I have genuinely spent 10 minutes starting at this but, no, it really DOES appear to be true that a bunch of cryptobros just spent €2.6 MILLION - 100x the asking price - for a book at auction in the mistaken belief that they would therefore own the copyright in it.

Lads, if Doctor Who has riled you up this week with its intimations that British rule in India might not have been overwhelmingly appreciated and you’re shocked that imperialism may have had some awful side effects then OH BOY is Actual History going to be a shock for you.

Actually for the full 70s Carry On effect, this should have been a stuntman for the long shots, and then a close up to Tom dangling in front of a crude back projection while he made frantically made exaggerated ‘OH NO!’ faces.

As I said to Tom last night, this was beautifully done. My only note was that his trousers should have fallen down at this exact point, leaving him dangling in mid air, trousers round ankles, wearing only love heart emblazoned boxer shorts and socks held up with sock suspenders
