Xa uJoan Bakewell aqala iminyaka yesibhozo yokuthandana nomdlali odlalayo uHarold Pinter kwiminyaka yoo-1960, akazange akrokre ukuba angayenza loo nto. Kodwa ke wabhala i-Betrayal wayithumela kuBakewell ngezimvo zakhe. Impendulo yakhe yokuqala yayisoyikeka.

Ndothuke kakhulu kuba yayisebenzisa ubomi bam babucala, utshilo, ethetha nam kwigumbi lokuhlala eliphezulu kwigumbi lakhe elinemigangatho emine kumantla eLondon. Kwakusondele kakhulu kumcimbi wethu.
Ngo-1978, xa i-Betrayal yavula, bobabini uPinter noBakewell babonwabile kulwalamano olutsha kwaye bahlala bengabahlobo. Kodwa umdlalo wamcaphukisa uBakewell kuba khange amxelele ukuba uyabhala. Wamcela ukuba atshintshe isihloko, awayecinga ukuba sisityholo, kodwa wala. Yaba yimpumelelo ebalulekileyo kunye nentengiso kwaye kamva yahlengahlengiswa kwiscreen. U-Bakewell, okwangoku, wathula kangangesiqingatha senkulungwane, ngethuba apho waba ngumsasazi ohlonitshwayo, umbhali kunye noDame woBukhosi base-Bhritane. Umdwebi wasweleka ngo-2008.
Namhlanje, eneminyaka engama-84 ubudala, uBakewell uthathe isigqibo sokuba lixesha elifanelekileyo lokuba athethe. Ukugcina uqhagamshelene, umdlalo weqonga wemizuzu engama-45 awubhalileyo ngeminyaka yoo-1970 njenge-riposte kwangoko yomsebenzi kaPinter, uzakusasazwa okokuqala kwirediyo 4 kule veki. Kuthetha ngomfazi otshatileyo onabantwana oqala ukubuza ngobomi bakhe, kwaye ujonge indlela umcimbi kaBakewell owavela ngayo. Umdlalo wawubhaliwe ekuqaleni, utshilo, ukoneliseka kwam kukuqina kwamandla kwaye yayiphantse ibe ngumthambo wecathartic. Emva koko wayibeka kwaye wayilibala.

Kuphela kuxa u-Bakewell ehlela ngoovimba bakhe kutshanje apho athe wadibana kwakhona nomdlalo wakhe. Ucinga ukuba uPinter ngewayenze ntoni ngayo? Kukho ukunqumama. UHarold wayengazukuvuya kakhulu.
Okwangoku, ngaphandle kwayo yonke into, ukhumbula uPinter ngothando olukhulu kwaye uzijonga enegazi elinethamsanqa lokuqhuba umcimbi okona kulungileyo kwiminyaka elishumi ngelixa wonwabele ubomi bosapho kunye nomyeni wakhe wokuqala, umvelisi kamabonakude uMichael Bakewell.
Akazange azive ekhuseleke ngokukodwa ngumcimbi lowo. Ngenye imini, ndandisenza uthotho malunga neebhulorho ezazifuna ukufota ngaphandle kweLondon ngamanye amaxesha, utsho echwayitile. Ndathi kuMichael, ‘Kufuneka ndivuke kwakusasa kuba kufuneka ndiye e-Ironbridge.’ Ndaya eHeathrow ndafumana inqwelo-moya eya eParis ukuze ndichithe usuku noHarold, owayefota apho. Ndibuyele exesheni ndiphekela abantwana isidlo sangokuhlwa.
Kukho inqaku elikhethekileyo lokuzingca kwilizwi lakhe. Xa ndimbuza ukuba yeyiphi eyona nto intle ayenzileyo, u-Bakewell unyanzelisa ukuba ngumntu oneentloni, ngokwenene kodwa uyavuma ukuba uhambo oluya eParis lwalunobuganga kuba lwalumele luhlelwe.
Ndandinosapho, utsho. Abantwana [Harriet noMateyu] babehlala apha. Yayiyintsapho elungileyo; Intsapho ephumelelayo. Kodwa ndandithandana noHarold. Ndicinga ukuba abantu bakufumanisa kuyinto engaqhelekanga kwaphela oko.
Akumangalisi, ndithi, nangona banokuzibuza ukuba ukhe uzive unetyala ngobuqhetseba.

