Anyone see that program over the weekend about the african tribesman who came to the UK and stayed with a couple of different families to experience UK. I watched it for a while and it seemed serious but then they kept focusing in on the fact this tribe thought 'Prince Philip' was some kind of god to them. It through me a bit couldnt tell if this was just a good spoof or geniune. ? What was it ?

Cheers I just couldnt tell if it was a spoof or not, espially when they took them to the gay club, they had a sit down family mean of 'KFC' and also when that the day of family got all emotional.Originally posted by basshead View PostAfrican? You weren't watching very closely at all were you?

I just wonder if they're going to issue their equivalent of a fatwah on Al Fayed for accusing Prince Phil of offing Diana.Originally posted by Bumfluff View PostThanks for the Wiki link BM, learn something knew everyday
