utterly brilliant, thought i may actually die from laughing, am sooo impressed the serious historians etc kept the straight face!
If you missed it please watch via catch up or whatever - i think its the funniest thing i've seen since Motherland (probably no coincidence that its the same main actor)

Amazing.
That bit at the beginning about there being nothing, no hope, no energy... like modern day Plymouth 😂

And William the Conquerers name finally made sense Grin

William Wallace's head on a pike like a Scottish Pez

I'm late to the party with Philomena Cunk. I watched it this morning and howled with laughter. Hill Filth!

I loved the interview with Robert Peston.

I wonder how much the interviewees knew about the programme in advance.

Annechristmas · 04/04/2018 14:47

My sons introduced me to her by showing me videos on YouTube. There's lots on there.

Thank you! It’s been bugging me where I knew her from and I didn’t get round to googling it

GrooovyLass · 04/04/2018 16:08

I loved the King Arthur came a lot too. Whole thing had me giggling. Before snapchat the hill chalk man (sure someone will be able to tell me its proper name) was the only way to send a dick pic 😂😂😂

retirednow · 04/04/2018 16:59

She's done previous ones which you can watch on YouTube, Shakespere was really funny. I don't know how The experts keep a straight face.Grin

GrimDamnFanjo · 04/04/2018 17:12

Did he come a lot or no more than any other man?

Does anyone know how much the historians know about their interviews?

The80sweregreat · 04/04/2018 18:41

Really enjoyed this. Very funny.

MinaPaws · 04/04/2018 18:48

Not seen it yet but already howling at these lines. I love her. She's so brilliant.

Stopyourhavering64 · 04/04/2018 18:50

It made me laugh...I don't know how the experts managed to keep a straight face
