Her name is Diane Morgan btw. Having an “airhead” interviewing all these historians and trying to make them crack was such an awesome idea. I think her content is such a good way to get more people into learning about stuff they normally wouldn’t seek out
I would not show anything to your students in school. You could be opening yourself to lawsuits or jail time in today's America of uneducating the children movement the GOP is waging. Especially if you are in Florida or Texas.
@@MrTerry 2:05 - is Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley's husband - an apt transition from shells (in the previous clip) to Shelley. 13:15 - back in March 2021, the Suez canal got blocked up for a bit due to a ship getting wedged - the canal accounts for 12% of global trade so not a huge percentage as was stated in the video and even though 12% doesn't sound a lot, this is trade for the entire planet; Egypt's population accounts for 1.25% of the world population - for the few that do not know, without the Suez Canal, ships would have to go around Africa to get to Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. (I got the percentage from BBC's article: "Egypt's Suez Canal blocked by huge container ship")
When Diane auditioned for Philamena they wanted her to speak with a posh accent, Diane said “It would be better is I used my own accent” And there you have it, a Little Hulton accent (between Bolton and Salford) on TV, someone who speaks proper like I does.
@@portaldolphin13 Very similar to Bolton, but not full on like say Peter Kay. She is from Farnworth which is next to Little Hulton which is part of Salford, so it is a hybrid Salford / Bolton accent which may sound like,a Bolton accent to someone from over 25 miles away but a local can distinguish between. The reason I said “Speaks proper just like I does” is because I was born in Salford but moved to Leigh,at own midway between Bolton and Wigan when about 10 years old . 50 odd years ago we could tell which street / housing estate someone was from by their accent let alone which town
Robert Peston (the first guy) is a serious political correspondent over here. Seeing him trying not to laugh is great as he rarely cracks a smile in reality.
Also Diane Morgan, the actress who plays Philomena said that it wasn't always fun when the experts broke into laughter, because it meant you had to shoot the sequence again.
I love every time she interviews Prof. Ashley Jackson, because he does seem fun enough not to take it too seriously but he has a general vibe of seriousness about him already that it makes it even funnier.
See how she slightly changes the names of a lot of the historical figures? Emmerdale Pankhurst - Emmerdale is the name of a very long running TV soap opera in the UK, (used to be Emmerdale Farm), and the Suffragette woman's name was Emmeline. Colombo is another one she refers to in a different clip 😂💛
I love the ones where the professor slowly realises it's a set up and then joins in - the Sea Shells guy is one, he really gets on board when he realises
I definitely recommend watching the original stuff she's in at some point, rather than compilations. Don't get me wrong, I love the compilations, but sometimes I think it messes with the timing and beats of the humour. If you're willing to react to longer format stuff, any of the Cunk On... specials/series are great (I think so far there's been Cunk on Britain, Shakespeare, Christmas and Earth. All have plenty of focus on history), but for shorter videos there's her Moments of Wonder series which I think all clock in around 5 minutes.
I am pretty sure they were talking about poet Percy Shelley. One of my favorites is the interview about King Arthur and when she's talking with some art historians about Da Vinci and Botticelli. She mimics another great British video historian, James Burke who did a series back in the late 70's called Connections with a follow up called the Day the Universe Changed.
I loved both those James Burke programs. There was one in a similar vein called The Day the World Took Off from 2004 where they traced the roots of the Industrial Revolution to discoveries made thousands of years earlier.
The writer is Charlie Brooker. He's the guy who does Black Mirror. The skit itself comes from News Wipe; her and Barry Shitpeas are two average Joe's used to give an everyman perspective on world events.
Have you seen horrible histories? Learnt more from that show than the 9 years of compulsory history lessons. I got my 9 year old cousin on it during covid lockdown, so I they didn’t get told off for watching tv when they should have been doing their school work, the following Christmas all she wanted was history books, and a trips to museums!
OMG her videos are absolutely hilarious and should be kept as far away from an actual history class as possible. Maybe if you assign the students to make a list of all the things she gets wrong lol.
She should absolutely be shown in school and given an assignment to fact check. The things some people believe because is said in a realistic tone is incredulous
I disagree! If a teacher has enough self confidence - they really should use her stuff. Asking stupid questions, that are actually quite profound, asking stupid questions that say more about the interviewee than intended - or just stupid questions cos its funny and make stuff more interesting Asking stupid questions isn't a bad thing
Definitely something to show in classes for a bit of fun & to keep things interesting, playing on the "wait, no actually" instinct for the obvious errors. My favourite bits are the "okay, that's not technically wrong" moments - one that's stuck in my head particularly are explanations of the 2 main dinosaur groups, "the side to side ones that eat plants & the up & down ones that eat the side to side ones"
you should totally show her to your students! idk their ages but her making quick and witty light hearted jokes are perfect for kids. getting their interest sparked in history is important
If he is he should be sure to go through and sensor any swearing (not much in it, but parents could moan) or get permission from parents to show it uncensored. I'd presume sensoring about 3 words would be easier than getting back 30 odd permission slips.
I loved that intro sequence of hers “… along the way I’ll be shouting at helicopters…” and “ I’ll start a sentence in one location…and finish it someplace else!” Hilarious! Edit: I guess I should have expected it to show up later. Also I had totally forgotten the voiceover one where it looks like she’s thinking in her head!
1:20 That's Howard Goodall. Composer for many of the best British comedies such as Red Dwarf, Mr Bean, Vicar of Dibley, Not The Nine O'Clock News, and the greatest historical comedy, Blackadder.
It's actually kinda genius how she asks seemingly stupid questions but that then puts the experts in a position to backtrack and explain it fully in a way she's acting as the average Joe Sat at home watching and asking the questions nobody else would ask because they're seemingly stupid
