When you asked if in Victorian times they would have said "books away at dinner" instead of ipads, that is an accurate comparison because Victorians were always complaining that the youths spent too much time reading books and that it was rotting their minds, so pretty much the same attitude as modern people have to ipads or phones.
I wonder what they will say in another 100 years 🤔
@@fredjones234 "Unplug yourself from that quantum dream hyperdrive and watch a CZcams video instead"
Get out of that ho!osuite, it's time for dinner! Kids these days, can't even imagine being somewhere without simulating it.
It actually was not. Victorian didn't want, specially women, to read books, because that would make them question society's rules and morals. I don't think that's the problem today. Today it's about disinformation, not knowledge.
The Suffragettes: This all started in 1912..2 years before the Great War when the soldiers realized how much they needed the women as nurses etc
It did however take a few years till women had EQUAL voting rights..
Yes, Ringo Starr narrated the original UK version of Thomas the Tank Engine. 😄
I love the way she takes the micky out of all the hackneyed techniques that have been done to death in British documentaries, especially the historical ones. The standing on the cliff and yelling up to the camera gets me every time 😂
I think her 'AND SHOUTING AT HELICOPTERS!' is so funny, and massively underrated.
Also starting a sentence in one location AND FINISHING IT IN ANOTHER!
Mr Men was a kids TV show when I was a kid, like a cartoon made by hippies stoned out of their box.
I like how some of the experts play along in a very subtle way.
She always plugs "Brush Strokes" for no discernible reason! (It was actually an enjoyable sitcom unknown to much of the population).
All novels are books but not all books are novels.
i.e Cooking Book
How true.😅
One of the best written and played characters on the telly box :D
New Zealand was the 1st country to allow women the vote in 1893, although some territories (non-independent areas) belonging to various countries gave this right to women who were landowners earlier than this. The UK it was 1918 that women were allowed to vote. I think some States allowed women to vote in the USA, but then retracted the right, for example New Jersey gave women the right to vote in 1776 but rescinded those rights in 1807. Other States also gave women the vote, some then rescinded and some not, but the USA as a whole didn’t give women the vote until 1920. In fact the time period between about 1916-1930 saw women get the right to vote in dozens of countries and territories.
New Zealand was part of the British empire back then. The first sovereign country hat allowed women to vote was Norway in 1907.
@@Jonsson474 actually
Finland was the first European country to join the ranks of other, more progressive nations in 1906. But, At that time, the country was called the Grand Duchy of Finland. Women had enjoyed voting rights before this, however, under both Swedish and Russian rule. What was unique about the 1906 ruling is that it also granted women the right to stand for parliament, the first country in the world to do so.
Norway however granted suffrage in 1913 to women, though men in the nation had been voting since 1898. The suffrage movement here was led by Gina Krog, and she helped pioneer a law in 1901 that would allow some women to vote. These women must have paid a certain amount of taxes or be married to a man who paid that same amount. Not satisfied, Gina Krog and other women continued fighting for the next 12 years.
@@annalaehdesmaeki6533 Finland was not a separate country in 1906 and had never been independent. I’d like to correct you that what eventually became Finland was under Swedish rule. It wasn’t. What eventually became Finland was Sweden, the eastern half of Sweden. It was never conquered in any way and had never been a country with borders before that. After Sweden lost the war to Russia in 1809, what eventually became Finland was lost to Russia so it was definitely under Russian rule for just over 100 years. When the Russian revolution happened, Finland took the chance and declared itself independent.
There were different more or less autonomy’s regions around the world that allowed womemt to vote before that as well. New Zealand, as previously mentioned, was one of them. But they were not countries.
Love the way she made Great Expectations into Great Defecations.
Diane Morgan is an absolute gem
the TV show intro is a running gag in the series! She has a similar one with the music video of Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic in Cunk On Earth
Dickens suffered a stroke near the end and when she said he should lie down he replied "On the Ground" which is said to be his final words. However the "Times" (of London) reported that he said “Be natural my children. For the writer that is natural has fulfilled all the rules of art” Which sounds entirely made up to those with a cynical bent!
how everyone keeps their faces deadpan thru all of this is unbelievable id luv to see some behind the scenes footage of those being interviewed cracking up or her losing it lol, great reaction and tbh im quite impressed u picked up on a lot of subtle very british points in there, a few times i was chuckling away only to notice u looking perplexed which just cracked me up even more, theres a lot of inside jokes to british humour similar to where american humour uses politicians and celebrities a lot the vast majority of which we have never heard of on this side of the pond
It works something like this;
Diane Morgan sits down with Packham, she's a normal adult woman. He is told they are filming a children's show. Her questions are prepared. She reads something like... 'David Spatula, Class 4b of Milton Comprehensive asks; how long would it take for a pig to evolve into a cow?'
