Today I discovered my (21 year old) colleague at work didn't know who Lord Nelson was! As an Englishmen I was horrified, and will be sharing this series with him.
Farewell and adieu to you history fellas Farewell and adieu to memory lane For I've received orders to cook in the kitchen But I hope in a short while to see you again.
A part of history we never covered at school. I'm fascinated. We all know the names but this explains it with amazing scholastic facts AND huge humour. Should be compulsory for all history students
I remember arguing with a history teacher about the best military leaders of history. He had Napoleon, Nelson and Caesar as his top 3 which seems a fair list!
Ref that opening reading from Dominic's book about Nelson. It sounded very Churchillian to me and I thought it was from Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples.
Another fantastic series....I have no understanding why the cancel culture (Left led) was trying to destroy such a classic hero and your British history... I suppose this is almost an episode in its own right!!
Enjoyable episode as always, but I can't help pointing out Nelson certainly wasn't an expert at fighting scurvy. Sure, he acquired limes but did among other things that did not work. Other captains did this as well of course. And while limes do something, they were largely chosen over more effective lemons because they were cheaper. Other things work even better but we can't really expect that to have been common knowledge at the time
I'm sorry but the admiral who supported his initiative of individual Captain's to understand the objective of the fleet. I have walked out to the edge of Cape St. Vincent to see how it influenced the naval warfare of the British empire! The very southwest tip of european mainland. The one place you know all ships exiting the Mediterranean have to pass to go north

American listener here and it cracks me up every time Dominic calls us Tax dodgers or the American colonies I love his commitment to his patriotism
I assume that he thinks you may see the error of your ways one day 😁
Well that is exactly what your glorious revolution was to us brits a very successful tax dodge by rich land owning slavers
@ understandable, they felt they weren’t being represented in parliament
@@R08Tam I too would of dodge those taxes 🦅🇺🇸

Very informative and entertaining
Farewell and adieu to you history fellas

I found your channel quite recently and I'm hooked. Keep up the great efforts Gents
Thank you !
Dominic's delight at being compared to Jervis warmed the heart.
Naval heroes are all well and good but when are we getting the episode about Chatham high street??
Thank you to you both for your engaging and enlightening videos.
Sad news about the bullocks though.

0:30 Tom: "...savage people bent on slaughter..."
Dominic: 😂😂😂😂
he's not talking about Curtis LeMay again is he? He was always careful to slaughter the fewest civilians possible...
My sister lives in Brittany and every time I sail out of Portsmouth on my way to visit her, as I pass Victory I feel a rush of pride

Who were you advocating for at the time?
Wonderful, as ever. Thank you.
The French revolution series was excellent stuff and funny. Well done chaps.
Ref that opening reading from Dominic's book about Nelson. It sounded very Churchillian to me and I thought it was from Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples.
Fantastic stuff fellas.
Bring the roadshow to Palmerston Ontario Canada!
Someday, we'll look back on current events with a bit of humor, compassion, and clarity...meanwhile, we have the Rest is History.
Outstanding, gents.
Of all of the ways to describe Emma Hamilton, how can ‘loyal’ POSSIBLY be one of them?!
All a background to the legend of Horatio Hornblower.
"Brave dies once a coward dies a thousand times" is Shapespeare from Julius Ceaser
Does the youtube membership give access to full series?
Bangers and mash. Excellent episodes. Top form
I don't drink alcohol, but every time I hear "brilliant!" I think I should take a shot. :D
So I assume Tom will be doing the narration on Dom's book? Lol
Love your show. AFAIK victuals is pronounced vittles ;-)
And tongue-in-cheek is pronounced tongue in cheek.

It's Wittles.

Hurrah!

Tom's ecstacy whilst reading about slaughter is quite terrible.
Why does the video play in French wtf
Another English rebellion against their French masters ...
I do get bored with the ultra nationalist hate of France. Not all of the UK shares that view.
Go and live there then. Nothing of value will have been lost...
Waiting for Epic History’s Trafalgar documentary, the rest is history swoops in to provide me with my Nelsonic fix 🫡
