The fact that she's trying so bad to hold her laughter at Cunk's ridiculous questions is so amusing and funny to watch. The whole "Jesus painting himself" bit became my favorite after the Camelot one because how she ended up following along with the joke but still trying to keep herself as professional as she could lol Also the Camealot clip became 10x times funnier knowing that it was the first thing she asked to the professor after she sat down lmao

Your mate Paul leads such an interesting, if at times disturbing life. You must be such a great friend to him.

I love this professor

1:20 you can tell her soul died a little inside 😂

2:42 that woman was fighting for her life lmfao

the baby crucified jesus painting got me

I hadn't noticed that it's the same professor. She looks younger on the second interview... I think.

"We're both just lost here, aren't we?"

"Darkages" had me dying

Sir Arthur Came-a-lot

Brilliant research, writing, delivery, and improvisation. Got to love this!

Any time she says "My mate Paul" watch out for whatever comes next!😂😂😂😂

I just can’t even get over how very fabulous she is

I love watching them try desperately to grasp her non sequiturs, and develop a professional answer. Their faces are just a picture after question 1. Some adapt better than others and yet all try to give answers like there’s a classroom of kids watching!!

The interviews are all so good. But my favorite Cunk bit is when she's looking at stone-age tools in a museum and points out the stone axe is "as well as boring, they are shit". :D

the experts reaction are all meme worthy 😂

That professor must be an amazing teacher. I don’t know how she kept it together lol

The Prof is knocking it out the park, keeping up with Cunk 😂

Love the title. It suggests a conflict and I wasn't disappointed.

I know I should feel guilty about how much that prison story makes me laugh..

That is great. Laura seems a nice person but really struggling to hold herself together. So much fun

"it took me places I wasn't ready to go ...and when I looked up, Paul was crying" 😂 this bit was so funny and so disturbing in equal measures 😢. It now lives rent free in my head.

How do they get through this without shrieking with laughter. I suppose a lot of editing was done to cut that out.

I like to think her mate Paul is the same Paul from the Bible.

crazy how Philomena has such well defined eyes like you wouldn't find a person who has eyes more than she does, whereas dr Ashe just has spots on her face

I need to know when the Dark Ages were in relation to the techno anthem Pump Up the Jam by Belgian group Technotronic

the pursing is the final struggle to not laughing.

I find Cunk's style quite funny since I don't relate to that history. But I wonder the historians would be pretty offended by her callous remarks 😀.

She (expert lady) came out thinner or leaner in this episode, in comparison with the king arthur and his tablespoon episode.