Chris Packham now answers as if to a child, which means patiently and without laughing at them.
After filming, Packham leaves the location, taken away by a gopher. The writers then look at the responses given and tweak their funny versions to best fit with Packham's anwsers. They roll the cameras again and Diane films the Cunk side of the interview. In some cases I am quite certain they have someone on hand with a very similar hair style and I'd bet a couple of suitcases of generic clothing so they can have a good stab at recreatingthe guests's rough appearance, at least from behind, and have them sit in so some of their shots appear to show both Diane being Cunk and the guest, whilst she asks the Cunk versions.
TV is always illusion. If you ever go watch them filming even something like a game show you'd see just how much is staged, arranged, filmed, refilmed, tweaked, adjusted and packaged.
Yes.
Ringo was the conductor on Thomas for a bit.
“…a leg could get caught.”
Yeah. That’s called a “breach birth”
They still had computers before Babbage. Back then, a computer was just a man,sitting at a desk with a mechanical adding machine in a room with a hundred others doing the same thing.
Reading is a city not far from London and Gaol is the old name for Jail.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol (where I live) was remarkable for the very reason you pointed out... it spans a huge gorge with no arches or supports, the deck suspended from iron chains, a design replicated hundreds of times since.
A Computer can be a person (watch the movie hidden figures) or a machine that works on mathematical problems... not simply an adding machine like an abacus.
By Ron 🤣🤣🤣
Diane Morgan is a genius. Never seen her in a bad thing- great in After Life, Mandy and Motherland!
Ringo Starr did voice Thomas the Tank Engine - UK version. I think George Carlin did the US!
I think Victoria got the Empress title after her eldest daughter became an Empress and Vic didn’t like being outranked. I think! Wouldn’t stake my life on it.
Damn I need to watch Mandy. A show based all around her has gotta be good
Motherland is brilliant, very funny indeed.
Clifton Suspension Bridge was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. A young and innovative engineer, he was 24 when he was appointed for the project which came about through a competition. Brunel described the bridge as ‘my first child, my darling’, and the ingenious bridge, which took 33 years to complete, marked the beginning of a great engineering career.
Traversing the Avon Gorge, Clifton Suspension Bridge has become a highly recognisable structure that is one of Bristol’s top tourist attractions. Sir Abraham Elton called it ‘the ornament of Bristol and the wonder of the age’ back in 1831, and while - thanks to technological advances - wonders have moved on, Clifton Suspension Bridge remains the enduring symbol of the city of Bristol here in the UK.
That woman who threw herself in front of the horse died there , it wasn’t a random horse or horse race , it was the Epsom Derby and she specifically targeted the Kings horse … true story
👍🏴
Also she threw herself for the right to vote in monarchy xD
@@motherpigeon1582 I’m not sure what you mean tbh , if your saying it was done as part of the Womens suffragette movement which included the demand for womens right to vote then yes that was implicitly inferred , if I didn’t make that clear enough , apologies 🤷♂️
👍🏴
She did not "throw herself on front of the King's horse". What she did was to put the lives of the jockey, the horse and herself in danger by attempting to attach a rosette to the horse as it sped by to publicise her cause. It was an irresponsible act with a tragic result but at least there was no malign intent unlike the letter bombs sent by other women's suffrage campaigners (the first ever incidences in history of this terror tactic) or arson. I have far more admiration for the women's suffragists (e.g. Millicent Garrett Fawcett) who continued their more cerebral campaign during the First World War, after their more extreme allies had given up their hysterical campaign in favour of giving out white feathers in public places to men of military age who were not in uniform.
@@MrBulky992 Keith that was very verbose and long winded tbh … I know what I saw , she picked out the Kings horse and stepped in front of it whilst it was doing 35mph going downhill and most likely weighing the thick end of 500kg …👀 she was t attempting to put a rosette on it , she was making a point by martyring herself and she would’ve been well aware of that fact . You stick with your version and I’ll stick with mines . Mines just seems rather more plausible than yours if I’m honest . Result was the same anyway .
