So, 240p. We finally meet again.
Scodouk hello 2005.

Dr Brown, I really enjoyed this video!!! Watched it twice! Thank You for posting
+Verna Selander Thank you, Verna! I hope you can find other interesting films on my channel. Regards, Alan.
Thank you Dr Brown!!!!
Gladstone allowed a land reform act allowing Catholic Irish aka native Irish to buy land, which they were forbidden since the enactment of the Penal Laws.
I think u need to check your facts
I mean there were of a number of Land Acts, more or less to this end, some of which were backed by Gladstone. It's not the whole story but he's not wrong
The idea that Roman Catholics were unable to buy law because of the "Penal Laws" in the 19th century is a travesty of history - complete historical illiteracy - and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the purposes of the Land Acts.
The Penal Laws, whose primary purpose was to prevent RCs holding offices, were repealed between 1771 and 1793, almost 80 years before Gladstone set about land reform. The purposes of the Land Acts were to fix rental values, fix terms of tenure and to encourage a subsidised transfer of land ownership from landlords to their tenantry.
It's beyond belief that anyone would think RCs couldn't buy land in Ireland! The level of ignorance people have about Irish history never ceases to astound me.

Absolutely fabulous documentary.
So very informative.
So enjoy watching it and learning about the Clash of the Titans.
Also appreciated the movie with Trevor Howard as Disraeli.
Queen Victoria so young and how very intelligent who had lost the love of her life Dear Prince Albert. 💙
Excellent. Balanced and informative. I knew they were keen rivals but I did not realise they literally hated each other.
There is so much information to digest from this documentary..also I really enjoy the very intelligent comments.
Alan, this video wasa pleasure to watch, thank you for posting it. I am an avid reader of British politics and particularly that of the Victorian Era. Two excellent books have been written on the rivalry between Gladstone and Disraeli: "The Lion and the Unicorn -- Gladstone vs. Disraeli," by Richard Aldous, and "The Great Rivalry -- Gladstone & Disraeli: A Dual Biography" by Dick Leonard.
An interesting insight unto the personal opinion William Gladston had on Disraeli was expressed by Gladston in his personal diary, on the day he heard of the the news of the death of his political rival. He wrote: "It is a telling, touching event, there is no more extraordinary man surviving him in England, perhaps none in Europe. I must not say much, in the presence as it were of his Urn."
But which is which? I have spent hours online trying to search up who the lion is and who the unicorn is.
@@BoraCM
Gladstone certainly looks more like a lion
They loathed each other and yet their names will be tied to each other for eternity how strange life is in the big picture.
@matthewabney3889,
Like Queens' Elizabeth and Mary, who are "entombed" at Westminster Abbey, within close proximity to one another.
amazing doc....thank you. quite good things to be found on yt. unfortunate more folks don't take advantage of it.
great documentary,great presenter .
Remember studied both men a little bit 20 years ago at university
Glad to know you had a nice time here, I will check out for the book, thanx again!
I had forgotten about Disraeli's revolt against PM Peel, and how huge it was. It reminds me of Francis Urquhart's (BBC's "House of Cards") clandestine revolt against his PM, it seems that this (Disraeli vs. Peel) was an inspiration for that story, in part. I understand it was largely based on Richard III, however.
But! Art imitates life imitates art!
You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment
Thank you for this excellent video!
+Francesca Sakellaridi Thank you, Francesca, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
"You don't even know who I am"
-Benjamin Disraeli
My childhood home in Bargoed, Wales was named after him, " Gladstone Villa".
Victoria loved Disraeli much better---he was charming and flattering. She didn't care for Gladstone who she considered coarse. Both men were very effective statesmen in their own way..
"He addresses me as if I were a Public Meeting..."
very interesting documentary ; I studied the period for A level but from an Economic and Social perspective . obviously heard of these two but did not realise they dominated Politics for most of Victorias reign . They began some social reform but you need to get to Lloydd George for the first real reforms just proir to WW1 pensions in 1909 and education for all children under the age of 13 . I suppose the focus of this documentary is political so they wouldn't go into subjects like child labour such a big issue in the 1840s . You do get the sense though of Gladstone especilally changing and developing as he got older and perhaps wiser ; considering his championing of slavery and being against sufferage for the working class male ; in his College days .Of course womens rights were not even considered at this time . No mention was made of his supposed opiate addiction but of course it wasnot illegal at this time . It may have taken at least another 2 episodes to cover all these topics .
