    Has she interviewed the "military" expert numerous times, or was one interview broken into snippets for these short videos? I mean, one interview with Philomena and you should be ruined for life. I can't imagine any way a person could agree to a second interview, and think to themselves "I've just got to listen more carefully and give more complete answers, because I can see she is making an honest effort to learn."

      He is the one (in the earlier Philomena shows/bits) who always had me ABSOLUTELY convinced he was fuming. Now I'm fairly sure he's just brilliant at acting. For this reason, though it's hard to pick a favourite, I think he is mine

      In Cunk On Earth, Cunk says to the recurring military expert Prof. Ashley Jackson that it's comforting to realise that nuclear weapons no longer exist. He tells her that not only do they still exist, but Britain has recently decided to acquire more. "Yeah, but... they're blanks, aren't they?" she says worriedly. He tells her that they're fully-armed nuclear weapons and that many other states have them. Then this happens:
      Cunk: [looks heartbroken and covers her mouth with her hand]
      Prof. Jackson: I'm afraid that nuclear war and the threat of nuclear destruction remain very much with us.
      Cunk: [starts crying, covers her eyes for a moment, tries to recover]
      [Pause. Prof. Jackson looks stoic as ever.]
      Cunk: ... Awright, can we talk about somethin' a bit more cheerful.
      Prof. Jackson: [gently] Anything you like.