👍🏴

An investigation in 2013 using film footage taken at the time from 3 angles and reported in a television document on Channel 4 showed that Emily Davidson was not trying to become a martyr to the cause but was simply attempting to attach a scarf to the bridle of Anmer, the King's horse, as a publicity stunt. The findings were outlined in an article in The Guardian newspaper on 25 May 2013.
Davidson had a return railway ticket and a ticket for another later event the same day. She was making holiday plans with her sister. She clearly had no intention of killing herself.
There is evidence that Davidson and her friends practised at grabbing horses' reins near her mother's house and that Davidson herself was only present at the Derby because lots had been cast as to who should do the deed.
The jockey fell from the horse and suffered concussion. He was haunted by the event for the rest of his life and eventually took his own life in 1951.
Belief what you like if the truth does not matter to you as it does to me.
Oh Connor! Please don't think that this has ANYTHING to do with history! LOL! 'Gaol' was the correct spelling of 'jail' until WW1 (or so). Edward Muybridge (the films) was a huge name in early cinema (and the first to answer the question whether horses always have one foot on the ground when galloping! Spoiler: They don't!)
These are great ...I love watching Americans watching our humour and history
Women in New Zealand won the vote in 1893 but it wasn’t until 1918 that women in the UK were first allowed to vote, though there were restrictions attached, as women outnumbered men following the Great War; this “problem” was solved when a pandemic occurred with pregnant and post partum women highly vulnerable and thousands died. It was another decade, when women were finally allowed to vote on the same terms as men.
The hell you are talking about George III was glorious
For anyone interested, the guy at 25:10 with the big boots is Little Tich, doing his "big boot dance".

I remember being taught that a novel is more than 39,000 words
Victoria is often portraid as being grumpy or cross. Hence Victoria Cross, the highest medal "For Valour."
It's a typically British play on words joke.
Hang in there Connor.
The small wheel on the wagon/bus was most likely small so it could turn. if large it would smash into the wagon/bus.
If you want to find out about Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Jeremy Clarkson has done a brilliant documentary on him. Well worth checking out.
I never managed to watch this programme, I didn't realise it was done tongue in cheek !!
Hi Connor, Wildes book "The Ballard of Reading Gaol", is nothing to do with reading & writing. There is a town in Berkshire called Reading, pronounced redding, and Wilde was incarcerated in gaol there, gaol is the old style spelling of jail. It is still in use, and has the same pronunciation, a little like Geoffrey and Jeffrey. The x-factor is a tv talent show with comedian David Walliams, and actress Amanda Holden as two of the judges.
I prefer prison to jail.
Bigger wheels at the back to support weight.
Smaller wheels at the front to be more governable.
Draw means to pull/drag something. When drawing a picture, it is a pencil (for example) that is being drawn across the page
A book is a physical item, a record of information on many pages bound inside a cover. The contents can be anything you like. A novel is work of fiction regardless of the medium (book, ebook, audiobook, loose pages held together with paperclips etc)
I am not surprised an American is this ignorant.
All novels are books, not all books are novels.
I believe Queen Victoria was specifically interested in having the title "Empress" because her vanity was offended by the idea that, as a mere queen, she might soon be outranked by her daughter, Victoria, who was married to the heir of the Kaiser of Germany and likely soon to become empress.
Two birds were killed with one stone as, whilst the UK had no precedent for the title 'emperor', India had been ruled by the Mughal Emperor until the recent collapse of that empire as a consequence of the Indian Mutiny and it was thought that having an Empress there as a rallying figurehead might be politically beneficial.
Darwin wrote a book " Oranges and Peaches"!!! Nooooo way!!!! 😂😂😂😂Origins of Species!!!!😂😂😂😂
Brush Strokes is an ongoing joke.
Noticed that Charlie Brooker is one of the writers, yep, that makes sense.
He wrote a A TOUCH OF CLOTH, absolutely your sense of humour.
You have to pay attention to the background when watching, lots of play on words and visual gags.
He's not just one of the writers, he's also the creator of Philomena Cunk (she first appeared on his Screen Wipe show, and became so popular that she got her own spin-off).
As well as A Touch Of Cloth, he also created the TV show Black Mirror, and wrote the brilliant but forgotten zombie show, Dead Set.
