John Bishop ends his series by talking to chat-show catnip Miriam Margolyes

John Bishop ends his series by talking to chat-show catnip Miriam Margolyes about everything from her love and respect for her parents to her emotional response to visiting the Taj Mahal as part of BBC2's The Real Marigold Hotel.

They also cover her passion for genealogy, being bullied at Cambridge by the boys of the Footlights club (she's still not keen on John Cleese) and how she's upset some gay people with her views on coming out.

During their chat she slips easily into different voices and impressions – including Maggie Smith – and John;s hoping to hear the Cadbury's Caramel sexy rabbit again, confessing that it made him feel rather 'confused' as a boy.
