maudlinsays...An honest to God documentary on the development of English culture. All 15 segments are available on YouTube, so consider this a pointer to the whole set. You can get part two here.
This segment's first comedy element: Eddie tries to barter his way to a bacon roll.
benjeesays...Great find...I missed this when it was on - Thanks!
Kruposays...The map at 2:45 reminds me of the Rome and Medieval Total War game maps.
Um, barter doesn't sound mind-blowing to me - what's the age of the target audience? Well the sequence is good, but the explanation seemed obsessive.
Good for the kids, though.
Libre Pondo. Nice 'demolishment' of Nationalistic Currency Bitches.
ravensays...I'm a history dork, so I can't help but correct him....
But, technically, he's wrong on his first point. The celts were not the first to settle England, there were Neolithic people's present long before the Celtic invasion... evidence of this is Stonehenge, one of England's most famous monuments. By the time of the Roman arrival, the Neolithic peoples had been almost completely marginalized, and were known as Picts, and had been almost totally wiped out or pushed up into the highlands of Scotland.
couplandsays...^ are you saying the celts were part of the roman invasion? I thought they predated it. i'm not a history dork, so treat me gently...
TimothyChenAllensays...The funny thing is that Eddy looks great out of drag, too.
maudlinsays...I think the Celts were from France, or maybe Boston, but don't quote me on that.
picklekingsays...Good stuff here!
I'm also not a history buff, but it's hard to imagine that when the celts were settling Ireland - or wherever they were BEFORE moving into England - that at the same time some type of human settlements weren't also occurring in England. In fact, if human development originally moved northward from Africa...surely the land masses of present day England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and other northern European nations would have been settled by similar pre-history peoples (?).
