THEY SAID WHAT?

"I am one of those annoying, bloody nightmare women who actually really does love life" - TV presenter Gaby Roslin.

"You're going to need therapy. The show ending is going to send all of the world into seeking professional help" - Actress Gwendoline Christie, below, looking forward to the dramatic ending of Game Of Thrones.

"We simply cannot go on like this, with a weak leader, a riven Cabinet and a party in despair. I believe Theresa May has been a failure as leader of our party, which she now threatens to destroy. Hers is a classic example of hubris - and after hubris comes nemesis" - Tory MP Mark Francois says Theresa May should quit, "I've seen MPs exhausted, utterly frazzled, mentally and physically" - Labour MP Rosena Allin-Khan on the effects of Brexit on parliamentarians.

"We've been pursuing this kind of gender bender battle in England for quite some time, and I think it's won, actually. Certainly it is in my country. I can see it very much winning in America, too" - Actress and former Labour MP Glenda Jackson, who is playing the title role in King Lear on Broadway.

"In many ways, I was born a hundred years too late. I often feel out of kilter with the modern world" - Actress Honeysuckle Weeks, star of Foyle's War.

"The Empire has, thank goodness, long gone, but, in this Brexit turmoil that's made us a global laughing stock, it is modestly reassuring to know that a British show about a British queen is watched, and I hope enjoyed, in 146 countries around the world" - Daisy Goodwin, writer of the acclaimed TV drama about Queen Victoria.