Gladstone was a Christian of the era who wanted to rescue and reform prostitutes, he never engaged their services and he was often out with his wife to try to talk prostitutes into giving up their lives and come back with them to their home to work on finding a respectable profession. When you cast someone to play the position of Gladstone and you show him chopping down a tree perhaps find someone who knows how to actually swing an axe and strike a tree with it. A member of the press who want to sensationalize everything suggesting the press would have had a field day with Gladstone's attempt to help to reform prostitutes showed the jaded mind of a reporter so use to phone tapping and other forms of gotcha "journalism" that turns people off.
Great documentary.
Desrail was first to say 1857 revolt as a great indian national revolution against the British rule.
thanks again
Thank you
I don’t understand politics. But I believe I can see CORRUPTION. Such mixed messages.
Hi 👋 cutie
The reference to Gladstone getting away with his "exploits" with prostitutes simply because was classed as a gentleman reminds me of Mandy Rice Davies in court over the Profumo Affair. Profumos' lawyer said to Davies, "You do realise Lord Astor denies your allegations". Mandy, as quick as a flash replied, "Well, he would, wouldn't he"
When you watch this (and read about 19th century politics in general), you realise how boring and incompetent our politicians are these days.
+Andrew Finn You have a point, Andrew. I think we can take it as a given that ALL politicians in whatever century one cares to pick are, in the main, self-serving individuals. However, the modern crew seem to be far more interested in retaining power for its own sake rather than advancing the interests of their nation states.
+Dr Alan Brown What I have noticed from my extensive reading and research is that *most* Prime Ministers from Walpole to Churchill have been patriotic statesmen, who put the interests of their country first whilst making our country influential on the world stage (probably easier then because we were a Super Power for 100 years, but still...).
All this changed after the Suez Crisis, and it's got the stage now where you could be forgiven for thinking that recent governments have just been puppets for the EU (and militarily the USA). We have little influence in the world, despite having a good platform from which to exert some (i.e. the Commonwealth). This post colonialism era need not be so depressing.
I'm not for one minute suggesting that *all* Prime Ministers (or politicians in general) in the 19th century were competent... but at least they loved their country and did what they thought was right for its people. Nowadays, you don't get that, and you certainly don't get political rivalries on a par with Gladstone v Disraeli, if at all.
Andrew Finn Excellent comment, Andrew, thank you. I think James Freeman Clarke (1810-1888) summarised this most succinctly when he said "A politician thinks of the next election, but a statesman thinks of the next generation." The date alone makes this a truism, I think.

I would like to find out how that story in Corfu ended, I will be glad to check your new page!
+Francesca Sakellaridi Hi Francesca. There is a book entitled _The British and the Hellenes, 1850-1960_ which might interest you. I see you have the good fortune to live on the delightful island of Rodos. We spent a very pleasant time there last summer; wonderful weather, lovely people, beautiful place. Thanks for your comment - regards, Alan.

Hehe nice one :-)
It seems the Host and others don't give Disralei much credit despite evidence of his novels: (Paraphrase) is social reforms were solely motivated by political necessity...Wow....really? Hate Tories much?
And now you know who he is.
To fireson two down, See 'The People of the Abyss' by Jack London that inspired George Orwell's 'Down and Out' and is the better book. Look to the vile class system that still bedevils England today.for a fair bit of the reason for that poverty though other systemic problems also sit in the mix. Peter L Dollins.
1:02:41 - 1:03:16 radiates chaotic energy
Good work by Huw Edwards
In my own view, I don't believe Britain *EVER* had a *truly great* Prime Minister in ALL the history of that country. Australia can at least claim *ONE* great PM in *John Curtin!*
Clement Attlee?