Hayi, uBakewell utsho ngokuqinileyo. Ukuziva ndinetyala yinto ekufuneka ndijongane nayo kwangoko. Ndikhumbula ndicinga, 'Ukuba ndiyaqhubeka nale nto, andizukuhlaselwa sisazela ...'
Ndinemvelaphi eyomeleleyo yokuziphatha endicinga ukuba bendidlalisa, kodwa ngubani oza kuthi abantu akufuneki babenemicimbi? Ngokubhekisele kwabasetyhini, amanye amadoda akayeki ukuba nomtsalane kuba ufumene lowo utshate naye.
UBakewell watshata kwakhona, kumvelisi weqonga uJack Emery, kodwa baqhawula umtshato ngo-2001 emva kweminyaka engama-26. U-Emery wayeneminyaka eyi-12 emncinci kuye. Umahluko wobudala ubalulekile, kodwa ezinye izinto zibaluleke ngakumbi.
Yeyona nkampani inamandla kakhulu. Akufanele ndimangaliswe kukuba umfazi onento engama-80 unembono yanamhlanje, kodwa ndim. Kuyinxalenye yokuba uBakewell ujonge ubuncinci ishumi leminyaka elingaphantsi kobudala bakhe (ii-Pilates eziphindwe kabini-ngeveki) kwaye uthetha ngobuciko obukhuthazayo kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwi-Twitter ukuya kwi-transsexourse ukuya kumanyala amanyala athi ngamanye amaxesha ndilibale ukuba ndithetha nabani na, kuphela ukuziswa Mfutshane ngokuthetha into enje, Ewe, ewe, ndihleli kule ndlu ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-50.
Ngo-1975: UJoan Bakewell noJack Emery emva komtshato wabo
UBakewell unabazukulwana abathandathu (omncinci una-17) kwaye uhlala ebabuza imibuzo ngobomi babo kunye nendlela yokusebenzisa ilaptop yakhe: Bangabahlobo abalungileyo, ngokwenene.
Ngaba angaze abe ne tattoo, njengoko wenzayo uDavid Dimbleby eneminyaka engama-75? Bakewell uyangcangcazela. Hayi bendicinga ukuba yitshizi ngokwenene.
Kumhla wakhe wokuzalwa, xa wayebamba iinkqubo zobugcisa kunye neenkqubo zeengxoxo ezinje ngeLate Night Line-Up kunye neNtliziyo yeMicimbi, uBakewell wayedume ngokuba yingqushu yendoda ecingayo ngumhlobo wakhe, umsasazi uFrank Muir. Oko waye wayigxotha le ntetho njengesidenge. U-Bakewell akazange athuke nge-epithet kaMuir kuba, ngelo xesha, abasetyhini abakumabonwakude babejikelezwe ngesini. Uyakhumbula ebuza omnye wabaphathi bakhe kwi-BBC ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-60 ukuba ukhe wacinga ukuba umfazi angazifunda iindaba, kwangoko wathi hayi. Ngaba amadoda awayesebenza kunye naye ayeza kumqhina?
Ewe kunjalo. Yayiyindlela yokuphila. Kwakungekho ndoda ingakhange ivele, okanye icinge ngayo. Yayiyimeko yamaxesha, yiyo loo nto, ngokumangalisayo, kungekho mntu ukhathazayo noJimmy Savile. Wayeyindoda nje engaqhelekanga. Kwakukho uninzi lwabo ngeenxa zonke. Isimo yayikukuba akukho nto ikhubekisayo malunga nayo. Njengomntu owayemhle ngezo ntsuku, wakrwitshwa kwaye wacofwa kuyo yonke indawo, kwaye ngandlela thile, le nto yayingekuko ukuyivumela ibaluleke.
Uyonwabile ukuba aphile ukubona inkulumbuso yesibini yabasetyhini kwaye, nangona wayeyintanga yaBasebenzi, uchaza u-Theresa May njengomfazi ofanelekileyo. Nqumama. Ndicinga ukuba izikethi zakhe zimfutshane. Nceda ungenzi nto ngaloo nto, uyongeza, ngokucacileyo.
U-Bakewell ebelikhoboka lobufazi ubomi bakhe bonke kwaye uyakhumbula exelela umama wakhe njengomntwana oneminyaka esibhozo ekhula eStockport ukuba kungcono azalwe eyinkwenkwe kuba amadoda ephume waya ehlabathini. U-Bakewell waya kwisikolo segrama yasekuhlaleni emva koko waphumelela isifundi sokufunda imbali eCambridge ngaphambi kokuqalisa umsebenzi wakhe we-TV. Wenza ntoni ngabafazi banamhlanje abanjengoBeyoncé?
Ngaba nguye onamathanga amakhulu? Ubuza emva koko axolise kwangoko. Yinto embi kanjani ukuyithetha ngomnye umfazi! Ngaba ingqondo kaBeyoncé? Noko khange ambize ngokuba yingqushu.