@@carlgibson285 I didn’t know that, thank you.
25:49 the judges on “Britain’s Got Talent”
Ringo star did indeed narrate the first few seasons of Thomas the Tank engine
I know some apes that refused to evolve into humans.
The “Prince Albert” of course is a full ring piercing through the penis.
It was difficult to tell she would be a queen because she wasn't wearing a crown. That's what made it easier for her mum.
That statement was hilarious,but I get the impression that some of this humour is going over this guys head.
Conor , I live in Bristol here in uk and we have 2 of his sublime creations here still , the Clifton Suspension Bridge and his massive fir the time steamer called the SS Great Britain which is docked permanently here. Worth taking a look , the guy was a genius and also did railways , bridges , railway stations and massive ships 👍🏴
Ringo Starr did do the voiceover for Thomas the Tank Engine btw
“Oliver Twist” does have a twist
Brunel put steam power to use, as an engineer. As big of an hero as Swedish Polhem, who learned to harness water power.
8:16 its called a "breech presentation". It happens
6:05 Either - a novel is a kind of book, or - A novel is the software and the book is the hardware.
Brunel built the first Underground tunnel under water in the World!! We got married last year n his museum in Rotherhithe ;-)
Some babies DO get "turned around" and some of those times doctors will have to perform a caesarean or episiotomy
Of course, as I'm sure you know we only started sending convicts to Australia after the loss of the American Colonies. Off the top of my head I think we tended not to send "murderers" (unless we had already hung them).
What’s so funny about your commentary is that your questions like the difference between a book and a novel place you only 2 notches above her character’s level?
Babbages machine was a mechanical computer. It was programmable. It's recognised as the first proper computer. Britain also invented the first electronic programmable computer, in WW2. Annoyingly the government got rid of it after the war. It 'got rid of' Turing too, who had laid most of the theoretical groundwork for modern computing. A tragedy and a wasted opportunityall in one.
To answer your specific question, no, an abacus is not a computer. Nor are slide rules, log tables or basic calculators. A computer must be programmable, changing it's function depending on the programme.
…
All novels are books, but not all books are novels. A textbook, while a book, is not a novel. Whereas, Sense and Sensibility is a book that is a novel.
That’s almost the same as saying “What’s the difference between a sedan and a car, or the difference between a lake and a body of water?”
It’s a computer if it has a switchable program (on some medium). It is even more so if a program is stored within the computer memory, making a boot program.
The Greeks built a computer too.. Before the Christian age. They used it for astronomy
Emmerdale Pankhurst… 😂😂😂 Oh god lol… 🤪🤣

6:10 not all books are novels but all novels are books.
Dictionaries, manual instructions, children’s stories, novels, encyclopedias are all books, but not all of them are novels.
Omnibuses, omni for "everywhere"-bus, we had them here in Canada too.
Smaller front wheels for tighter cornering.
Norway, in 1913, was the first sovereign nation to grant women's suffrage, although some regions and territories, within countries and empires, had granted limited suffrage earlier. Women got the vote in Britain in 1918 and in the US in 1920.
19 September 1893 New Zealand granted women the right to vote. First vote was 28 November 1893.
A breached birth, where the baby is upside down, is much more difficult and fairly dangerous.
The questions you ask are similar to the ones Cunk asks 😄
Norway was the first sovereign country that gave women the right to vote. It happened in New Zealand in 1893 but the islands were still a British colony back then.
Queen Victoria was the first person to be called Victoria, meaning Victorious the name Victoria didn’t exist before her
Conner I am sure you have been asked a few times to have a look at Brunel, although not tall he was a giant
The smaller front wheels help them steer the bus better by getting under the front overhang.
awesome! .. an episode of King Kong Britain!
That suspension bridge, if I remember right, Brunel entered into a competition and his original design was thrown out by the judges as they said it simply wouldn't work as it was to long, which Brunel defied... So, what did Brunel do? He sketched up a new bridge that was within a foot of the judges' maximum length.
'Geol' is the U.K. and also depreciated spelling of 'jail.'
Black magic was a popular brand of boxes of chocolates.
The New Romantics were pop bands that wore, well, fancy dress.
... and still on sale today (the chocs, not the bands. Well, Duran Duran is still going).
@@anne-louisegoldie Thanks for that Anne-Louise I'll have to keep my eye open for them. Both.
