> being trapped in a pub with David and him bending your ear on history for several hours

Don't threaten me with a good time! Ordered.

I didn’t mind the humour but got lost in all the Edward’s and Henry’s.

It did reinforce my skeptical opinion on the monarchy.

To be fair the book ends (by choice) at the precise point where the monarchy starts to evolve into something more like what we have today.

This is honestly why I got it (I listened to it as an audiobook which was narrated by Mitchell himself). I'm not really that "into" the history of the British monarchy, but if it's told to me by Mark from Peep Show I could get on board with it.

Peep Show was such a good show. Absolutely loved it.

Mitchell & Webb show was also good

Such a pungent smell!

If you haven’t seen his Soapbox, it’s a show of him ranting. Do recommend.

I could pretty much hear his voice reading it tbh...
