The Windsors Channel 4

[Pppppickupapenguin]

New series on now. Anyone else watching?

I did! It was hilarious. I've missed it. Is a different actor playing Harry?

I love it, especially Beatrice and Eugenie. I wonder if any members of the RF ever watch it?!

The drunk ducks were hilarious.

I've never seen it but will put it on now so I know what it's about.
Oh I'm too late :-(. Will try and catch up.

I only watched one episode previously. It was the wedding special. I watched it at the weekend and it made me laugh. I may need to go back and watch the rest of them.

Watching on +1.

It was recommended by my friend.

Its very good in a slapstick way.(.it's like Brass years ago.)

When was it written?

I have watched it since series 1. Yes, Harry is a different actor and they referenced it in the script.

Absolutely hilarious 😂

I've just watched on catch up

Mixture of clunkingly awful and inspired. It's better when we see more of Kate, I think

I thought the actress playing Beatrice was good.

And I think recognised "Mughan" from 2 pints of Lager!

I love it. It's sooo cruel - live action Spitting Image.

It’s so good. I like the new Harry. Bea and Eug are so endearingly hopeless. I’ve only discovered it recently as had no idea it was a comedy. Binge watched it all in a few days and started tonight on latest series.

I've just started watching the very first episode on Netflix. Bea and Eugenie are brilliant!

I love Bea and Eugenie too! And how fab is Harry Enfield as Charles?

Harry Enfield makes a glorious Charles I agree. The only one I don’t think Perfectly cast is Edward.

I love it - my favourite is Camilla closely followed by Anne. It’s savage

There’s an episode in the last series where Anne glides across the floor like a ghost

Today I have the York girls vocal fryyyyy...yyyyyuh..

I love Pippa and Camilla .

Just watching episode 2 now.

Did anybody else feel it was a bit cruel and disrespectful?

I was swaying between that and laughing. I'm not sure what I think but did enjoy watching.

Agree it was very spitting image but those where quite different times in terms of how it was acceptable to treat others.

I thought the treatment of certain members of the RF crossed a line big time.

Notice they didn't include any of the oldest or youngest members which at least was something. Assume that was out of respect.

Yes, it's disrespectful - that's the whole point, isn't it?

HMQ and children are not featured.

Yep it’s very disrespectful which is why I love it. The RF want respect and get preferential treatment x 100 wherever they go and whatever they do. They aren’t held accountable for any of their more questionable behaviours and actions and this is where The Windsor’s excels. Calling out their hypocrisy, inability to see things from their ‘subjects’ points of view and at times incredibly dodgy (at best) actions.

It’s right that the children are left out if it though.

I started watching this the other day purely because of people on MN recommending it. I started straight on Season 3 as that’s topical. I think it’s great but a bit hit and miss.

The way Camilla is played is brilliant.

I don’t like the way Anne is done that much which surprises me as I normally love the actress who plays her.

I hadn't heard of this, so thank you! Enjoying it hugely, it's hilarious! Love all these royal MN threads.

I think I'm alone in disliking Camilla - it's just silly not funny. I love TU playing her though. I wish they would do something with Kate's hair in this.

noeuf my least favourite character is Camilla too. Followed by Edward. I don’t find either funny. The actors are both great but how they’ve been scripted doesn’t work for me.

I'd like Camilla to be a bit more jolly hockey sticks type character. And I need them to fluff up Kate's hair to make it more Kate like
