This Old Palace

Much to my (and her) amusement, my housemate is hooked on a reality show: Country House [link updated 2006] follows Lord & Lady Tavistock (the future Duke & Duchess of Bedford) and their staff as they manage the Woburn Estate.

In a recent episode, after Lord T’s heart surgery, Lady T said: “Your new diet starts tomorrow. Have you decided on a final indulgence? . . . Are you thinking what I think you’re thinking?” “It’s only a short drive.” “Last time?” “Last time.”

So Lady Tavistock went to McDonald’s to fetch a hamburger and a shake. His lordship was in heaven.
