I LOVE these!!! I just had to watch another one! As I said, Phoenix Nights back next week, but for now, it's Philomena time! 🤪 Also, is Philomena a real name? Do people actually do that to their daughters? Condemn them to a life of ridicule?

First again yayyyyy

Philomena is a real name, although not a common one here (I'd expect most people bearing the name in the UK to likely be over 80). Apparently it's most common in Nigeria though

Union Jack, not onion :)

I'm going to up my game for the videos next week, Josh. Make sure you are ready for me.

Josh

Could you imagine putting Karl, Philomena and Mandy in a room together. Their conversations would make everyone else's head explode 🤯

Steve with a beard

I can never remember the order of any of the Royals haha (well pre-Victoria anyway). In high school they seemed more interested in WW2. In middle school it was stuff like Aztecs and Egyptians (way more interesting 😂), we never really did much about Kings and Queens at my schools - not that I would have remembered anyway 😂 Great reaction as always Mandy! 😁

[Insert name here]

Have you ever considered taking an ancestry DNA test to see where your ancestors came from? I did mine a few years ago hoping I'd find links to Norway or France but no two thirds English one third Scottish

Philomena does a lot of mispronounced words that show her ignorance of most subjects, the first one is in the title sequence when she calls Great Britain a skeptic isle instead of a septic isle ( meaning green ) and calling the flag the onion Jack instead of the Union Jack ( jack being an old name for a flag), Charles I's son, Charles II, did hide in a tree at one point during the civil war to hide from some pursuers. In the original series, Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, Philomena had a male counterpart, called Barry Shitpeas.

You mean 'Sceptred Isle'. A sceptre is a decorated staff used by a monarch for ceremonial purposes. The particular reference to the land as a 'Sceptred Isle' comes from Shakespeare's play Richard II, where John of Gaunt refers to it as 'this Sceptred Isle' during his death-bed speech. However, another character who, like Philomena Cunk, frequently gets things wrong, DID refer to the UK as a 'Septic Isle', that being Del Boy from the comedy series Only Fools and Horses. 'Septic' does not mean green, it means infected by micro-organisms, particularly bacteria, which is why it was so funny when Del referred to the land as 'this Septic Isle'.

irreverend

@Johnathan I was about to say, I know not everyone enjoys Britain but I wouldn't call it septic :)

Jonathan Pettitt

I also wonder whether that would make us the bacteria!

Jonathan Pettitt

If you had the test done by a website, have you looked at your results on that website more recently? Because the site I use updates the estimates as more information becomes available over time. It is extremely unlikely, nigh impossible, if you have a long history of British ancestry that there will not be influences from continental Europe. If you had your DNA test done on the same site as I did, or one that also updates the results as more information becomes available, you may find your results have been considerably refined from the results you received a few years ago. My great grandmother was a Bonner.

Stuart

i don't remember doing very much history about kings and queens at school. The end of school G.C.S.E exam I did was Russian revolution and WW2, which wasn't really history at the time as my grandad who wasn't that old then was a soldier in the Italian campaign. Now they seem to make up history to suit a narrative.

Julian

Most of us didn’t learn much about kings and queens at school. David Mitchell released a book recently about that very subject, which is apparently quite funny too, although I haven’t read it. I’d have time to read books if I didn’t spend so much time watching sport, YouTube and Patreon 😂

Remi

If she was a real person Karl would dump Suzanne in a heart beat I wonder if Diane got the inspiration from Karl

Remi

She had a celery stuck in her 🤣 for fuck sake

Tee Tee

I've been considering one of these for months now, one side of my ancestry was mapped out long before I was born going right back to 1100's. Would be interesting to see if the DNA backed that up. Just concerned about the potential for cyber attacks on your DNA data.

Tee Tee

That guy was raging inside and fighting to keep his composure 😂

Kirk Deighton

You would have been lucky and just missed the endless lists of royals era of history lessons if you were born in the UK. I only caught the tail end of it and I'm a decade older. It really put me off history for years, I hate the lists and dates approach.

Remi

Especially when Mandy starts making friends references and Neather of them know what language she's speaking 🤣

Remi

Ah yes Nelson's column to requote and joke from the office uk What's black and slides down Nelson's column Minnie Mandela