@@voxinabox2422 No!
i guess gladstone found that blackmailer work, lel

i am maried to a family and i wonder if he gladstone is related to us .as we spell it same as it said and i like to know wheree he burried and what family he had and if thereb are any family left from this man
Lauren Gladstone I don't mean to be mean but I doubt he is with spelling and grammar like that.
thats his grt grandson in the library showing the family photoes, family came from liverpool,buried in westminster abbey.
Hello 👋
Yeah, but Thatcher herself challenged Heath for leadership of the CP and won, so I don't see why the narrator would claim that a leadership challenge in the CP equals political death.
He means 'political death' for the person being challenged, not the challenger.
Thanks for clarifying -- I must have just heard it completely wrong.
Shoulders of giants
No man will treat with indifference the principle of race. It is the key to history and why history is so often confused is that it has been written by men who were ignorant of this principle and all the knowledge it involves… Language and religion do not make a race-there is only one thing which makes a race, and that is blood. [pages 249-250]
Not going to lie there is a chance I am biased because I work at Hughenden Manor (the home of Disraeli) and know a lot about him and his life and his house, but I will note my thoughts throughout. Here we go.
Gladstone was a rat
Disraeli is a legend
KING BENJAMIN
Yaaaas that’s the man
(Oh yeah don’t expect these to be highbrow)
We have an exhibition about Disraeli as a Jew come on down
Listen Gladstone, Disraeli is brilliant
Yes it’s Hughenden!!! I work tHERE!!! I have used a paintbrush to dust pretty much everything you see in that room although it’s slightly different now!
What an OTP I’m calling in Marjamin
YAAAAAAA HUGHENDEN ITS SO PRETTY I WORK THOSE THISE ROOMS!!!!
Omg the library is my favourite room there
That’s right Dizzy you go get that revenge
Lol, well Disraeli is well served by a passionate advocate at his home! That's awesome! 👍
Wow for working in a Museum you are incredibly silly and dumb...
Philip Jung no, I got a series of excellent GCSE’s and I am predicted brilliant A-Levels. But I adore my work and I am very excited to see it in this setting. I love talking about it - useful, seeing as IT IS MY JOB - so thank you, but go find someone else.
I loathe Gladstone.
I loathe Disraeli
I loathe both of you. Because these two were my all-time favorites.
Didivs Ivlianvs elaborate on that claim
Dizz married for the money, lol.
Typical j
Love Gladstone. Hate Disreali.
+Old Skool Wax i'm from india and i love gladstone's philosophy
Why?
I love Disraeli and hate Gladstone.
reuben988
Gladstone was against imperialism
A British PM studying Homer? Those were the days! The unchanged library was delightful.
Boris Johnson is very knowledgeable on the Greeks? Those were the days I guess...
when otto von bismark says you the man, you the man
Disraeli or Gladstone?
@@dwijgurram5490 Disraeli
I kind of felt sorry for Disraeli in the end. Gladstone saying his burial was a put on was a telling of Gladstones character. Not much of a gentleman.
Are u still feeling sorry? Lol. I always go to my enemies funerals.
@@nadimovitch9237 Can't you just disagree intelligently without a liberal sarcastic retort SMH
Dizz played dirty & was no gentleman in that regard.
What a fascinating documentary. I clicked this video on a whim and couldn't believe how interesting it was. What I find most interesting (and gratifying) is to see the ups and downs, successes and failures of each person; it's not just your typical "incredible rise to power and triumph" Hollywood story. Their fortunes ebbed and flowed like a good boxing match. Also gratifying to see that they were as human as the rest of us, they made mistakes and suffered bitter setbacks, and yet persevered and recovered each time. Truly inspiring.
Speaking of Hollywood, this story begs for a movie. No need to embellish in typical Hollywood style, the original tale is riveting enough as is!
Exactly! There's lots of great repostes back and forth, not recorded here that would make for a great script. Winston Churchill would make an appearance towards the end of the GOM's reign, to add a resonant note of poignancy to the movie, too! 😂
yep, im watching right now and its truly captivating!
