The second installment of the BBC “Cunk on Britain” series is up, and watch it while it’s there. (There will be five parts.)
Surprisingly, Part I is still up (here) though perhaps in a different incarnation, so maybe the BBC will for once let us Yanks watch the whole thing—at least for a short while.
I haven’t yet seen this, but wanted to give people a chance to watch while they could.

What are wordsworth?

WHY did Oliver Twist?
She doesn’t write those? The credits have four different people.

I found myself wanting to hear the end of the Tudor thing. And yes, I will try to get out more…
That one historian kept saying Chudor, almost like ahchoooo.
A question: what’s Cunk’s problem with the 80s British sitcom ‘Brushstrokes’? In each of the first two episodes she’s slagged it, followed by a lengthy clip of its title sequence.
It’s going to b a running joke I expect. Brush Strokes was rubbish, at least IMHO.
She hasn’t slagged it off. She uses it as a historical point of reference. It’s both silly but also acts as an indicator or Cunk’s vacuity that she uses such a rubbish and insignificant sitcom as a reference point for all these critically important historical events.
