In the second one they have been barred for always winning, so turn up disguised as the Women's Institute Quiz Team. They have been on about two weeks, mid to late evening, and are really rather good!

And we've heard it all before. Incidentally, he is appearing in an advert on Channel 4 at the moment with Tony Robinson (of Blackadder, Worst Jobs, Time Team, etc) disguised as members of the Women's Institute - it is actually very funny.

In the <i>Telegraph</i> he modestly denies he is Henry VIII's reincarnation (but still <i>they are very similar</i>), and in the <i>Observer</i> he nostalgically compares the Hampstead Heath of his youth to Henry's historical milieu: "The heath was as tightly regionalised and governed by etiquette as an early modern court. The upper bit by Jack Straw's Castle was for the junior year, then as you went down towards the ponds the sex got heavier and heavier and more and more leathery."

I won't be watching the series unless it pops up on bitTorrent which I will keep an eye out for on the net.
