It’s another bank holiday weekend and that can only mean one thing for us here at Good Show Sir! Party time! Or possibly just the cinema and a few beers, which might be a party… to some people.

And is that supposed to be a maple leaf on his shield, because if it is, I think that tree is growing too close to Chernobyl.
