Lucy Worsley : Black Death

[BrynCartwright]

The lovely Lucy just said 'prorogue' in episode 2 of her 4 part 'Investigates' series on BBC4....woof! woof! ..

Really interesting actually.....


The pneumonic Black Death was apparently 100% lethal, and makes Covid look like a dose of chilblains..

Oh Bryn! Don't let Bonnie hear you talk about other women like that mun.

I was dragged to see her live. Clever no doubt but boring as buggery. She did a lecture from behind a lectern with PowerPoint slides. She has zero charisma away from the camera.

Alice Roberts is better for my money, not as “look at me” as Lucy and less of a media whore. More decorative too if your boat floats in shallower waters.

Yup, always liked Alice, especially her voice and her genuine passion for her topics. Local girl round these 'ere parts too.
