Ah, so that's who Kenneth Clark is! I had no idea until now. I recall having watched "Civilisation" back in the day ( about 50 years ago, when I was not more than 20, I think), but I didn't know who he was other than the guy presenting the series. This is an excellent presentation, thank you!

Alan Crookham’s voice is amazing!! Please have him narrate more videos, his voice is so relaxing and reminds me of ASMR 😌

Just reading fiction of Algate as British Museum storage and previously fiction referencing art storage in Wales. Ar first i thought the underground storage was itself fiction. So fantastical it seemed!

A rumour about letting air out of the tyres looks like exactly that a rumour, an old school version of click-bait. The tyres in the clip look fully inflated

[@HansSchick]

That letter looks like it was opened . How did they know to keep her identity a secret without opening it .

[@HansSchick]

Looks like the horse's head suffered from rickets also

Good for Hodgkins