Josh

They will see her happiness and enthusiasm for friends and be happy to join in 🤗

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Few points in this one: I know you have a thing with Butts; sadly you're gonna be seeing a lot of em in the art work 🤣 Edge of the world. Real fear for sailers at the time. Took a while before the Europeans proved the earth was round. There's a whole Drama series about Mary Queen of Scots on netflix called "Reign". Tho I got bored after the third series. (Of about 12) Yeah. History in school was long and lucrative but I hated it. There's a lot of names and boring stuff. That's what the "Horrible Histories" tv show was for. The royal family is a litany of inbreeding, drama and rapid changes of power. That in itself is a big subject. Don't worry about the Liam thing. If you live that lifestyle that tends to be how it ends as evidence shows. Gunpowder plot to blow up parliament. Interesting story, I'm surprised she glossed over it. We celebrate the foiling of the plot every year on bonfire night. By launching fireworks and burning effigies of Guido 'Guy' Fawkes. A spanish Catholic conspirator who was caught in the undercroft of the house of parliament after essentially being grassed up by his co-conspiritor who's relative was in parliament. It's the day before my b-day too!🎂. Trailers defo spoil films. Worst one I've seen was Rowan Atkinson's recent film: "Man Vs Bee"

AWR93

“The youngest anyone has died of old age” that was amazing 🤣🤣 her deadpan delivery is just perfect! Also Mandy, about what you asked me on my peep show comment, I sent you a lil message on insta! Hope you see it 😊

Carl-Fredrik L

Haha its the Union Jack btw 😆 sorry

Carl-Fredrik L

Also, Charles II actually hid in an oak tree to evade Oliver Cromwells forces

Jonathan Davies

My favourite thing about this series is that Mandy is actually getting very decent (but very slightly wrong) history lesson on Britain 😂 she’s going through what we all went through in primary/high school 💀😂

Jonathan Davies

I will say there’s a few mispronounced name jokes that are understandably going over your head as you don’t know the references but you’re still picking up a lot of them 👏😂

Mandy Cane Lane

Ohh, Egyptians were fascinating! Well I am glad that wasn't the case then! 🙌🏻✨️🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

I have never really considered that and while I would find it really interesting, I feel it wouldn't have any impact on me. I kind of just feel like a human citizen of Earth, never really identified with one country or another 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mandy Cane Lane

Thank you for all being so polite! 💚 I must say, knowing nothing of the topics, I did not catch those silly mispronunciations 🤣🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Huh, what an odd subject to learn about in history. At least you didn't have to memorize the long list of royals though!

Mandy Cane Lane

Hahhaa, well, I won't say anything about how you spend your free time, but I too would read more if I didn't film for Patreon and Youtube. 🤭💚

Mandy Cane Lane

Hmmm... maybe history of other cultures or a different side of UK history perhaps? There is some interesting stuff, but I too am not a fan of the lists, dates and study of wars or people in power

Remi

Oops maybe he was having an affair

Remi

It was supposed to be a funny euphemism for penis but I'm an idiot and remember it wrong and confused the name of Nelson Mandela's wife

Mandy Cane Lane

I have a thing about butts? Do tell, what do I have? 😅🧐

Mandy Cane Lane

That line was great! And oh, ok... going to look for it!

Mandy Cane Lane

I was so curious as to why there was an illustration of that! Haha

Mandy Cane Lane

Lmao! I love it! Just one step closer to my citizenship 🤣💚

Mandy Cane Lane

You want to know the best part? She is a character, Karl is real!! 🤣🤣🤣

Benjamin Taylor-Yates

Well...Remember the guy with the assless chaps in that episode of car share. 🤣 And remember your reaction hahahah. 13:20 "Ayyy! I saw a butt!" ..."His butt is out...out!!!"..."--he's wearing assless chaps"..."this is-is-is a great one too." 🤭 You managed a whole 50 seconds pointing and talking about butts. And Mandy - go to bed!!!

AWR93

Yes you may 😊 I have faith in your memory, haha 💪

It Was Jessica Fletcher

Philomena Cunk was originally created with Charlie Brooker for the later series' of Screenwipe onwards. He is also a co-writter of her solo shows. Please watch Charlie Brooker's many programs, especially: Screenwipe, Newswipe, Weekly Wipe, How TV Ruined Your Life, Anti-viral Wipe, Death to 2020, Death to 2021

Muggins

And may I add.. IDK why novody ever seems to mention the one-off Gameswipe where they go through the history of video games. There might be more references in that which Mandy understands, compared to old British news and celebrity guff judging by her previous Mock the Week reactions.

It Was Jessica Fletcher

The difference is Mock assumed that you know what they are talking about, whereas ...Wipe showed video clips as it describes what they're talking about, so even if Mandy doesn't already know all of the references, the videos clips help to explain anything that you don't know about. Together with the fact that lots also feature "Philomena Cunk's moments of wonder" sections which are the origin of what became the full stand-alone "Cunk on..." programmes I think Mandy would really enjoy the programs. Btw I forgot about GamesWipe, which I agree was also brilliant.

Josh

YOU DID !!!!!

Josh

I did history in year 7,8 and 9 I think but when I had to decide what to do in 10 and 11 I chose to do geography at gcse instead which was a mistake ngl

Josh

Its the union jack not the onion jack 😅
