No they wouldn't have been. This was the 19th century, by which time printing presses had been common for hundreds of years. Most middle-class families in England of this time period would've had a shelf or two full of books, and even the poor would own a few. There was no TV or radio at the time, so books were their version of popular entertainment. Books like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "David Copperfield" sold hundreds of thousands of copies within a decade of their release.
@@fakenamerson1693 it depends on the type of book. While the printing press did exist, not all of them were widely available. Science books were particularly valuable, as the average person didn't understand a whole lot about science, which is why there was less incentive for mass production. Even today books like medical atlases are insanely expensive
@@fakenamerson1693 yeah, that maybe be, but considering those books are a prize for such discovery they may be worth more than your common book ¿right?
This is the 19th century. Books were quite common at this point, and even the working classes were literate. You're thinking of 500 years earlier when a big stack of books would've been seen as an expensive treasure.
If I had a nickel for every time a character played by David Tenant met Queen Victoria I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Now that I rewatch this scene as an adult: these encyclopedias were probably worth their weight in gold during that time period

A stack of books like that in that time era would've been worth their weight in silver.
I thought about that too, a wealthy collector could send him off with enough pents for 2 more ships
You know, I know nothing about this time in history, and even I kinda figured those books would've been worth much.
By 1830 printing press where in every city

Which is why I said it was worth it's weight in silver not gold.

Those encyclopedias are worth their weight in encyclopedias.
3:17 I love that part.
"He's no scientist, he's a girl scout!"
"He's no girl scout, he's a pirate!"
"He's no pirate, he's a naturist!"
“He’s no naturist, he’s Hugh Grant!”
Those weights were probably worth their silver in encyclopedias
I have to say I love that disguise expose scene from Girl Scout to pirate as they say it
This would blow their covers/disguises
If I had a nickel for every time a character played by David Tenant met Queen Victoria I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
Those encyclopedias are worth their weight in depleted uranium back in the day
That guys who was sharpening his axe hurt my ears
How he hadn't spoken a word
Could be sharp, deadly and uncomfortable that can go for overkill

I just hear David tennant I love this xd
Goated movie. Pretty sure every 2000s brit grew up on it!
3:18 why does the middle gentlemen looks like charles darwin maybe his father i think ?
Is he his older brother?
I’m absolutely terrified of dodos this movie traumatised me as a kid 😅
What?????
@@r2brandao360 yes I know 😭😭😭😭😭
Let me guess; the part where she bites Victoria?
@@Epic11705 oh no I’m absolutely terrified of dodos in generale but when it did that gave my nightmares
@@DeclanPistrin-to8lmAnd this fear of dodos was something you had before viewing this movie?
Rewatching this scene, those encyclopedias are probably worth their weight in platinum back then
That is... a suspiciously shaped bustle...
It was the fashion of the time I believe, it would be a frame that makes that shape not her actual butt
Those books are very heavy...gold
I would have found myself thoroughly jubilant upon the reception of a compendium of encyclopedic volumes
Honestly even if I didn’t sell those encyclopedias they look nice in general to have
“Blah blah encyclopedias, blah blah gold.”
Hes not scientist hes a girl scout hes not girl scout hes a PIRATE ❤❤❤😂😂😂

She look good
A stack of books like that in that time era would've been worth their weight in... Alluminium. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can imagine the other world leaders trying not to make fun of Victoria's backside
They were really ready to execute someone here lol.
4:48 Executioner destroyed his own axe, as if quitting his old job and getting a new one "That's it, I'm taking a new job as a cleanup janitor"
0:16
I have always wonder why she decided to spare him?
He’s no scientist he’s a Girl Scout, he’s no Girl Scout he’s a pirate 😂 but isn’t it girl guide ? Why is this version Girl Scout ?
Pandering for americans, guides are called scouts in the U.S.
@@DavidSternburgYt ah I just watched the British version recently. That’s why there were so many more raunchy jokes than I remembered lol
Their disguises are blown
Cute
then he made a big mistake.
