in "Oh Miriam", and for that reason, if you are a Miriam Margolyes fan, as I am, borrow the book/audiobook from the library. Oh Miriam is not a book to buy, but This Much Is True is.

A genuine treasure!
Miriam Margolyes is the perfect antidote to what ails society. Direct, honest , compassionate and, not least of all, extraordinarily funny, she pretty much takes no prisoners when discussing the current state of politics and culture in general. Her boundless energy & optimism are an inspiration!

A lovely life story of woman full of kindness
I thoroughly enjoyed this fun and historically informative autobiography.
Miriam has no fear of using her beautiful voice to engage us in her life journey and the rollicking fun she has had so far in 82 years!
You will enjoy every bit of this story of her career, education and family.
