Charade

A team of posh Brits are playing charades. One player seems to be able to effortlessly convey his clues to the panel, the other couldn’t get them to guess “Superman” as he emerges from a phone box and flies through the air in a cape! Along the way, just about every film you can imagine is named, wrongly, and never before have “Killer Squid” or “The Last Time I Saw Paris” been quite so daftly attributed. I enjoyed the increasing look of exasperation on the character failing quite so spectacularly, as I did some of his hints that reminded me a little of the sketch cartoons we found in newspapers in the 1970s. PS: they don’t tell you the answers, so prepare to be annoyed if you struggle…!
