Talk:Joanna Lumley

Too much about Lumley's charity support
In an article about a person known to the public for her highly successful acting career, I suggest there is too much material about the various charities for which Lumely has worked or which she supports. This is not because I in any way denigrate or try to diminish such work. It simply seems off-topic in this article, and gives the appearance of trying to promote Lumley's causes in Wikipedia. I suggest the charity subheads be reduced to a simple list occupying a single paragraph. Dratman (talk) 04:24, 26 July 2019 (UTC) yes, it does rather begin to sound a bit like a PR piece, doesnt it. even in the personal life section, where you'd want to know more about the person (yes, HP is nothing if not an excellent tabloid presence, but isnt an encyclopedia MEANT to reflect the times of its creation - otherwise how can one gauge its noise level?) we get more PR... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.186.128.95 (talk) 20:02, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

This is because it's written by her PR people. Rustygecko (talk) 21:41, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Sadly, an awful lot of showbiz articles are like that. These people live in a world of image management and just think it's normal. What with management company junior PRs and deranged fans, it's very difficult to stop COI editing unless it's done really badly. --Ef80 (talk) 18:35, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Query about categorisation
I am rather confused about why Joanna Lumley has been placed in the category "British people of English descent" since ALL English people could be put in this category. Rollo August (talk) 21:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Travel Show
Hasn't she presented a travel show on ITV that gets broadcast on ITV at 10: 30 p.m. on a Sunday night? This programme showed her going to Haiti, but it does not appear to be mentioned in the article. Rollo August (talk) 21:31, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the programme is called "Exploring the World", It is sponsored by Great Rail Journeys. Rollo August (talk) 21:34, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The programme is actually called "Joanna Lumley's Hidden Caribbean". Rollo August (talk) 22:08, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Dame
Along with all those others named in the 2022 New Year Honours, Lumley will become a Dame in the New Year. She is not yet a Dame. As reported e.g. here, the "honours List is due to be published later this week" i.e. the list has not even officially been made public yet. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:28, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
