You've got to admire a bloke who still has the balls to be THAT non PC these days.
I like him!

I'm not a fan of the Royal family, but what a top bloke!

Just read through the gaffes and struggled to stifle laughs as I am meant to be working...

Always thought he said foolish things 'cos he is a bit banjo-country (in a Royal way) but now I reckon he just has a caustic sense of humour, and likes to upset PC types (just 'cos he can).

Cheers, Fil

I did indeed TOTTY watch it. Sad but DIVORCE nice to see that the bloke in the original program is a humourous and nice bloke despite the affliction.
