NOTE FROM MNHQ - PLEASE NO SPOILERS, AT THE OP AND OTHER MNERS' REQUEST.

Elephant's foot may be referring to this:

Elephant's Foot Umbrella Stand
No, I don't know why the game's called this either. Although, an umbrella stand made from an elephant's foot was a common accessory back in the day.
More modern players might know this better as the 'I went to the shops' game as you'll be saying that phrase a lot. One person is elected leader and they start the game by saying 'I went to the shop and bought...' followed by an object.
The object chosen fits a secret rule that the leader has decided to follow throughout the game. For example, the rule might be that every object must end with the letter E (Ooh, I can see this getting mean...) so the leader might say, 'I went to the shop and bought an orange'.
Players then take turns to name objects they think fits the rule. If a player names an object that doesn't fit the rule, such as 'I went to the shop and bought a pear' the leader can say 'they're all out of pears.'

If you're a fan of Richard Osman's House of Games, some of the variants are played on there, especially Elephant's Foot.

Wow thank you @PhantomOfAllKnowledge !

Does anyone have a link to a video of Mick Jagger doing the move Amanda imitated in the hallway? I can’t find one probably terrible Google skills

watched today - brilliant! Laughed all the way through. Loved Jennifer Saunders in this. Would watch again

It's from Dancing in the Street, the one he did with Bowie.

Absolute genius getting Jennifer Saunders in. I thought it was sthe best episode of Amanda land so far

Agree. Just watched it and found it very funny. Amandaland is not as strong as Motherland but I was pleasantly surprised by this. I see it was co-written by Laurence Rickard of Ghosts fame.

A real disappointment, although Jennifer Saunders played a blinder.

Just watched it again, I love Anne’s Christmas cardigan. Just Google image searched it and it’s primary! Perfect for the character. I love how she’s the richest character - shown by the house in Motherland - but she’s never had real champagne and her cardi is primark.

Thank you @PhantomOfAllKnowledge (fab user name) and @OctopusFriend

ministers cat sounds fun but not sure of the kneeling and hitting one

I’ve just rewatched an enjoyed even more an spotted things I missed first time
