Good
evening. Once again I am joined by Professor F.J Lewis,
Emeritus Professor of History at All Souls College, Oxford.
I understand that some viewers felt that last week we rather skated
over the topic of Great Britain 1931 to '38 - the Austerity Years.
I can only offer my apologies and pledge that Professor Lewis and myself
shall make every endeavour to fully explore tonight's topic of discussion
- The 1905 Sebastopol uprising. Professor Lewis, do you feel, as many do,
that Sebastopol was indeed the birthplace of the Russian Revolution?

| RN: |
See
people who talk like this? {makes Donald Duck type noise}
That's you, that is. That's you talking your best. |
| |
|
| DB: |
I
see. You see girls running like this {waves arms around at sides}
that's you, that is. That's how you run. |
| |
|
| RN: |
See
your bike? It's a girl's bike. |
| |
|
| DB: |
I
do not own a bicycle. |
| |
|
| RN: |
You
do and it's a girl's bike. |
| |
|
| DB: |
Well
I'd just like to s... |
| |
|
| RN: |
It's
for girls. |
| |
|
| DB: |
You
see those workman's tents in the road? |
| |
|
| RN: |
I
have observed them. |
| |
|
| DB: |
That's
your house. That's where you go on holiday. |
| |
|
| RN: |
See
this? This is my drink. You can't have none. Yum yum, tasty. |
| |
|
| DB: |
Oh,
I've just remembered. |
| |
|
| RN: |
Sorry,
I'm busy drinking my drink. |
| |
|
| DB: |
Your
dad phoned me up the other day. |
| |
|
| RN: |
My
Father? What did he say? |
| |
|
| DB: |
{makes
Donald Duck type noises} |
| |
|
| RN: |
la la la la, I can't hear you. Speak louder, la la la la la. |
| |
|
| DB: |
Professor
Lewis, if we might return to the matter at hand. |
| |
|
| RN: |
Yes. |
| |
|
| DB: |
I
have here a copy of you book, Origins of the Crimean War {lifts up
book}. Pooh, ugh, pooh. It smells of pooh. |
| |
|
| RN: |
That's because it's been inside your Mum's bra. |
| |
|
| DB: |
Well
it would appear.. {laughs} |
| |
|
| RN: |
That's
why it's so very smelly. |
| |
|
| DB: |
It
would appear that the Sebastopol question is one that will continue to cause
heated debate between historians.
Professor Lewis, thankyou very much. |
| |
|
| RN: |
{pinching
his nose} Thankyou. |
