During the scene about Abraham Lincoln, when she asked the expert about Lincoln's stomach tattoo.... she specifically references a snowman and a robin.... what is she referencing there?
It seems too specific for her to be making it up and we've come to love the way Philomena mixes up up concepts, such as referencing Lenin leaving "the band" (John/Beatles) while actually talking about Lenin of the Soviet "Onion".....therefore I can't help but think she's mixed up Abraham Lincoln with someone else with the tattoo she's referencing, who perhaps also has a name she's confused with his.
After googling, I frustratingly only found other threads with people looking for the answer and a lot of speculation, but no definite answers....therefore, please reply if you can explain it!
Best episode so far for me (also counting Cunk on Britain). The 'Abba scene' was just really touching in my opinion and throughout the series I loved how sweet these experts were towards 'Philomena'. Diane Morgan's performance reminds me of the best years of Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G and Borat and I couldn't give her a bigger compliment.
I loved how they changed to wide screen and used the Top Gear colour filter to introduce the Ford Model T. Clarkson, Hammond and May would be proud. :grin:
