The Windsors

On channel 4. It is so funny. I urge you to watch it.

[sunflowersinthesun]

I wasn't going to watch it and the first 5 minutes I thought was a bit
But it's starting to warm up.

"If only I could read"

Not rolling in the aisles yet.

[dun1urkin]

I think they used all the funny bits in the trailers

[dun1urkin]

And what's with the gypsy thing? I don't get that at all

[Dowser]

Is Kate really of gypsy stock? I know she's Jewish didnt know she was a gypsy too.

[dun1urkin]

The fascinators on the wall were pretty funny though

[sunflowersinthesun]

I didn't understand that either?!

[MuttonCadet]

Loving it, very funny.

[Dowser]

Hat bit made me chuckle

[stareatthetvscreen]

i thought it was v good

fascinators = fab

gypsy thing is just a random lol re her background no?

Watched 2 episodes on catch-up. Freakin' hilarious. The scene where Prince Andrew's 2 girls were sitting with their cousin Prince Harry asking if their mum - Fergie could come to his charity ball. Genius! Harry can't read , he gives a letter to one of his cousin's saying " here's a letter from granpa ( Prince Philip) about your mum". One cousin reads it out verbatim. She's not even bright enough to elicite an invitation through lying about Philip's instructions.

Can't wait for 3rd episode Friday @ 10 pm.

I think it's amusing - the Kate bit is just a dig at her being a 'commoner' I think.

It's all overblown tongue in cheek stuff. Some of them are scarily like the real versions though. The Fergie is ace!

[EachandEveryone]

Im just catching up now. How on earth have they got away with it? Hysterical.

[Sotaku]

I'm loving this too. They played on our impressions of the royals perfectly. With Harry being a playboy who can't read, Charles having his causes, Camilla being conniving, Kate a commoner/gypsy, Fergie an outcast, etc. The queen is absent so I wonder if that's a step too far or if Paul Whitehouse will be making an appearance as her.

[OutToGetYou]

No Andy yet either? He's got to be good for a few laughs, hanging around with Sheiks....

[lily219]

The Kate/gypsy thing's just a joke - exaggerating the idea that's she relatively 'common' (i.e. not royal or aristocratic). I think the programme's brilliant!

[Yoksha]

The Princess's Eugenie & Beatrice are absolutely hilarious. They steal the show for me. It's really close to the bone tho' The Three Degrees etc had me chewing my knuckles.

[ppeatfruit]

Yes this is funny in a cartoonish sort of way; not to be taken seriously ,I love Camilla, the evil stepmother, I love Aidan thingy anyway.

[Swanclaw]

I watched this week and wondered how they managed to get a series. It's just so silly! I'm also really enjoying it though. Harry doing the jigsaw puzzle was brilliant.

[officerhinrika]

I liked the references to The Archers, Kate & William going to the Cat and Fiddle etc.

[EachandEveryone]

Its hard to believe Kate lives with Rowan Atkinson in rl.

I haven't watched last night's episode yet.

I love it when Hugh Dennis does his royal family voice overs on Mock the Week.
