Ok, we’re half way through, people. Here we have Cookie bringing the royal theme right up to date, and lowering the tone, as is his wont.
Where Rex showed a bit of refinement, Cook can only offer cheap double entendres. Crown jewels - I ask you!
Still, we're British so there's no way we could get through this without a knob gag (that's a joke, not some sort of sexual appliance). And it is educational as apparently Henry VIII had a huge cod piece. Not a lot of people know that. And no one is making any claims about the size of whatever was under it.
Size doesn't matter anyway, not when you're the king. I hope this young boy knows what he's doing, mocking the monarchy in the Tower of London. He's taking his life in his hands there.
So where do we go from here? Are we firmly in the gutter or can Rex take us back to higher ground?
