@@wirewehear7254 :) in general, for things to appear natural on tv, some form of rehearsal is needed... in an interview on a late night show in the US she talked about how some of her guests/real-world experts couldn't maintain character and they would laugh during filming (understandably so). scripts were written for each episode (she is a co-writer of the show) but improv was also deployed. the guests were advised to answer the questions as if they were talking to an infant and some became huge fans of the show promoting it on their personal sm accounts :}

From tricky Wiki; The character first appeared in a regular segment on Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe (2013-2015). From a review of series 2 of Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe on IMDB; Barry Shitpeas and Philomena Cunk return with their talking head contributions.This section is expanded as Cunk gets her own section called Moments of Wonder. So it would seem Cunk & Barry first appeared in 2013 & 'Moments of Wonder' in 2014. - I have compiled the former here; kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJOgsKpxpbLAlco.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/jISJ2LuvmKy1lpM.html

Well she's not speaking in an RP English accent, she's using her own voice, a regional Northern accent (she's from Bolton, near Manchester), very much not RP. When the character was originally created it was proposed that she would give Philomena an RP accent, which on paper makes perfect sense. But Morgan instinctively knew that It would work better in her own voice, and she was right.
