Royal Épisode Treize (S02E13)

The Royal episode dignifiedly closed the entire second season of the Circus. Miners' disputes about the details of Doric columns strongly reminded me of the former news program Aktuality, in which working-class citizens expressed their views on burning issues of the present (now obviously the past) with words that many a philosopher or literary critic would not be ashamed of. I was absolutely floored by the men who only pronounced the beginnings, middles, or ends of words, and then quickly got me with a series of sketches featuring an egg collector, pigeon racers, and a Hospital sketch. Cannibalism in the Royal Navy and in the funeral home was only the icing on the cake. (06/08/2017)
