We shall catch mice in the attic, we shall catch mice in the basement and catch mice in the kitchen, and we shall never, never surrender
Now THIS is the type of hard-hitting and extremely relevant historical exposé we all yearn for
Thinking of making it my thesis, due end of March
When he said that the chief mouser made a statement on returning to his official duties at 10 Downing I was expecting the statement to be, "Meow".
I love how Humphrey is the controversial and psychopathic one - you always need one of those in a line of succession.
Jesus, this is the most British thing ever
Doesn't Japan have a rail line owned by a cat or something?
Jolly good .
"Never, in the field of vermin control, was so much owed by so many to so few."
Good one.
"Vermin is a continuous problem in Downing Street." - yes, yes, but what about the animals, Mark?
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 my sentiments exactly
Or the aging grand looking only on the outside 24/7 infrastructure being served by so many more and more low paid domestic help employees?
"Peta proved to be idle, ill-suited to the job, and not toilet-trained.
Peta was quietly retired to the country by the government for fear of taking other Minister's job's."
Ouch!!!!!!!
The usual intro theme whilst showing a cat stalking around. Purely menacing
I know I enjoyed it.
I had to rewatch the introduction. Hilarious
I freaked out!
Haha... the best juxtaposition. So dramatic.
Cat.... Jagdpanther same diff lol so cool awesome job Mark
I love how indignant Palmerston looks as he is being escorted away by the Constable @10:00
It must be a big scandal when 2 respectful British Government Employees battaling to the death on the street and police have to get involve 🤣🤣🤣
after humfry’s war crimes he fled to the royal medical college where he was captured and brought back to face his tribunal.
Poor humfry... But he will be remembered and loved as a hero unlikely this ugly wife. Anyway It was better for Tony to choose Humfry
That Churchill impression .....
Amazing
“Nelson was the bravest cat I’ve ever knew.” -Winston Churchill
6:42 "But a thorough investigation found Humphrey to be innocent..."
Judge: "How do you plead Mr. Humphrey?"
Humphrey: "Meow."
😂😂😂
"During which time rats were actually filmed scurrying along Number 10's front steps"
Now now, that's no way to talk about cabinet ministers!
Can we all appreciate Mark's impression of Churchill talking about a cat?
Making a pointless glamorous sounding title to a mundane job complete with giving him a Union Jack bowtie is the most British thing ever. I approve.
I wonder what Trump made of the situation?
That cat is such a badass walking along to that opening music.
Good to know that even cats don’t like Cherie Blair.
LOL - one wiff and they knew that pussy was bad😛
The pic of that cat being escorted out loool
Chief Mouser has longer service than most prime ministers; and I daresay more productive in honest service 😽
The...Churchill...Impression...
I can't breathe for laughing so hard
XD 🇬🇧
Everyone who owns a cat understands that gentle little boot to the backside at 5:29 - “Do you want to go inside or not?!”
Love how seriously he’s taking this
This story is one of the most interesting and funny I have seen.
Lol. That picture of the cat being escorted out made me laugh for ten minutes. Great vid.
"and the police had to escort him out" im dying xd
"Nelson is the bravest cat i've ever known" W.C. 🤣
lmao if the cat waits at the door, the policeman has to ring the doorbell 😂
Those are da rules.
Wow, "putting down" employees once they've retired is a bit rough
Paul Dunai they were probably sick and dying
Well you know the whole pension thing. He's gone and there was nothing we could do. NYC 😎
That Moronic smile by Mrs Blair holding Humphrey is where the Joker got his satanic smile from.
This was the most British thing that I have ever experienced.
I love how Larry's life is so documented.
Mark, you're the best narrator in the world today
"Having savaged an innocent duck"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOVE IT !!!!!!!!
Humphrey looks like he's going to mess somebody up.
Humphrey was accused of a crime he didn't commit and went on the lamb. I'm now picturing a James Bond style espionage thriller where he fights to restore his good name.
If Theresa May had left Brexit negotiations to Larry, she might still be in office today.
Peter II was assassinated, being run over by a Soviet car.
Russian people love cats. Each family has one or two cats. We feed street cats which are hiding in the bottom of appartment buildings. Stop talking something what you do not know in a right way. Do you know about Kazan 🐱? Where is statue for him in Kazan.
Can I note that nearly all of the Downing Mousers are adopted Strays? If it's good for the Prime Minster it's good for you, so Get down to a shelter! XD
While working at the Home Office during the sixties my mother was responsible for signing off on Peta's allowance. Apparently that cat was as bad as her reputation suggests and had a habit of peeing on official government documents!
When you hear that intro music, you know there's a good chance you're going to get a story about menacing big cats: Panthers, Tigers, Humphrey...
Love that there are cat scandals.
Rest in Peace Humphrey, 9th Chief Mouser, we'll never see his like again.
Loved the Bobby ringing the door bell then kind of booting it in when it decided to take it's time!
The intro music with the cat walking is priceless.
WILBERFORCE! That’s the best name I’ve ever heard for a kitty
Whoa, the stand-off between Larry and Palmerston made me chuckle.
"Peta was eventually quietly retired to the country". Eeuuh, Mark there's something you should know...
This is great, I can tell you enjoyed making this one.
My own Chief Mouser Molly also enjoyed this one!
Brilliant loved it.