In the US, in general history courses, we don't get much British history; the revolution, of course, and the Brits burning of WashingtonDC and he a White House of course. That Britain wouldn't recognise the Confederacy and Victoria, of course. Then nothing until the First World War and the start of the "Great Special Arrangement" between "the Great Anglo Nations."
So I so very much appreciate your consistently high-quality films, always so informative. ( and now I can lord over my Australian husband my superior knowledge of Oz's British past!). So thanks so much.
michelle stein-evers frankl you have history classes in the untied states??? I. Can t tell by talking to americans or reading what they attempt to write
Molly May the very language you’re speaking is English you moron, on the subject of grammar.
,@Molly May where do you live have you looked round the projects recently ,plus the amount of really overweight, people is half our population Britain and America are the same as in rich countries which shouldn't have poverty but do creaking old infrastructure,. pretend democracies
@meeka - as a fellow American, I say to you if you are desirous to learn more British history, READ WIDELY AND DEEPLY.
One of the best things for me when I was a student in the public school system some years ago is that it gave me the incentive to engage in independent reading. I enjoy reading and broadening my mind and intellect. So, take heart and treat yourself (for starters) to Winston Churchill's "The Island Race."
A great documentary! Of course, many huge issues had to be glossed over in telling a tale of such sweep, but the focus on the human rivalry between the two made it compelling.
A trivial point --- these reconstruction costumed clips help bring the show alive, but could they not afford a set of curlers for the young Dizzy?
Just discovered your channel Dr. Brown--thank you for posting this video--neither Gladstone nor Disraeli are often discussed among American historians and it isn't easy to find documentaries on either of them.
Darren Renna Thanks, Darren. I hope you find other films of interest to you on my channel. Welcome! Regards - Alan.
"He turned his back on Westminster again and returned to chopping down trees" LOL
I can’t believe no one saw through Gladstone’s opportunism when he wrote the pamphlet on the Bulgarian atrocities. He used that as a chance to regain political power and attack Disraeli . I never liked Gladstone because of his tree cutting stodgy religious demeanor…so I can be a little biased 😂. I also think Gladstone disliked Disraeli because he was a Jew
I wonder why I can at least name these yet I can't name any other Prime Minister
(except Wellington) under Victoria.I've known since childhood that Gladstone took great care of his health, chewing food up to 38 times ,and that Disraeli ,well he was of Jewish ancestry, showing how much Britain has been welcoming of Jews.Now I will view the documentary to find out more about these two.
The wealth Britain procured from her global empire was for the royal family & their cronies. The vast majority of Brits lived in abject poverty. Gladstone saw the charade of the royal family & wanted to change it.
90 minutes well spent. Thanks , Alan !
+Par N Thank you for watching, Par!
@Rufus Burne no, its gotten better. At least we missed the Anglo-Saxon invasions...lol.
Interesting: in the election of 1880, the Liberal leaders Lord Hartington and Lord Granville despite their significant electoral success, withdrew in favour of Gladstone.
Disraeli was hot.
I’m sure Gladstone thought so too...
Excellent documentary. However it could have been much more enjoyable had some excerpts of their great speeches been read out - it would surely have driven the point home.
They were great politicians, no doubt.
But were they statesmen?
Quite admire Palmerston as well. Couldn't find a documentary about him. Anyone?
+Ashley Hyatt All i could find on Lord Palmerston!!! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00j3xd1
+Cal Lore Cheers! Took a listen. It was brief, but worthwhile. Thank you.
try books.
+Ashley Hyatt I had a dvd called a prime minister on prime ministers which was presented by harold wilson. Palmerston is on there among the likes of attlee,churchill,lloyd George etc very interesting if you ever get the chance to watch it
Love this one also.; History informs the future. These guys were the innovators of spin and the people were the pawns. To me, Disraeli was the champion. We humans are nominal beasts in my opinion. Thank you Dr. Alan Brown!
Bulgarians never forgot their champion Gladstone. After liberation from the Ottoman yoke Bulgaria honoured him with many gifts of gratitude (which are still kept at Hawarden Castle). Bulgaria's major cities all have a central street named after the great man. Disraeli, on the other hand, was reviled for splitting Bulgaria into three. His realpolitik gave rise to the term "Balkanisation" and caused Bulgaria to fight in three Balkan and two world wars in an effort to reunite its people.
