These are so hilariously done. I'm addicted.
"Frankie goes to Hollywood singing about spunk." Good lord I wasnt ready for that 😳😭
"I think I'd kill myself if I couldn't have crisps"
I love this show
Just discovered Miss Philomena couple days ago , love her . How do they keep a straight face?
@JZ's BFF Gosh you are a regionalist fart.
This is amazing! This is the show I've been waiting for for 30 years. Back in the 80s on Saturday Night Live, Norah Dunn had a character named Pat Stevens - a TV show host who was just like this!
Does anybody else want to watch Brush Strokes by now?
No. Really no.
Yes, Dexys Midnight Runners..................
Every episode I forget about it. Then bang - Brush strokes intro.
Gets me every time 😂
Ross Coburn It’s the joke that just keeps giving
No. 😡
That guy was so mad at her calling it “war 2”
Britons are World Re known for having "A Stiff Upper Lip". What is truly astounding is: the highly educated scholars
and historians in this series never even flinch, scratch their heads or roll their eyes at the questions.
Why have I literally only just found out about this? And her? Borderline comedy genius masked by sublime silliness. 👌
“Along the way, I’ll be shouting at helicopters” I’m done for. Hahahahaha
I'm feeling so big priveleges to being in west Ukraine and listening your show now.
Thanks for that our army and support of your great country)
The commitment to the Brush Strokes gag is laudable. I almost want to see it now...almost
For real haha she has you all invested in each episode and then bam out of nowhere BRUSH STROKES
Not smiling and being permanently tired. I'm dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The viewership was up to 400, numbers that BBC4 can still only dream of." got me good
"or the band named after him" oh that touched my heart, this is amazing
The Brush Strokes cutaway gets me EVERY time. I never expect it.
running-gag gets me* There! FTFY
And each time sane people cringe even more than the time before .... Probably because they reckoned Brush Sorks belonged up the ovipositor of a Pelican the First Time the TV puked it at us
I spit up my coffee when she said "even women male prostitutes" 😂
The thing about Portuguese was brilliant. But I was waiting for her to ask the expert if he knew why Americans were always playing a British patriotic song at their graduations lol.
good question 😂
Smartest and most sublime funny showbizz woman i ever saw, this Philomena character voice, and manners is out of this world brilliant
"What was up with the Sewers, did someone try to flush something that was awful?" That joke only works with a British accent, amazing
"A bit like Boris Johnson"... The irony is hurtful at this point.
Why have I seen this just now?!?! This looks awesome and super funny! I have to start on episode 1.
I just started on episode 2. I am loving this! I don’t understand how people don’t find it funny
“Today, racist bigotry has no place in contemporary Britain... except Kent.”
Boy, don’t I know it.
"Little did he know it at the time, but he'd narrowly avoided tragedy by dying." 🤣🤣🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
"We shall fight them bitches!" is such an inspiring quote tbh
The NHS announcement brought tears to my eyes. I'm not British, I'm Brazilian. We don't have an NHS - we have the SUS (single health system) that was inspired by the NHS. Inspired in the same manner some songs from Rolling Stones were inspires by Howllin' Wolf songs. Thank you!
How do the experts manage to keep their composure ! A real miracle !
Shouting at helicopters - a vital skill for all historians.
@Mëïstër Ëmm Being an historian who is homeless and mentally ill is not mutually exclusive.
@Mëïstër Ëmm where do you live that you have homeless shouting at helicopters 😂
Now they shout at drones, which is harder because those motherfuckers are small
"Or NHS for less long" made me laugh, it's brilliant when you think about it.
It's pretty easy to miss but it's cheeky as hell lol
"Hitler thought that the Germans were an elite race, like the Grand Prix." I keep losing my shit on this show :D
-Churchil's speeches were stirring, andpowerfully erotic
Churchil: We know it will be hard, we expect it will be long
