I gave a lecture in college on theater in Europe during the 18th century and started with this clip. The professor and the class all found it hilarious, and it really helped to set the mood. Thanks for posting!

@newstatesascendant You used a scene set in 19th Century England for a college lecture on 18th Century European theatre? Wouldn't someone have noticed?

@narcissusgray In all fairness, although series 3 is based in the regency, most of it's events & stylings are indeed taken from the 18th century (e.g. the french revolution, most of the costumes, the dictionary etc...)
