While it's trivial splitting hairs kinda stuff, you do ask if we notice any errors... "Fenian" is pronounced like FEE-nee'an. Albeit the pronunciation Othais used doesn't obscure what he is speaking about. So it's kinda a moot point.

Probably worth a change if you are changing anything else. I only ever used to hear Fenian as a term of abuse from Protestants, but I've not been in Ulster or a Celtic v Rangers game, for decades so even that might have stopped. The R.I.C is a Con-stab-u-lary, but that is even less likely to annoy anyone than mis-pronouncing Fenian. Warwickshire is wrong and all.

Along the same line you’re pronouncing “Constabulary” really strangely Othias lol

Grant Ellis

I could be wrong here, but after shooting the Bulldog, I don't think Mae was smiling. Is that a first?

"Constabulary" did cause a tic for me. The way to get it is a couplet from Gilbert and Sullivan: "When constabulary duty's to be done, to be done / A policeman's lot is not a happy one." Nothing is more English than Gilbert and Sullivan, and the rhythm is very strongly marked in that line. OTOH, I don't react to British place names the same way, because they are so odd, and in many cases the locals pronounce the same place in different ways.

Not the M1907 many expected but definitely a gun that got into an episode of the war. And it falls nicely in line with me re-watching the major revolver eps. *thumbsup*

I'm curious about the history of bulldog becoming a symbol for Britain. I have the feeling that John Bull was the standard British symbol long before the bulldog. Was it already common before this pistol, or did the pistol help the meme?

MAJ Richard Turner Ret.

Not to be a downer here but the word Constabulary is pronounced \ kən-ˈsta-byə-ˌler-ē with the emphasis on the 'stab'. as an aside, my father was a company commander in Germany post war, in the Constabulary and I have his documentation, etc.

Brock Gouett

At 11:37 does it sound more like he said clones than clowns?

Coatl

around 11:40 you say "clones" instead of "clowns" personally I think that's funny and you should leave it in

Nothing major but found it was obvious that slow motion footage at 25:02 was a totally different take. Clothing and lighting are different.

Pre-S: 1867, not 37 rebellion. That's when they got the Royal. About the RIC. It was predominantly Catholic, ok less so higher up but overall it was. And while things in Irland were a political hot potato before 1914 already, it is my understanding that it stayed civilized until after 1918.

Guido Schriewer

though kind of made for the wrong side... my lady is irish/austrian mix ... nontheless that ric model looks cute, hey for that times while a ton of open top cartridge converted were around or even percussions... say not openfields rural but more urban area the bulldog is big 45 in a small package. take that for expected 7m and in anytime in the era.

Martin Morehouse

Sounds like Harry Lauder singing 'The British Bulldog' at 34:00.

Stephen

Just a small complaint but it is pronounced Fee-nee-ans.

Planescaped

Keep forgetting I can watch these early...

Wayne Dygert

Mae's expressions while shooting the snub nose .455 spoke volumes about how enjoyable it was (not) to shoot ;)

The people giving the orders were overwhelmingly not Irish Catholics however. And I wouldn't really describe the Rising of '16 and the British response as particularly civilised

It took me a minute to find where this went wrong. I knew it was 1867 so I was confused what you meant until I just heard it. Script error and I didn't even hear it

Markus B.
>>75003781

No worries, that's why this sort of pre episodes is up. ... 40 dollars for international shipping of Armax, I could pay for this by reducing my...just kidding, I won't do that.
