I have watched Part 2 and now watching Part 3. I have noticed several well-known and famous actors in character in both Part2 & 3. This is a very good documentary.

Still sad to think that in London Pooor he described the people as "savages". Why the east "the dark side associated with poverty and squalor"

Best episode of this series ! On Victorian Britian, it shows the shame of a society which was to treat those who could care for themselves with comtempt ! Society can be judged by the way it treats its most vulnerable !

@34:36 Tom Hollander evidently has never heard any of the many recordings of Eliot's voice. 🤣

Listening to this as I have lived in London and sensed no depth or 'magic' in it. As I intend to stay, I want to find some interesting stuff in it. Mind you, I see museums and galleries but compared to the endearing charm of Yorkshire, that's not much. I need stories I suppose to like a place.

37: 37 is eerily prophetic of 7/7.

He says it is utterly impersonal and says something about the glance earlier too

Just like predatory capitalism. They are all isms. Depends upon the corruption of human beings the way it plays out. Usually totally corrupt within a short time

That s why we have not got the answer yet

Don't be ridiculous. They don't have the answers and this doc doesn't suggest they do. They have the vision to ask the questions.

The greatest city remark is not an endorsement or an approval of Victorian London. It's a comment on its size, financial power and the reach it had across the world at the time. I'd have thought that from the tone of this documentary this was blindingly obvious.

Sadly his anti establishment and royalist view vastly skew and undermine the accuracy of his findings, interpretations and recordings across much of his work. If you read any Ackroyd work also reference other sources to obtain an informed balance.
