The Royal Episode wrapped up the second season with dignity. The miners' debates over Doric column details reminded me of an old TV show, where working-class citizens discussed pressing issues of the day with the eloquence of philosophers or literary critics. The men who only pronounced the beginnings, middles, or ends of words had me in stitches. Following that, the sketches about the egg collector, pigeon fanciers' races, and the Hospital sketch kept the laughs coming. The bits on cannibalism in the Royal Navy and at the funeral parlor were the cherry on top.
