Hello from Montreal, Canada! Fine work on your videos. I've watched a few now and I'm likely going to binge-watch the rest over the next little while. Hope your channel does well. Thanx!

How wonderful such a fascinating story albeit tragic especially for Mr Drew's wife and children. What a despicable and sadistic Mr Drew was to relegate his family to servants quarters, while he wallowed in luxury with his mistress in the house. Well, Karma caught up with him, but at the expense of his son. George 11 was incredibly generous to Mrs Drew, hats off the King 🤴 At least they lived in luxury after all the heartbreak. Thank you 💛

I have only recently discovered your channel and love your look back into historical events that are obscure to the average viewer, thanks for sharing your stories with us all. One thing I would ask is if you would consider slowing down your narration slightly, sometimes it gets difficult for my old brain to absorb, thanks again for your very interesting and entertaining stories. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 P.S I thought the weapon would turn out to be blunderbuss, or the pistol version of it as it is the only weapon I can think of that could fire irregular shaped projectiles.

It has been said before and its something I am working on don't worry It has more to do with over editing after I have heard a clip 7 or 8 times a 4 second pause seems like forever when of course it isn't for a 1st time viewer.

I wonder what happened to the mistress. The sisters should have thrown her and dear old dad down the stairs. Make it look like an accident and they tried to catch each other and both fell. Poor Mrs. Drew having to put up with the insult of the mistress in her home.

I am fascinated that in this and others tales there was a “Get out of jail free card” on offer! That makes perfect sense as criminals are the most likely to hear what other criminals have done. Truly, we ought to do that for our unsolved cold cases. When crimes are committed it is impossible to do a perfect crime. Someone somewhere knows something… but often has reason to stay silent. Money in reward is of no use if in speaking to Police you end up in jail yourself.
