I saw an hour-long problem about this lot on TV the other night. They spent fifty minutes wondering whether they mightn't be some kind of evolutionary missing link before someone had the bright idea of calling in a physiotherapist and giving them walking frames. At which point they all started walking upright. What a bunch of retards! Everyone else in the programme apart from the family, I mean.
