So what’s the point of Philomena Cunk? “We’re sending up all the moves of TV presenters: the earnest expressions, the white gloves, sobbing over the manuscripts, all that – through the prism of someone who’s very dim.” Cunk can be insightful, though, albeit unwittingly. Here she is on Benefits Street: “They weren’t claiming benefits like MPs do, but a different type of benefits that they weren’t entitled to, because they were poor.”

Som Yvonne fra Olsen-banden: ikke den hurtigste knallert på molen, men klog på sin egen måde. Anbefalet.
