Another private school girl repays daddy's fees.

I’m loving the images of Philadelphia back in the 60s. I miss Philadelphia from the 70s to 90s. I would go late at night on weekends and weekdays. You could park on Jewelry Row or Samson Street, walk a few blocks, steam coming through the manhole covers, not another person except in the shadows, to Woodys which was packed with people, dancing and drinking. It was good times. The number of truly unique people who trekked to this place was worthy of a photo book. Today, having gone back recently I was amazed how every empty and abandoned building and lot has been filled with some business or bar. Young people everywhere, all wanting to look the same. Are they even Manchurian voters? Probably not. November 13, 2024.

I took the train from NYC to Newark NJ 5 days a week for years. I know those scenes, especially the Pulaski, although today it’s cleaner and more structures exist.

Seti's sarcophagus should be with him.

Another climate bs artist.

Congrats sir. I wish you all the best in your career. Take care, DA

Excellent explanation, Philip :)

Ian Hislop is brilliant, I have to much respect for him. I am a firm believer he should be considered an International Treasure, as an American it feels so good to watch someone so much more rational than the talking heads in my own country. Thank you sir, you have been therapy for me on more than one occasion!

How Appropriate was a funny one but good, we will all be dead soon ;-) XxX

i love the giving out of ideas and passing on of skills thing X

The word guessing seems very bleak to me. Then again it could mean anything. X

just make a copy of everything and put it in every town ;-) Whatever, what a load of crap. Just look at everything that you can or want to. Nothing is any better than anything else unless you want it to be or someone someone you respect tells you it be. Art, Fart, Eat one pie, Live then die, wake up and fly.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Soane Museum. Thank you for this conservation video of the beautiful work in restoration of the frame.

❤❤😂🎉 0:15

I lived in Chiswick for a while and would visit Hogarth’s house and his grave.

This is a terrific video. Thanks. I think elections are to be celebrated in their own right. Shame about today's choices tho 😂

Ian Hislop is perhaps the closest thing we have these days to Hogarth himself.. 🌟👍

Always interesting to listen to 🎉😊

What was rational in 1680, when it could take weeks to reach the far corners of the Kingdom, so they needed representation, no longer is. Why does some heritage monarch have the authority to decide what's good for the Nation? OK, it's ceremonial, but now we have the possibility of online ratification by the electorate, why aren't we using it? I never thought I'd accuse Hislop of extreme Conservatism, but that's what he's become in his dotage, change-resistant.

Politicians gambling whilst the country crashes? Bah - that could never happen these days!

I think it's pretty asinine and trite to look at the past and say "nothing ever changes". Everything always changes.

The drivers playing cards and gambling. Where have I heard that recently?

Lovely to have Ian comment on Hogath's legendary satirical works!

An old one-panel cartoon had Diogenes out and about in his legendary quest with lantern held aloft and now confronting the honest man for whom he'd long been searching. Having found the fellow at long last, Diogenes simply says: "I was hoping you'd be taller."

Gambling during an election?

is this from a longer programme or series? surely

Thank you

The Soane museum is an absolute delight and to see the Hogarth Election piece in person is a fantastic experience.

Why have you added subtitles when theres an option on youtube to do this??

There's noone id rather have in charge of the country than this man

Great video, but I would have loved better lighting on the paintings. Sadly, the camera did not stay long on the images referred to by Ian, so I could not follow them quickly enough. A longer presentation would have been better. I can't get enough of Ian! (Signed) Grumpy Old Man of Wantage.

I would love to see Ian Hislop make a whole series on historical satire as expressed through fine art, like Hogarth here, and by the cartoonists of Hogarth’s era. Perhaps he could compare British satire to that of other countries of the day and various other historical periods? He could interview Mary Beard, Melvin Bragg and the like? He’s the perfect chap for the job.

Brilliant take on things. :)

Dickens's description of the electoral shenanigans in 'The Pickwick Papers' is essential reading

Ian Hislop is completely first class….fabulously erudite and deliciously urbane.

Love this. Small tip for your subtitles: put a black outline around the letters so they're still legible on light areas of the image.

National treasures. Including Ian. 🥰

Not only are the driver's of Britannia's coach gambling, but they are cheating too - plus ça change...

personal opinion only. you cannot go wrong if you Have Mr Hislop analyze, almost anything.

Ian is such a delightful chap. Loved his analysis of these clever paintings.

You bastardized the Churchill quote, but I loved exploring the paintings. Thank you for posting, DA

Pigs over the bridge, eh?

Nothing has changed then ;)

I cannot imagine how furious Sir Soane is.

👍👍

Great achievement..

fortunate that the crafting skills continue to be practiced
