It was some tree, wasn't it?

At times he seemed shell-shocked.
He will never live it down on The Last Leg! They've already had him dressed as Henry VIII and ribbing him for being a republican! Now I've seen the episode, he did look genuinely impressed!

I do find it a bit irritating when celebs are (apparently) made to appear ignorant of basic history. I can't remember if they've had people where that wouldn't wash (as I said, I've not watched it for years, but the football was on in my house!).

I've just realised why I enjoyed it - no tears (crocodile or otherwise) from anyone or gross misunderstandings about the way people lived in the past or trying to put current values on historical events. I did notice they very much glossed over how the banking family made their wealth.