Deos he wanted more ottoman control in the Balkan’s because he saw free Balkan lands up for grabs for the Russian empire who were competing with the British in the Middle East.
D’Israeli I believe also regretted sending battleships to Constantinople after the Russo Turkish war in 1878
@@neilghosh3821 Gladstone was a Tory, a liberal. He supported nationalist sentiments, in Ireland and Bulgaria, as he was drawn to their plight.
))))
typical slavic idiot
@@bektemisovabai Proof? Look in the mirror and you'll see a real dipshit staring back!
Why would the collapse of the Ottoman Empire have "immeasurably damaged" Britain's position in the world? I admit my ignorance in 19th century European history, so anyone who could expand on that would be greatly appreciated :)
If the Ottoman Empire was taken by Russia, or another great power, the new territory would completely upset the European balance of power. In other words, it isn't so much the collapse of the Ottoman Empire that would destroy Britain, but the absorption of the additional territory. I believe this is actually the cause of the Crimean War? Hope this helps!
I don't see Gladstone not attending Disraeli's funeral as disrespectful. I think it would have been much more disrespectful if he did go. I think going to the funeral of someone you don't like is one of the worst ways you can disrespect someone. It's right up there with lying about how good someone was when they were alive, when you know they weren't. That's like saying their real life wasn't good enough, so you have to make up things so people care.
Jason Carson, right on! You took the words right out of my mouth!
It was churlish.
It was pretty Dizzi would of gone to his he never hated Gladstone ,Gladstone hated him though
Been there, done that. It's very uncomfortable being at a funeral with your enemy.
I heard Queen Victoria didn't like Gladstone but loved Disraeli
Last Summer I read for the first time Lytton Strachey's great biography of Disraeli. Highly recommended.
You know that stdachey was a plagarist and generally a stinker?
What an excellent documentary.
This was a fantastic documentary! And I thought the rivalry between Jackson and JQA was bad!!!
44:00 _different kind of missionary activities_ LOL 😂
Thanks Alan for uploading this superb documentary
Thank you so much Dr. Brown. I have viewed this several times, and find it so fascinating and insightful into so many issues. And need I mention, relevant to modern times.
Can't stand Gladstone, I've always favored Disraeli.
Thank you very much for this informative documentary! I had never heard of these 2 gentlemen, being a citizen of the United States with my parents hailing from Puerto Rico. The information was so well brought out, that I went to the library and took out 3 books on Disraeli. I was unable to find something on Gladstone, but the search is half the fun! Hopefully what I find will not be from 1976. Thank you for sharing!
You are most welcome, Lydia. It's not often one of my videos inspires further research! Take a look at the History Room website at www.historyroom.org There might be something else to interest you there. Many thanks for your positive comments. Regards - Alan.
What leaves me dissatisfied with this programme is that I don't get a sense of their political philosophies - the similarities and the differences.
Thank you , brilliant and unbiased and informative.
The BBC used to be the best at this , but not anymore not since the woke mind virus took control.
I do hope Huw is doing better , the witch hunt against him was disgusting and very disturbing.
He was truly excellent at these in depth political documentaries and I hope to see him again.
Excellent documentary. Thanks for uploading.
This is an intriguing documentary. I have a bit of knowledge of William Gladstone and Benjamin Desrali through Queen Victoria's documentaries. I didn't expect to see this, but I am extremely glad that I have stumpled upon this interesting documentary.
Er, yes, let's just conveniently omit the fact that when Disraeli was born not just Jews but also Catholic Christians were prohibited from standing for parliament.
amazing documentary, thanks for posting
I did 'The Age Of Gladstone And Disraeli' as a special subject in 'A' Level History back in 1972, so many thanks for this film.
