Mark Lawson trying to keep a straight face, haha. You can see the tears in his eyes, he's half a second away from cracking up every time.
I love the way the experts work so hard at not breaking character. As an American, it reminds me a lot of what Stephen Colbert used to do.
Quotes like "King Edward had abdicated so he could spend more time in his mistress" are what makes this so brilliant
"A bit like Boris Johnson"... The irony is hurtful at this point.
This series makes me proud to be a Brit. That perfect blend of British humour which is poignant yet doesn't mind mocking every part of its poignancy by turning it into pure farce.

You don't have much going for you, do you? Diane Morgan creates a ficticious character, and that makes you "proud to be a Brit". WHY? Humour is humour everywhere, it is not limited to this poxed island.

@@Demun1649 You just don't get it do you? The British have always had the ability to laugh at themselves..... And then along came another group that failed to grasp that simple premise and cried "Foul" & even worse...."Racism".... Totally missing the point that the British have done this for centuries.... Came here, but totally, and utterly FAILED to integrate. Interesting that you call Britain a "poxed island".... Fair description these days, but.... Ever paused to consider how it got that that way?

@@patagualianmostly7437 Answer your own last question, might do some good. FIRST, When you use the term "British" how far back in history are you going? SECOND, Do you think that the two Polish men, killed on their own doorsteps by Anglo-Saxon mongrels, think it was just a joke and a laugh. THIRD, This country was ruined way back in the period between 400-600 when the Angles, Saxe and Jutes invaded us from Germany. FOURTH, I have experienced RACISM from the bloody English since I was six years old. White, born and educated in England, but still a foreigner to the racist ENGLISH MONGRELS, and abused my whole life. FIFTH, Call out YOUR own side, and ask THEM your last question.

@JZ's BFF We have a rather unique ability to laugh at ourselves. We never take criticism seriously at any level.... we can laugh at our detracters...& laugh along with them. Something newer arrivals fail to grasp....and would wish to condemn us for. Duck 'em I say, Duck the Duckers.

I have a customer that comes to my store in Montreal, she was in the Royal Ballet during The Blitz. They were instrumental(as was the music) in helping people cope with the harrowing experience. She said that whenever the sirens went off as they were preforming, everybody would shhh them and the performers just kept going and help the crowd enjoy what could be their last moment. I'm transferring stores this week. Going to miss her.
Not smiling and being permanently tired. I'm dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Britons are World Re known for having "A Stiff Upper Lip". What is truly astounding is: the highly educated scholars and historians in this series never even flinch, scratch their heads or roll their eyes at the questions.
"Or NHS for less long" made me laugh, it's brilliant when you think about it.
This is an EXTREMELY refreshing series. Let’s all sit back and have a laugh. God knows we need it! I think Diane Morgan is hysterical! How she says those things and keeps a straight face…..I haven’t laughed this hard in ages. British tv is so much better than American in my opinion and experience.

That bloke who's the military historian should know better, they called the Germans Fritz as it was a staple name in Germany but the reason the Brits called themselves Tommies was because of the example name on the sign up sheet, Tommy Atkins
