"The death of queen Victoria reduced the number of women in British politics by 100%" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“If Shelly’s one of the greatest poets in English literature, how come nobody gives a shit about him today.” “Thats a complicated question.” That shit sent me.

"Darwin eventually evolved himself... into a corpse." Best way to view death.
-
"must be a good book if you can overlook the fact that he slept with his sister" dead
-
"I'll be starting sentences in one location - and finishing them in another." 😅 Classic trope. They must've watched a lot of real historical docos to nail all these clichés and it's brilliant.

"Workers did long, feckless hours, with no breaks and low pay, in squalid and threatening environment, conditions unthinkable to anyone today who isn't a junior doctor" - thanks Philomena for tribute to us :)
-
"Animals who were dead are less likely to reproduce than live ones." Quite a controversial sentence there.

“Despite the spoiler in its title, Oliver’s Twist doesn’t have a twist at the end - which come to think of it, is a brilliant twist in itself” amazing

The Victorian era produced more Victorian writers than any other period in history 😂
-
The fact that the academic from the London university appears always just about on the verge of crying really makes this episode
-
As a historian I really love this series - it's funny, it's well put together, the questions are so basic and dumb that they actually can help give a very rough sketch of british history for those who are unaware of it. - Which likely is why the experts agreed to join into the series. That and because academics can't shut up about topics that interest us.

Queen Victoria is often portrayed as old and grumpy. But she wasn't always a sour, disapproving old woman. She was once a sour, disapproving baby.
-
- "He was your favorite?" - "YEAH!". - "The one who slept with his sister?".
-
It's insane how seriously she speaks when everything coming out of her mouth is a joke. She's really gifted.
-
Let's not ignore the writers of this and other episodes. Their wit and play on words and satire are to be hailed as true and great British humour.

that poor man at 4:53. he's so traumatized by the last questions, he boils his answer down to "Jane Austen was a woman who wrote novels" lmfao
