Just the thing…
We watched Lucy Worsley’s Tudor Christmas last night, just to jiggle the mood. Mucho recommendo.
If you don’t know Lucy, she was a curator for Historic Royal Palaces for twenty years and does a lot of historical programs on the BBC. We call her Loopy Lucy. Any excuse to dress up in period costume. Slight speech impediment. Amusing and harmless.
Turns out it’s from 2024. BBC’s iPlayer is here, but you might have to set your VPN to England and swear you’re a loyal subject of Good King Booboo. It looks like several people have put it on YouTube. I wonder how that works.

Any wondering what the interior of Badger House looks like will get more than a clue when Lucy visits what we suspect was the Weald and Downland Museum to show what life was like for the ordinary folk in Tudor times. Imagine that with electric light but still waiting for someone to tidy up.

I don’t think anyone is as bootlegged on YouTube as Dame Lucy.
I enjoyed it very much.

Is she as amusing as Philomena Cunk?
