We reach the 20th century, and as stupid as the good Philomena is, she occasionally hits on a truism: first world war soldiers "came home to a Britain they could hardly recognise, because it was wearing a skirt". Elsewhere, she wonders if the BBC was one of those "stupid mistakes the government makes, like Brexit".
