Some Words From... Ben Elton

Of the Queen, he said: "She's an ordinary lady. That woman represents Britain more than any head of state represents their country... she's a sad little old lady. She lives in state-sponsored accommodation. Her husband is a mad old bigot that wishes it was still the war... Three out of her kids’ four marriages have failed... the oldest one is a disillusioned ex-hippy and the middle one is a bit of a yob… I'm just saying that's a bog standard British family in all its rainbow glory. If she had a black one and a disabled one, she would have the full deck. That is a head of state."