They filmed one of these series in lockdown. And she goes to all these places like you see, and in the last episode they reveal it was all camera tricks and cgi, cos we are locked down so she couldn't visit the sites.
Yeah, Jack The Ripper being alive today would be really scary. Considering his first crime was in 1888. If he was twenty at the time, he would be 155 right now.
@@fukpantsgiggledick7084 Yes I know. If I am not mistaken, the reason I wrote that was that it seemed MrTerry had not understood the joke at first, then I paused and wrote the comment. But soon after he talked about it. But then I had already posted.
The British Gas building shot (from the 1970s / 80s privatisation) is interesting. It stood at the north end of Vauxhall Bridge in London, and was quite full of asbestos. We removed some of it (not a lot) when a couple of the floors etc were refurbished. BG moved out I think mid 1990s and a Govt Department moved in (I forget which) , they had not checked the asbestos register and fairly shortly afterwards had a disrupted tenancy while more floors of ceiling panels. wall panels, ducts and goodness knows what were cleared out. I has since been demolished and some new massive edifice put in its place, pity really as the small gardens on the north side of the thames as the embankment road comes out of Pimlico was a nice place to sit on a sunny afternoon and was very 1970s London.
Thanks for this Mr. Terry. Although I live in Wales I can't say I've seen Philomena before - I don't watch BBC anymore - but I've obviously missed something here, she's absolutely hilarious. If you like this you may like the book '1066 And All That' by Sellars & Yeatman. Written in the 1930s by 2 history teachers it's a hilarious romp through British history - I thoroughly recommend it.
The building at 10:24 was once known as Bedlam and was a lunatic asylum. But that role has now been transferred to the Houses of Parliament on the Thames. This building is now the Imperial War Museum London HQ and the two guns are 15" guns from a British Battleship about the only thing from a British Battleship that has survived. They're from HMS Ramillies. Inside the building is a whole history on how we make things go BANG!
You really ought to watch the full episodes - they are hilarious - instead of just watching these out of context clips. The Elvis episode really cracked me up 😂
I think space travel came after television, given the Vostock 1 take off was broadcast in the Soviet Union, after Gegarin had safely returned to earth, and Gegarin gave a TV interview after his flight and he gave broadcast lectures after his flight.
8:20 After a long and thorough examination of my birth certificate, my attorneys, physician, and parents reached a joint conclusion that I am in fact, NOT “Jack the Ripper”. 😮💨
You’ve seen a bit from most of the episodes now, but I do still recommend you do a compiled reaction to her segments from Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe. Each one is around 3 minutes- usually less, and cover various topics as a whole rather than just getting the clips. If you want a more specific recommendation, her Moments of Wonder on Evolution is brilliant (although you have already seen a few of the jokes).
First Television broadcast was 9/11/1928, so prior to the V2 rocket developed in Germany. The space race really began after WWII, when Werner Von Braun (who developed the V2) was brought to the US, and continued development on rockets for both space travel and defense.
You seem such a wonderful history teacher, you seem so down to earth with a sense of humour (something a lot of teachers lack!) Bet your students love your classes. History was always my favourite subject, I never had many friends at high school so my history teacher and I would eat lunch together and talk about historical events. Sounds geeky but even 20 years later, I wouldn't change it for the world! She really encouraged me to do valuable historical research into my own family as the majority were murdered during the Holocaust and I made amazing discoveries, something that still fascinates me to this day as I continue to make discoveries.
Look at Blackadder. Historical sitcom with each season set in a different era. Stone cold comedy classic and much beloved by Brits. Stars Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean), Stephen Fry and High Laurie.
Agreed. Also you'd see how perfectly it matches the style and tone of every BBC documentary series ever. But it keeps you on your toes because the content is sometimes true, sometimes a little false, sometimes nonsense, and sometimes so off-base that it turns out to be profound!
"On Britain" is even better than the more recent "On Earth" show, IMO. Well worth reacting to an actual episode, rather than just a best-of clips video.
Yes, I was looking forward to the Netflix show, but after having seen most of her previous stuff in that format, “On Earth” felt sort of tired to me. Probably fun for new viewers though!
It seems that we British make funny, sarcastic History programs on a regular basis . Rowan Atkinson and Stephen Fry are wonderful in the Balackadder series, season 1 was poor but they got and better so that the final programme is still a much remembered and talked about programme. The Horrible History team are hilarious. David Mitchell in Upstart Crow about Shakespeare will have you howling with laughter if you know about Shakespeare’s life. For WW2 enthusiasts try Hello Hello about the adventures of the French Resistance and their interactions with the British sent over to help them and the invading Germans. The characters there are so memorable and individually funny it really will have you howling .
Philomena indirectly points out that Mr. Terry could be Jack The Ripper, and Mr. Terry changes his channel pic for the first time in years. Something's fishy.
I think they got some rather good material with Howard Goodall (the music expert) because he composed music for Mr. Bean and therefore was likely easier to interview as he already was familiar with absurd comedy.
Female history major here! Im kinda a war buff but Im very interested in how the war affected those at home. For example, how the women adapted in WWII with family and economic challenges. Not sure that counts haha
You should totally use this in class. Each "Cunk On ..." episode is generally around 30 minutes. Perhaps it goes without saying, but I will: Make sure you get copyright clearance. It may be stupid, but some people these days can get ridiculously lawsuit-happy.
Fun fact about the Sherlock Holmes bit at 3:30... One of them actually is an alien, the Cricketer right before Benedict Cumberbatchs Sherlock is the the 5th Doctor from Doctor Who.
Check out this Philomena reaction next! ruclips.net/video/7yQAv_6bxkA/видео.html

