Presenters Rosemary Shrager and Tim Wonnacott visit Castle Howard in Yorkshire to follow in the footsteps of Queen Victoria and her tour of the country visiting the great and the good. Tim talks to the current Earl of Carlisle, Simon Howard, who reveals the lengths his ancestors went to host the queen, and just what happened when 2,000 vistors turned up to see where her majesty had slept. Rosemary is below stairs creating a famous 19th-century dish that would have been served to Victoria and Albert.

I might have for the first time gotten sth valuable from this series, and it's the realization that phrenology was most likely invented for the rich and influential (and not very well versed in critical thinking, - you know, just like modern people who stuff the pockets of homeotherapeuts or Gwyneth Paltrow) customers who needed to ease their mind from the slightest shade of suspicion that their children growing up to become useless and antisocial individuals might have been the result of neglect and abuse on the parent's side. Just blame it on the random features of skull shape and facial features - problem solved! No need to blame own parental incompetence and lack of interest in the child's needs of all sorts or the inhumane and toxic pedagogical guidelines of the era, and inspiring the need for the oh so exhausting improvement of parental and pedagogical style. Now Albert brought this tactics to perfection, not only he agreed to blame his son's misgivings on his cranium's structure, he also denied he got it from him. Welp, hypothetically assuming that phrenology was actually accurate, wouldn't it be appropriate to examine Albert's and Victoria's skulls and verify which of them bare the same features as those allegedly causing negative character's traits?

Castle Howard has between 145-150 rooms altogether, so I would definitely say they have more than 32 bedrooms. Although we must also remember that their guest bedrooms are 1. of a very large size (yet will house a maximum of two guests per room), and 2. most come with adjoining sitting and/ or dressing rooms (which are again very large in themselves). That all adds up.

I really like history. And when I click on history vids, I do expect the details. But when I click on a video for an historical recipe, I'd like to see the recipe without all the rest. No offense. I'm sure there are people who love the meandering through the recipe. I guess I've just been spoiled by Tasting History with Max Miller. You get the history, but it's mostly history about the RECIPE itself, and doesn't take quite so long when you're interested in learning how to make something.

Then you do not understand what this programme is about (do not be fooled by the title - that’s only what “Absolute History” has chosen to name the upload). “Royal Upstairs Downstairs” is not “only” centred around the recipe, but the *beautiful* historic property (and its priceless contents) that hosted Queen Victoria/ her banquet, the logistics of hosting a Queen and of course Queen Victoria herself. I personally do not watch these videos for the recipe, so I guess everyone’s different.
