Goddamn, the kid answer to "is father Christmas going to be allowed into the country after Brexit" being "yes, because the police can't get him in the air" almost killed me
I’m visualizing the faces of a couple of hellfire and brimstone priests from my childhood when she explains, "The baby Jesus wasn’t an ordinary baby. He was born with a big yellow circle round his head. Which must have been hell for Mary to push out, especially when you think that nothing had ever been in or out of her down below before." Perfection!
Lol. She is actually right to say who knows, because none of the gospels specify how many there were. Also, the account says they were Astrologers, rather than wise men.
"Incredibly, the day he was born was just the first day of his life". I dont know who writes these but this is well beyond average British humor. I love these.
It's written by Charlie Brooker (the guy who co-wrote Black Mirror, Screen Wipe,Weekly Wipe, where Philomena first appeared, co-wrote Nathan Barley etc. etc. he has a few credits), Diane Morgan (Philomena) and the cast, and Philomena's boyfriend Sean. Sorry, Ben. His real name is Ben.
I just discovered this remarkable parody series today. Diane Morgan's acting is a combination of serious talent and remarkable powers of self control - there's no way I could deliver those lines without bursting out laughing! And that writing! So much genius involved in this production.
@@papermache--origami5653 LOL...yes. Pretty much monitored 24/7 as well. Either through phones, laptop or main pc. You can probably tell by the speed of replies. Take care and have fun.
"Christians shouldn't celebrate Christmas because it isn't in the Bible, but instead should be in Church, which isn't in the Bible, reading the Bible, which isn't in the Bible "😲🤣🤣
@@parrotmaster8787 church is in the Bible though. And Bible is just a word meaning book. Old testament is mentioned and quoted a lot in New testament, and surprisingly Old testament from the very first book of Moses has mentions of Jesus and his role as saviour. It starts with what God said to Adam and Eve and to Abraham, who passed it down to generations after. Isaya wrote prophecy about the birth and death of Jesus too.
Apparently Brooker had the character of Philomena down as a dim posho, but Morgan's interpretation won him over. She really has perfect comic timing. I mean, you can't write lines for interviews like that. The bit about bread sauce and the long pause for Jay Raynor to squirm around in - that was Morgan's natural ability and ad libbing. And the shoplifting - I'm still laughing about that.
Hermione Ziggeraut I just love the way she delivers that acidic satire and keeps that gormless expression, holding your nerve in an interview like that can't be easy. Although with Cox he's totally in on it.
"Despite being the stuff of nightmares, Santa is the world's most popular home intruder. Probably because, unlike other home intruders, he doesn't leave a turd on your living room carpet, but a pile of gifts."
I love how in every video she looks up towards the sky in wonder, as if trying to decipher the mysteries of nature and the universe with much effort 😄😄
I'm an American, and we're just now seeing Diane Wilson on American TV, as Philomena Cunk. SO FUNNY. I've watched her documentaries on American History and laughed the whole time. I have to wonder, what are all these intelligent people she interviews really think of her questions and comments. She is great I want to see more of her.
"In my opinion batman doesn't exist, he's just a man called Bruce. But I think superman has definitely met santa clause" What a classy and respectful young man, I loved this.
Santa and superman has defiantly met cose their are not real. Batman is only a man called bruce who's rich and mortal. We all understand the fine line between real Super heroes and the other super heroes.
"We often told to feel sorry for those who are alone at Christmas but these days it's all of us and thats Brilliant" Thats what my dad said on last Christmas eve before he went to buy milk
"Were there pagans before there were humans?", she asked, and my man just good naturedly answered her "Nope dee doo! You gots to be human first! *smile*" So precious
In my opinion it's not only funny but also deeply moving in many aspects. And I like it that in the end she still asks what is the meaning of Christmas.

Professor Kate Williams gives Professor Brian Cox a run for his money as funniest interviewee. I'm sure she and Philomena are trying make each other crack up at one point.
I had to stop the video, I was doubled-over laughing when she said "...that tree remained the most heavily decorated piece of wood at Buckingham Palace until the day Roger Moore was knighted".
*"A civil war is like a real war, but it's not abroad. So, it's cheaper"* LMAO

The "how many three wise men were there" moment feels almost like Philomena found a worthy opponent as far as sheer mononeuronism goes.
Good ole Mary. Mighta been 15

Yes, this is fantastic. Buster Keaton use to be very serious while making strange stuff.
what is being discussed through humour is not very funny. i am very surprised that she is not crying. for some people england is a very sad place

A little smirk from Cunk 15:30
“History shat out someone that was allergic to fun, Oliver Cromwell” 😂
I love how patient Ronald Hutton was with her pronunciation of solstice.
He’s as cool as a cucumber!
'I think he just shoplifts.'
'Okay.'

Philomena + children = dangerously hilarious conversations
Tiny adults, known as children. 😂
The fact that I read this as Philomenas response instead of the child’s, then later realizing it was the child’s but it still works is killing me😂
The kids were so confident in their answers. I love it.
Having Philomena tell two kids that Santa Claus is a shoplifter (17:40) had me rolling on the floor

"Ordinary people had to celebrate Christmas by coughing, and counting their surviving offspring!"

"Despite being the stuff of nightmares, Santa is the world's most popular home intruder. Probably because, unlike other home intruders, he doesn't leave a turd on your living room carpet, but a pile of gifts."
"clanking chains and going woo" in that tone killed me
