Pam Ayres MBE (born 14 March 1947) is an English poet, comedian, songwriter and presenter of radio and television programmes. Her 1975 appearance on the television talent show Opportunity Knocks led to a variety of appearances on TV and radio shows, a one-woman touring stage show and performing before the Queen.
On receiving the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) I am good entertainer, I have a made a lot of people laugh. I never really saw myself as a person producing literature, but nevertheless it is a very, very nice thing to be given.
