In an episode we recorded before the most recent gob-smacking revelations about the prince formerly known as Andrew, this week we delve into the age-old question of is it worth having a royal family?Are they fundamentally different to normal mortals, or are they just the same as us but rolled in glitter? What, if anything, do they contribute to the country and would the whole shebang collapse if we got rid of them?Did old Oliver Cromwell have the right idea when he snipped off King Charlie’s bonce?The peasants are revolting.Yes, they are!And because we’re feeling generous we’ve got a particularly gooey Wenglish Word of the Week, and a couple of rebellious cultural moments.
