Quotes:

[first lines]
Jonathan Meades: She is supposed to have departed this Earth a hundred years ago, our Queen and Empress Victoria Regina. She is supposed to have slipped away, to be reunited with her beloved Albert and his cock ring. Can we be sure of this? It sometimes feels as though she's all around us.
