It's the sign of 178 00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:58,100 a weirdo. Mum, let's go. 179 00:10:58,101 --> 00:11:01,599 Now, Milo, to start off with, I just need to punch you right in the face. 180 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,339 I need to knock you out for the operation. 181 00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:04,819 Trust me, you don't want to be conscious. 182 00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:07,299 Also, to be honest, it's a little hard to concentrate with people sort of 183 00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:09,160 screaming. OK, if he hits me, I'll sue. 184 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,850 Try and relax. 185 00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:14,460 These hands would not be caked in blood, pus and... 186 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,500 I think that might be some poo, if I didn't know what I was doing. 187 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,260 I'm so sorry about him. 188 00:11:23,860 --> 00:11:28,020 Have you just... No, it's the poo on the jacket. 189 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,010 That was me. 190 00:11:31,700 --> 00:11:36,899 Now, great medical progress was made during my reign, and I was a bit of a 191 00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:37,950 pioneer, too. 192 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,760 What was I the first queen to do? 193 00:11:41,180 --> 00:11:44,820 A, give birth under pain -relieving anaesthetic. 194 00:11:45,290 --> 00:11:47,870 B. Have heart surgery. C. 195 00:11:48,430 --> 00:11:50,590 Donate blood to someone else. 196 00:11:52,330 --> 00:11:54,310 The answer is A. 197 00:11:54,530 --> 00:12:00,309 I gave birth to my eighth child, little Prince Leopold, while sedated, thanks to 198 00:12:00,310 --> 00:12:05,069 chloroform. Of course, if you have got anesthetic to put you to sleep, you 199 00:12:05,070 --> 00:12:09,050 always listen to my Prime Minister, William Gladstone, talking about 200 00:12:10,050 --> 00:12:11,100 Terrible man. 201 00:12:11,570 --> 00:12:13,910 He dares to have his own opinions. 202 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:22,959 It's true, Victoria was never glad to see Mr Gladstone. She was much happier 203 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,339 when he was replaced by Benjamin Disraeli, who came up with a cunning 204 00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:30,260 cheer up moany old Vicky. 205 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:35,059 Yes, she was Queen of the British Empire, but now the British were running 206 00:12:35,060 --> 00:12:39,000 India. Disraeli made her Empress of India too. 207 00:12:39,380 --> 00:12:40,620 Happy days! 208 00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:43,260 Well, no, not really. 209 00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:49,309 Victoria remained as grumpy as ever. But surely she might at least visit her new 210 00:12:49,310 --> 00:12:52,270 country. No, not blooming lightly. 211 00:13:01,290 --> 00:13:04,949 It's good to be boss and queen, Victoria. But what if all the world's 212 00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:07,649 leaders ignore you? You're the world's biggest empire. 213 00:13:07,650 --> 00:13:09,250 But who does that impress? 214 00:13:09,830 --> 00:13:12,710 When even my own subjects don't know me. 215 00:13:14,220 --> 00:13:17,819 I thought it was really your PM in charge. Suppose if I had to, I could tie 216 00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:21,059 to the rod. The plan, your highness, to prevent your sense of injure. I hereby 217 00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:22,560 name you Empress of India. 218 00:13:46,681 --> 00:13:54,129 India is all very well, but there's no place like home I prefer, so it's Mel. 219 00:13:54,130 --> 00:13:55,569 Don't you love Bombay spices? 220 00:13:55,570 --> 00:13:57,350 And the jewels of Hyderabad? 221 00:13:57,830 --> 00:13:59,590 They are shipped to England. 222 00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:01,590 Go fetch them, I've been mad. 223 00:14:01,591 --> 00:14:05,529 That Indian famine's no fun for a newcomer. Prefer the Isle of Wight for 224 00:14:05,530 --> 00:14:06,580 Indian summer. 225 00:14:06,581 --> 00:14:09,429 Oh, that is very nice. We'd better have no quarrel. Frankly, Benji, bread's 226 00:14:09,430 --> 00:14:10,490 better in Balmoral. 227 00:14:10,770 --> 00:14:12,150 Bread of India! 228 00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:14,110 Title sounds good. 229 00:14:41,260 --> 00:14:45,459 The party didn't stop for a bit of blood and gore. Thousands of readers beat the 230 00:14:45,460 --> 00:14:48,110 week or more. The biggest party party you ever did see. 231 00:15:17,290 --> 00:15:22,409 19th century British India, otherwise known as the Raj, a large group of 232 00:15:22,410 --> 00:15:25,230 provinces, falls together under British rule. 233 00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:28,080 That's a total headache for the authority. 234 00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:33,769 For example, how can they tax such a huge area with only a small number of 235 00:15:33,770 --> 00:15:34,820 officials? 236 00:15:38,750 --> 00:15:43,509 Today, I've come to meet Ranjit, a man who's been helping to create a rather 237 00:15:43,510 --> 00:15:44,650 interesting solution. 238 00:15:45,130 --> 00:15:47,920 Ranjit. Why don't you explain what's going on? 239 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,080 We're planting a hedge. 240 00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:51,550 Fascinating. 241 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,540 Can you give us any more details? 242 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,840 We're planting a massive hedge. Right. It's a massive, massive hedge. 243 00:16:02,060 --> 00:16:06,419 After several hours of this, Ranjit finally explained the British ruler's 244 00:16:06,420 --> 00:16:11,920 ambitious solution is to build a hedge 2 ,300 miles long right across India. 245 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,259 When completed... The hedge will be so thick and thorny that people won't be 246 00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:20,119 able to get across it. The British then plan to build a series of crossing 247 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,819 points, each one guarded by soldiers and officials, people who pass through, are 248 00:16:24,820 --> 00:16:25,870 taxed on their goods. 249 00:16:26,060 --> 00:16:29,520 I've come back to see Ranjit to find out how the hedge is coming along. 