Jack the Ripper's name probably wasn't actually Jack either - ooh, shocker! 😮
@@gary.h.turnerso you are saying one of them probably was Jack the Ripper?
@@jsbrads1 Well, you never can tell! 😏🤔
You can show it to your students and make it a fun quiz to see how many things she gets wrong.
Good idea!
They will probably never notice, nor get the puns and implicit jokes 😂

Hi, the first television broadcast was from Alexandra Palace, London Jan 1926 long before the space race.

Emily Pankhurst became Emmerdale Pankhurst: Emmerdale is the name of a soap opera on ITV in the UK.
King Arthur came a lot
"We will fight them bitches".
@tecdessus Hmm. I don't think so? I was only somewhat paying attention, having already seen every episode of Cunk.
Standing in front of (probably?) Babbage's Difference Engine: 'It must have some games'.
Mr Terry, you mentioned the Space Race. Did they just limit it to a running or did they have a hurdles and baton Space Race as well?
Maybe they were just running out of space
Yes, both are included in the Space Race

You should be showing the children in your classroom the series called horrible history.... Brilliant and educational..... 👍🏴
After watching the last one I went on a binge and watched everything I could find of her, too funny!
It’s an entertaining way of providing snippets of historical information that offers an icebreaker into teaching about an event.
She is brilliant in After Life 1-3 series by Ricky Gervais.

Keep doing Philomena and I'll subscribe if you keep doing these, she is SO SO funny
The sherlock holmes joke was the “cricketer” is the Doctor from Dr who (an alien)