The assumption is that these men rose to power on their merits. I would suggest that those merits were in the minds of the elitist circles. Whereas the peerage and usury systems preceded the first feeble attempts to sell democracy as a dialectical exercise, it was quite obvious who created what, and for what purpose. My what a challenge, to create an illusion which ruled the entire planet, and to maintain that illusion to perpetuity.
That voice sounds familiar ... Huw could it be?
And now we have Boris and his clan of scammers. How little Britania has sunk to a pathetic reality show
This makes it look like both men were selfish, and petty, and that their personal political ambitions ended up bringing changes that benefitted the typical British citizen.
1:02:19 Umm... do you think maybe the working men knew full well whose idea it was to give them the vote? That it was Gladstone's, but that Dizzy had initially torpedoed it for his own personal gain? You are making it sound as if Dizzy was some kind of social justice warrior. But my impression even after watching this somewhat biased documentary is that Dizzy was a charismatic opportunist who would happily hijack other people's ideas and pass them off as his own. He seems to have done little else than furthering his own personal ambitions at any cost. Gladstone was a much more modern politician, it seems to me.
Great documentary, though. Really engrossing and well made. I'd love to see more docs about this era.
Yeah but Gladstone didn't mean to give it to the working class man just another million or so voters sissy opened it up to be how we know it today
Dissy sorry plus Gladstone backed slavery the south in American civil war they both played the game well history just makes Gladstone more noble n dissy Machiavellian could there be a hint of anti semitism in that perhaps because Gladstone don't many turnarounds
Not really sure about Huw as a presenter. I persevered and perhaps coped with him a bit more as we went on. But wouldn't have been my first choice.
His nudge nudge wink wink tone in discussing Gladstone's sexual proclivities has not aged well.
Excellent documentary. Many thanks!
Any relation to David lol
Thanks for all the great documentaries. This one made me instantly go look for David Hume documentaries. Thanks again.
Lance Mallette Thank you, Lance. I'm very pleased that you enjoy my channel. More to come!
Gladstone showed from the outset that he was an eloquent pos.
I'm from Brazil and I think the history of British politics is interesting
I have been reading these gentlemen. It is jaw dropping to read their prose, the development of an idea to it's conclusion. They are to be read. Studied. Honored.
a liverpool trading family, his father got 80 million pounds(in todays money) from the goverment when the slave trade was ended
Outstanding video! A lot of facts from my college days came back in this video. Frankly, Disraeli was the better Prime Minister. As the video says, Gladstone was very “priggish”. When you hear about Disraeli’s death, Gladstone was extremely petty for not going to the funeral. Disraeli did very well in his service to the Crown, given the blatant Anti-Semitism that existed in this time frame. We should condemn anti-Semitism in any era.
I think it is ironic that Queen Victoria was so supportive of Disraeli at the end of his life. In her early years, she was supportive of a Liberal Prime Minister. Victoria demonstrates the long history of the Crown supporting Prime Ministers of good character. There is no religious or racial bias in how Victoria viewed the British People. Queen Elizabeth II carries in this tradition today.
Gladstone is in the process of being 'cancelled' at Liverpool University because of a speech in 1823 in which he defended, obliquely, the slave trade. The building - Gladstone Hall - will be renamed. The university said it is "addressing contemporary racism." Interesting to see that 200 years ago is now considered 'contemporary'.
@@NathanielHiggerson I stand by this post! Gladstone was anti-Semitic. Queen Victoria was very wise in her response. I question your response!
@@NathanielHiggerson Frankly, I am appalled! I may be part Jewish, although I am uncertain. I CONDEMN anti-Semitism. Disraeli was a great British Prime Minister!
this is well put togetherr I'd love to see some of their speeches worked in but it's long as it is
Great documentary, thanks for uploading
great, really enjoyed this history lesson. Thank you.
This documentary is hugely biased against Disraeli, downplaying and passing over his accomplishments while lavishing praise on Gladstone's. I couldn't even make it to the end.
Thank you for this excellent documentary. Not only did I find it informative but superbly presented: well narrated, pertinent and interesting commentary from expert historians. I cannot recommend it enough.
+SU HUA Leow Thank you very much. I'm very pleased that you found the film interesting!

Hi 👋 cutie
