Sheila Carter: Funeral
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Five mourners share the back of a funeral car as it pulls away from the church, trading polite remarks about the service and the ninety-eight-year-old deceased. When one man says the old fellow had a decent run, Sheila Carter (Catherine Tate) primly rebukes his choice of words, and the car sinks into an uncomfortable silence; a ringing mobile phone earns a mumbled apology and a fresh show of disapproval. As the hush stretches on, Sheila breaks it with a prolonged, thunderous fart, then calmly asks her neighbours to shift along because the car is too cramped, leaving the others frozen in disbelief.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
You've got to admit, the old bugger had a good innings.
I'm sorry, I find that language very disrespectful.
I'm sorry, would you mind moving down? It's very cramped in here.