Ringo Starr narrated the Thomas the Tank Engine episodes.
23:18 Victoria wanted to become empress because her daughter, also named Victoria, was about to be crowned as empress of Germany, and mum didn’t want to be outranked by her daughter.
That bridge is too long to not have a support beam? Wait until you see the Goldengate Bridge?
The town of Reading in which is around 30 miles west of London is actually pronounced 'Redding' not 'Reeding'. After his release in 1897 he moved to France and died there in 1900.
Book versus novel?
Easy.
101 things to do with a dead cat is a book, but it most certainly isn't a novel.
Novels have lots of characters and.(hopefully) a plot.
autocorrect his name to cabbage HA
It's a reference to rubbish TV like Britain's Got Talent l, The X Factor, The Voice etc.
They are judges on one of them. Therefore tell you what you should like.
Ironically "Britain's Got Talent," but not on these shows.
Forget the names, just think critics.
A novel is wholly fiction where as a book is any book. This could printed piece that in not wholly paper but has an outer frame and sometimes sleeve. Depending if it is hard or paper back. Though binding does not make it a book.
So what colour do you think blonde hair shows up as in black and white footage?
My pet peeve is the English pronunciation of drawing , as draw-ring , despite ignoring many of the r's sprinkled elsewhere in the language.
I’m from London I say Draw In
A small number of English dialects use it, but you will very rarely hear the word 'drawing' pronounced as anything other than 'drawing' :)
English pronunciation in many accents avoids something called 'hiatus' at any cost. You can't move from one vowel to another without a consonant or an approximant (like 'y' 'w' and 'r') between them. Our double-vowel-sounds like in the words "day" and "high" can even be broken down into a single vowel plus an approximant (day = /de/ + /j/). So a word like "drawing" has to insert a 'linking R sound' to avoid hiatus - to avoid moving straight from the "aw" in the word "drawing" (in many British accents pronounced like the 'o' in the word "or") to the 'i' vowel in a word like 'kit'. So we have to pronounce it as "draw-ring" in order not to break this hiatus rule. It doesn't seem to apply to lots of American accents though. Geoff Lindsey has a great channel about this stuff and this video is a good one talking about that linking-R sound 😄 czcams.com/video/gtnlGH055TA/video.html
@@easterdeer 5 million Scots feel no need whatever to insert the r before the -ing in drawing and I'm thankful for it. I like the warmer sound when Scots speak and pronounce the r at the end of words like doctor and mother too.
I'm from Wales but now live in South England, everyone I know says it as draw ing not draw ring.
But Oliver Twist does have a twist.
Computer? Brilliant question. Abacus, your fingers?
I believe it was originally applied to the mainly female staff at Bletchley Park who did all the computations.
As the brain is electrical it must be an electronic computer.
Personal computer. Mobile.....
Don't bother checking out "Brush Strokes". It's just as bad and as forgettable as it's titles suggest. :)
Reading towm/city is actually pronounced Redding
All novels are books, but not all books are novels. Novels are like a subcategory of books. Along others like textbooks, and artbooks. A blank book with no words in it is still a book, but it's definitely not a novel. Sorry I don't know why I felt to compelled to answer your random question at like 6:10.
David Walliams, Linda Holden, Xfactor/talent thing.
Hi Connor. Whitechapel - where Jack the Ripper killed women - is just East of the City (ie the 'Square Mile' which was once bound by the Roman wall). I was born in Whitechapel hospital - which is also where the 'Elephant Man' lived. No relation, as far as I'm aware.

Yes, an abacus is a “manual” computer, whereas modern computers “compute” using the information input into it. 😉
A link between two persons featured in this video:
The poet Byron's daughter, Ada, Countess of Lovelace, was Charles Babbage's assistant and wrote the first ever computer programs designed for use with his "Analytical Engine" (mechanical computer). A programming language, "Ada", was named after her in the late 20th century.
19:20 nooooo. Cows don't tuen into pigs and vice versa. They have a common predecessor thousnads of years ago. You don't even turn into your own grandparent, so a pig won't turn into a cow.
The difference between a book and a novel is that a novel is always a work of fiction (and usually has a minimum word count) whereas books can also be non-fiction, or contain short stories or poems etc
???????

A novel is a book. A jet is a plane but not all planes are jets.

Think your right. Also the Indian word Maharaja means much the same.
