I quite enjoy Fushigi Hakken and the Kantei thing (can't remember it's proper title - the fake copy of the Antiques Roadshow), but the 'talents' in funny wigs and make-up, hitting each other over the head with plastic hammers and falling about on the floor stuff leaves me cold.

Her prince can cope with them because he, again unlike his mother, grew up in that environment. The 'Let's' options are still a long way off.
