From Gry, our Norwegian Friday Videos Correspondent, comes a few clips from a BBC series about Victorian language. First up: slang!

And Victorian Names!

Henceforth you may all address me as Princess Cheese, Duchess of Cuntington.
May your weekend be filled with hilarious education of all sorts!
This is hilarious! Was everyone on opium or something?
Love these! See, celeb baby names aren’t so bad. I never understood all the grumbling about Apple, anyway.
It’s Spike from Jam and Jerusalem!
I would just like to thank you for this. I am absolutely obsessed with watching clips from this show on youtube, (as I am not in Britain and cannot watch it on television). I often find myself singing the songs from this and my the historical fashion fixes are hilarious.
Possibly; given the ingredients of some ‘curatives’ of the day! 😀
