History Today 2 - 1905 Sebastapol Uprising
------------------------------------------
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 Britian 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.
