Really interesting documentary and the first of three from writer Peter Ackroyd whose knowledge of London is profound
Imagine 6000 people in the 1st century? That must have been a sight to behold! Very interesting and informative series. Thank you for sharing and devoting so much of your time ... and health so we can understand exactly where and who formed a lot of what we know and love today. Plus a lot we did not know ✌❤
The day temperatures hit 40C for the first time in recorded history in the UK, London was lucky there was no wind that day as well. Here in Norwich just a 100 miles from London, two days after the hot spell it was very windy. Norwich is spread out and very much smaller. London is going to be ripped with fires again at some point when superheat and wind collide, Peter Ackryod starting this wonderful series talking about fire lol, WARNING lol.
People from Norwich always pop up with a what about Norwich? I watched one last night about York and in the comments it was what about Norwich? What about Norwich anyway
@@novianovioTV I just happen to be in Norwich, you're cracked in the head lol. Oh and lots of my ancestors are from guess where? York and West Yorkshire region haha.
Interesting
Council estate ie.the projects
What a dopey thing to say - it’s not London killing you 😳
Shame he can’t pronounce the letter R. The speech impediment detracts from his otherwise excellent narration.
Alien woman wuins 😂
