    The Infanta, for the couple of people who don't know, is played by actress Miriam Margolyes who is best known in the US as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter series. Based on some of her more recent interviews, she is far more eccentric in real life than any role she's played on stage or screen, including this one.

    It's Jim Broadbent that makes this whole episode even more hilarious. His almost deadpan translation in that comedy accent just makes me laugh. He appears as a voice in the (quite literal) climax of the episode which makes it riotously funny. It also reminds me a little bit of Felix Dexter's 'preacher' character in Fifteen Storeys.

Don't settle for a pale wine with a strong bouquet but shallow taste profile, they can become tiresome very quickly and are often overpriced.... 😉
