The Infanta, for the couple of people who don't know, is played by actress Miriam Margolyes who is best known in the US as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter series. Based on some of her more recent interviews, she is far more eccentric in real life than any role she's played on stage or screen, including this one.

And the interpreter is professor slughorn

It's Jim Broadbent that makes this whole episode even more hilarious. His almost deadpan translation in that comedy accent just makes me laugh. He appears as a voice in the (quite literal) climax of the episode which makes it riotously funny. It also reminds me a little bit of Felix Dexter's 'preacher' character in Fifteen Storeys.

The infanta is good for those not afraid of being a little wild ;)

[@CS-zn6pp]

Well..... I have had the honor of sampling quite a few wines over the years and I have to say that a full bodied Spanish red is a very good option for a cold winters night. Don't settle for a pale wine with a strong bouquet but shallow taste profile, they can become tiresome very quickly and are often overpriced.... 😉

yeah but the stone of Galveston is not blue either so...

[@eangeleyesr6678]

No one has ever seen the famous stone. It might be brown

[@ianinkster2261]

Am I the only person who would probably go with the infanta? She's only about 35 and seems to know what she's doing. It's the only way to go. The alternative is marrying that 10yo and holding off for several years if you want to do the halfways decent thing.