My Chief Mouser Mitz is under house arrest for fighting. We had to take her to the vet for her battle wounds and it cost us $500 bucks. Totally worth it, but I don't wanna do it again.
I don't have chief mousers. I have chief annoyers.
I laughed so much hearing the intro video with a cat on the screen😂😂😂😂
Kaiser of Germania in which the intro video was intended for WW2 and/or Cold War topics Mein Kaiser
This is extremely enjoyable, I think we speak for all of us when we'd like to see more light hearted but historical videos like this in the future~
"Vermin is a continuous problem in Downing Street" (6:13) Typical British understatement.
It's such a great tradition. That picture of Palmerston being escorted out is fantastic 😆 I do love being British 😊
"Okay, you are responsible for keeping mice and rats away."
"Meow?"
"They keep doing harm to our government. Keep'em down. Do you understand now?"
"Meow!"
"Good - wait, _what do you want with the gun?!"_
mediocre man most cats don't catch rats. However, rats won't go where cats are present.
Cat be like meow meow meow * sips tea * Translation= (Yes sir i shall shoot the german maus)
I imagine this was how it went down with Humphrey
Finally! My girlfriend actually watched Mark Felton with me. It took cats to do it, but it happened. Good work, Mark.
When I was a kid we lived in an apartment that had vermin, we got a cat that really cleaned up the problem. He was my super hero.
Acused of savaging an innocent duck, I lost it idk how mark kept a straight face.
Happy new year unofficial history channel.
Also still better than cats the not so musical movie.
I have to laugh at the dramatic music with videos of the cat prowling around.
My Chief Mouser is a 23 pounds big cat with 29 claws 8-7-7-7. Not fat but a big Pixie-Bob cat. Nothing survive to him. When there is a flying bug in the ceiling he cannot reach he cries like a baby.
"Accused of having savaged an innocent duck" lol!
He actually covered this topic in all seriousness. I love it.
Me: It's soon 2020
Mark: Lets talk about cats
The dry British humor [humour] is appreciated.
"Went to live in the country" yeah that's what my parents said when my dog died.
At least you can count on one trustworthy individual in Downing Street, Larry.
Farming and civilization would not have been possible without cats protecting grain. Great mews.
6:48 Humphrey later said that he was just following orders.
This is one of your best videos. The intro music over a cat running around, the Churchill impression, the serious tone. A true masterpiece
Amazing. No mention of any sordid tales of sexual encounters by any of the cats! Government cover up? Or a 'fix'? Histories mysteries.
There was the Humphrey/Robin scandal as well Larry vs Palmerston.
Not a bad ending video for this decade, Happy new year Mark, hope you keep filling us with knowledge this year too!
Half the World is already in January
Dr. Felton, we need a serious UPDATE!!!!!
Oh man this was funny, never expected to laugh so hard at mark's same serious tone and storytelling style he has in every other video, happy new year indeed Mr Felton, brought a smile on my rough 2020 start
This is hands down the best episode ever!
I must say, being a cat person myself, this was pure genius. Top 5 video to say the least. Thank you.
The dramatic war music fits Larry prowling about perfectly 🥰
Larry is old now 😔 keep fit sir
More Churchill voice impersonations, please!
The theme music goes really good with Larry montages
As a Cat Person, this is the most interesting doc on cats I have ever watched on CZcams.
Happy New Year to you too Mark and everyone else.
Evil Fingers you can also watch a documentary on Cats of the Hermitage and Cats of Istanbul
This documentary deserves an award. Hilariously intriguing. 😂💯🔥🤗😻
Having lost my dear old girl Kwikkie to old age on Christmas Day, this video certainly helped to end this year on a better note. Thank you, and a happy new year to you.
All Hail Larry, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland!
I have a fantastic male mouser too named Sylvester. He was a feral but with 2 years of patience he's now a love bug. Normally mommas are the best mousers. I'm trying to keep the number of new mousers down by catching the ferals for TNR. It's a never ending expensive job.
Thank you for the interesting story and the humor! Love it!!!
I want a movie called Chief Mouser now. This is to funny yet intriguing.
Classic David Cameron, bring in a Cat from a poor background (Larry) for an important position just to seem pro-social mobility, before quickly replacing him with a toff cat. Nepotism at its finest. This is why our country is running like a rusty clock.
Only Brits can have a war history on cats :)
I'm still waiting for Peter IV, the dynasty must live on!
Literally the most English thing on the web.
Cats are adorable and hilarious, and extremely british. I think Britain is probably the most cat loving country in the world (perhaps only Turkey can beat them)
Thats a very old way of seeing it, most young people hate/dislike cats in Britain i would say.
“Peter the III?” You’ve cat to be kitten me meow!
"...sneaked in, through the front door..." uh huh, I see
The bloody Blairs. Another life lost due to those horrors.
Never thought Mark could upload a video that would make me love him even more than I do now
This hit two of my loves: history and cats!
A 1 pence spending bill for the upkeep of the cat.
"Honey... you'll never guess the law we passed today" LMAO
I’m anxiously awaiting updates to the Larry/Palmerston feud. Hopefully an armistice can be arraignment can be brokered.
The Churchill impression is priceless
Of course it was Blair that messed with the Chief Mouser
How is this not in The Crown?
Rat: 2020 is my lucky year.
Downing Street cat: I'm gonna end your whole career!
