- History Today Pt. II
- {fon:tri}
-
- Good evening. Once again, I'm joined by Professor F.J.Lewis, Emeritus
- Professor of History at All Souls College Oxford. I understand that
- some viewers felt that last week we rather skated over the topic of
- Great Britain 1931-1938 "The Austerity Years." I can only offer my
- apologies and pledge that Professor Lewis and myself shall make every
- endeavour to fully explore tonight's topic of conversation, the 1905
- Sebastapol Uprising. Professor Lewis, do you feel as many do that
- that Sebastapol was indeed the birthplace of the Russian Revolution ?
-
- See people who talk like this ? [Quacking noises] That's you that is.
- That's you talking your best.
-
- I see. You see girls who run like this ? That's you that is. That's
- how you run.
-
- See your bike ? It's a girl's bike.
-
- I do not own a bicycle.
-
- You do, and it's a girl's bike.
-
- Well, I'd just like to...
-
- It's for girls.
-
- You see those workman's tents in the road ?
-
- I have observed them.
-
- That's your house. That's where you go on holiday.
-
- See this ? This is my drink. You can't have none. Mmmm... yum yum
- tasty.
-
- Oh, I've just remembered...
-
- Sorry, I'm busy drinking my drink.
-
- Your dad phoned me up the other day.
-
- My father ? What did he say ?
-
- [Quacking noises]
-
- La la la la ! Can't hear you ! Speak louder ! La la lalala.
-
- Professor Lewis, if we might return to the matter in hand.
-
- Yes.
-
- I have here a copy of your book "Origins of the Crimean War." Poo !
- Euuhhh... Poo ! It smells of poo !
-
- That's because it's been inside your mum's bra.
-
- Well, it would appear that the Sebastapol question is one that will
- continue to cause heated debate between historians. Professor Lewis,
- thank you very much.
-
- Thank you.