250 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,400 This hedge is nearly five metres deep and four metres high. 251 00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:38,940 Goodness. Can you picture a small hedge? Yes, I think so. Well, it is bigger. 252 00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:42,220 It takes 12 ,000 men to guard it. 253 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,130 Do you know why? 254 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,820 Because it's a big hedge? 255 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,320 No. Because it's a massive hedge. 256 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,300 It's like the Great Wall of China, but with one crucial difference. 257 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,130 It's a hedge? 258 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,560 You better believe it. 259 00:16:57,220 --> 00:16:58,280 We love the hedge. 260 00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:05,259 Several years and one costume change later, I've come back to see Ranjit and 261 00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:07,220 find out how the hedge is progressing. 262 00:17:08,859 --> 00:17:14,059 Ranjit. An advantage of a hedge over a wall is that it grows by itself, so it 263 00:17:14,060 --> 00:17:15,800 doesn't need constant rebuilding. 264 00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:18,099 It needs constant rebuilding. 265 00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:24,540 The storms blow it down, locals set fire to it and eat it. I hate the hedge. 266 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,090 I see. 267 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,560 What about stopping the smugglers? 268 00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:35,799 They get past it all the time. They throw things over it, they float things 269 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:36,829 it in the rivers. 270 00:17:36,830 --> 00:17:39,660 They even get herds of camels to run at it to break it down. 271 00:17:40,450 --> 00:17:45,030 Dilkey, as a feat of engineering or gardening, it really is very impressive. 272 00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:47,430 It's just a massive hedge. 273 00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:50,940 It's not even the kind that you can shape into amusing animals. 274 00:17:51,050 --> 00:17:52,100 Look. 275 00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:53,870 This is a rabbit. 276 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:55,150 I made a rabbit. 277 00:17:55,530 --> 00:18:00,249 When I first heard about the plans to create a great hedge of India, I was 278 00:18:00,250 --> 00:18:01,330 initially sceptical. 279 00:18:01,610 --> 00:18:04,550 Of course, I was right, because I wear glasses. 280 00:18:04,790 --> 00:18:05,840 Hide the hedge. 281 00:18:07,940 --> 00:18:13,560 At the time, Queen Victoria's empire covered nearly a fifth of the world, 282 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:19,339 including India, Canada, New Zealand and most of Africa. Not all of it. She 283 00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:20,379 wasn't greedy. 284 00:18:20,380 --> 00:18:21,500 Actually, she was. 285 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,239 Britain even ruled Australia, where an outlandish outlaw called Ned Kelly was 286 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,860 causing the police all kinds of problems. 287 00:18:30,140 --> 00:18:31,920 By being bulletproof. 288 00:18:32,710 --> 00:18:37,570 Sounds wild. Yep, it's time for another one of history's craziest fools. 289 00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:50,029 Sometimes, yeah, there is a fine line between being a hero and being as mad as 290 00:18:50,030 --> 00:18:54,449 bag of foxes on roller skates, yeah? And this next fool has got to go down in 291 00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:59,049 history as one of the most bravest, dangerousest, craziest geezers that ever 292 00:18:59,050 --> 00:19:00,730 lived, apart from my cousin Brian. 293 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,940 is the famous Australian outlaw, Ned Kelly. 294 00:19:04,300 --> 00:19:08,539 This fool was around in the time of Queen Victoria, and he was so crazy, I 295 00:19:08,540 --> 00:19:09,939 thought, like him, actually. 296 00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:11,260 Don't be an idiot, Ned. 297 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,880 You're surrounded, mate. 298 00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:18,180 Taking on a whole Victorian police force in homemade bulletproof body armour. 299 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,450 Oh, no! 300 00:19:19,451 --> 00:19:21,539 You're only making this worse for yourself. 301 00:19:21,540 --> 00:19:22,590 Far away. 302 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,400 You're not going to hurt me. Turns out Ned's legs were not armoured. 303 00:19:27,050 --> 00:19:31,529 But as Constable James Dwyer is about to find out, his underpants were... Check 304 00:19:31,530 --> 00:19:32,580 it! 305 00:19:33,570 --> 00:19:40,109 They say Dwyer hopped about like a demented frickin' kangaroo, which is 306 00:19:40,110 --> 00:19:41,530 Australian for fool, yeah? 307 00:19:42,050 --> 00:19:47,169 History has taught us that fools can be well nasty, they can be well nice, they 308 00:19:47,170 --> 00:19:52,150 can be zeros or even heroes. But one thing's for sure, they are all... 309 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,690 Crazy bra. 310 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,260 Until next time, stay away from stupid, all right? 311 00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:04,779 My grandmother knits them, and then I take them to Spitalfield, and I sell 312 00:20:04,780 --> 00:20:05,830 for a tenner each. 313 00:20:07,340 --> 00:20:11,919 The Victorian era was a time of great invention, and one such brilliant idea 314 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,899 the bicycle. It transformed the way people travelled, although not everyone 315 00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:18,560 thought it was a good idea. 316 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,930 Good day. 317 00:20:20,970 --> 00:20:23,850 I went out by the perfectly full pot of loveliness. 318 00:20:24,430 --> 00:20:28,610 A gift, perhaps, for the only man in your life?

I wanted to ride this bicycle. 329 00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:58,620 If I wear that skirt, I'll take off like an owl. 330 00:20:58,770 --> 00:21:02,449 Just any owl, my love.
