You mean that One Million Years B.C. wasn't a documentary?

I'm waiting for the telegraph to find a way to blame this on private schools having to pay VAT.

I think all Trump knows of US history he got from James Ellroy novels

I'm hoping to still be alive in 50 years time for the inevitable darkly comedic historical sitcom parodying the Trump years.

Recently someone posted a long ranty essay on a Blackadder Facebook fan group (randomly pushed to my feed) about how Blackadder plagiarised several historians books and how he was working to get the writers prosecuted. The astronomical level of anger this dude had about it was pretty startling.

I remember seeing that and going ‘yeah well, the descendants of the rich generals WOULD decry Blackadder for making them look bad…’
