When they refer to "we were there when you went nuts" that was the episode which partially inspired her being cast as Patsy, when she is in her house, then this episode was after the Ab Fab success I think!

More recently I was fascinated by and enjoyed her 'mutual interview' with Melvyn Bragg in 2011 on a programme called 'Living the Life'. If you can get hold of it - watch it - you won't be disappointed! :) x

The whole premise here is really based on laughing at mental illness. I remember watching this as a teenager, and thinking it hilarious. I really do love Ruby Wax and always have done. I wonder if any of this now seems a little exploitative to her? Given what a fantastic advocate she is for those of us who suffer with mental illness. But hey - the best comedy stimulates deeper thought and works on many levels. Love you Ruby, xxxxx
