    I knew from your storytelling of the culture at the time of Jack The Ripper that you are an EXCELLENT historical researcher. No one else compares! Please do the Spanish flu epidemic in the 1900s in America and the rest of the world next :) my great grandmother lost half her siblings and nearly died herself. Or the Great Chicago Fire of 1871

      Oo the Spanish flu would be a great one! The global impact was just catastrophic. It's kinda hard for us to grasp the scale of it. And from my understanding it didn't even start in Spain, they were just one of the first countries to report on it on a significant scale.

    i know this is a bit different but i would love like a “history on....” as in, like history on old iconic books such as “alice in wonderland” or “peter pan” which actually have darker meanings behind them. or just history behind nursery rhymes, the story behind them. alsooo a possible video on the assassination of franz ferdinand which broke out into ww1. i could go on & on about how many history videos i want but that’s just because im a huuuge history junkie but i know you have a life so i won’t pressure u too much 😂😂

    Talk about timing! I teach ESL in South America and just three days ago I tutored a student who had to do a project for his English class about the Great Fire of London. I wish his English was advanced enough to understand this video, because I'd send it to him (he's only at a A1 level sooooo).

    All I can say is Bravo!!! You are a magnificent story teller! I would be interested to know when/how the true cause for the fire was finally acknowledged and if the poor wrongfully accused man was vindicated. The destruction and loss from the fire is unfathomable. I would like to think that only 6 unfortunate people died but, sadly, the number is likely significantly higher. The resilience of the survivors and their commitment to rebuild the great city of London is remarkable! Cannot wait for your next historical feature! Hugs from North Carolina USA!

    Hi Georgia. I've really enjoyed this. I think a really good topic to cover would the Irish Famine. I made friends with a girl from Manchester who knew nothing about it and so many English people have no idea what role Great Britain played in it back then. It certainly explains why us Irish are very protective over our potatoes lol! Another one would be Ireland's 1916 rising and gaining independence. I know it doesn't shine a particularly good light on the English but I think an amazing outcome was the Queen's first visit to Ireland in 2011. Basically, the Irish/English relationship is still making history!

    I was obsessed with the Fire of London as a child. My parents took me to Pudding Lane as a child to see where it started. My little brother cried the whole time and ruined the experience. We had to leave to find food for him and I hated him for years 😂. I finally went back at age 39 to see it again. No crying involved.

    I first learned about the Great Fire of London through the same three-part documentary mentioned at the beginning. I didn't know that St Paul's had been destroyed before but after hearing it was covered by wooden scaffolding I thought "Ah, that changes things". When Notre Dame caught fire last year I looked at the scaffolding surrounding it and immediately thought: "It's St Paul's all over again".
