You can actually see him choosing his battles in real time.

"The Montegones and the Caplets."

*winces politely*

[saengding]

I love how he opens his mouth to corrects her and then just leaves it at Montagone and Caplet

[MEDUSAvsSHOE]

She stole weeks off his lifespan with that first statement.

[virginiatierney]

At first he cringes and then he recognizes he's involved in something tragi-comic and plays along. Such a lovely old man.

His cringe at her mispronouncing their names 😂

[helenvanpatterson-patton]

I love his face. So interesting. I would love to hear him read stories. She is amazing, as usuall🤣

[greggotheeggo]

So polite even though he was cringing on her pronunciations of their names.

[bigtex]

Verona PD response time is disgraceful.

[satrickptar]

“Just smile, just smile. It’ll be over soon.”

[Cooperink]

She did real psychic damage to that man

[violetsaga]

this feels like a grandfather telling his granddaughter stories and her being curious shocked with the little facts

[saryntoews]

That was the most polite wince I’ve ever seen 😭

[neyten]

his face when she mentioned the family names 😭😭

[chickenskink]

This, along with all other Cunk episodes, is a masterclass in British politeness. As a German who will be staying in the UK for a month soon, I very much appreciate this. I always thought "Nein" was "No" in English, but apparently it's more commonly translated as "I suppose that's one way of looking at it".

[michellegulden]

She's brilliant. Great sense of humor, perfect delivery, reaction and timing.

[joshl.]

"Montigones and caplets" seared a few of his brain cells I think

[seidenschnabelfederflugel]

i feel like he is a kind man. He listens carefully and is happy about the questions and happy to talk about this. this is just my feeling. idk. 🙂😊

[Mussi]

Hide the Pain Harold certainly is a very patient man.

[ragz_learns]

Anyone else feel proud of Philomena for calculating that ‘not yet 14’ means Juliet is 13 years old ?
