Every time I think I've plumbed the depths of british comedy, seen every panel show, every sketch show from 1960 to now, every absurd weird thing that island has ever exported, I find something new. and beautiful.
@Supermassively The English are the masters of the English language. hence 'English'. Pronunciation can differ from spelling it's common practice. If you're not English, and you speak English (obviously with a different accent distorting and deforming our good language) please don't say we're getting it wrong. We wouldn't re-write the rules of baseball and claim you're doing it wrong.
@smakn But silent letters are an inherently stupid and pointless concept, and the English, who claim to be masters of this language, are pronouncing it even less phonetically than the Americans that are supposedly "mangling the English language".
By the way, "pneumonia" is Greek, and the Greeks did pronounce the "P". "Gnat" is from old German, and they pronounced the "G". You "masters of English" were the ones who mangled those words with un-phonetic silent nonsense.
@Supermassively english is not a phonetic language and it can't be (think about how many homonyms/heterographs there are and you'll see why). So if you want to speak a phonetic language go and learn Japanese
@atlantiantokra Any language can be phonetic. Just because some moron made the mistake of not eliminating phonetic redundancy, doesn't mean it couldn't have evolved to be as such.
I wouldn't learn Japanese if my life depended on it. Horrendously ugly language from a sick culture.
@Bleumange - And people have told you it's not WHO, it's the tv program. The person portrayed doesn't seem to be a parody of someone else. It's the program they are making a parody of.
Armstrong's brilliant crestfallen & despairing facial expressions on the revelations of his family history are a masterpiece in comedic skills.He is a genius-as is Ben Miller also.The cream of British comedy acting & writing that we have not seen in a long time.Give them Knighthoods !!!!
Oh the irony - in the real programme the researchers show that he's 20 direct descendants from Richard III and only a few more from William the Conquerer. I wonder if either of them were into whoring at all? Hmm...
I love how insincerely Armstrong plays it at the start. He just cares about his own pride and how he looks on screen. And then you see him genuinely distraught which is even funnier.
who is the actress? It took a few times watching it (because I was laughing too hard) but it strikes me that she looks and sounds like Peneolpe Keith. Daughter? or just co incidence?

@Supermassively well, pneumonia has a 'p' in it, but I don't hear anyone pronouncing it 'pee-neumonia', or gnat as 'g-nat'.
There are silent letters in every language.
Also, you can still hear the 'r' in her pronunciation. So she's just saying the word in a shorter and more clipped way than most north americans.
