  Charles II - George II - Tea...

  Charles Featherstone gleefully narrates the uproarious finale of A’Beckett’s Comic History, skewering Britain’s glorious descent into chaos after Queen Anne. Witness thick-accented German kings fumbling through English, ministers auctioning the nation’s dignity, and England drowning in get-rich-quick scams – all while crinolines expanded and sense evaporated. 
  meet George I, shuffling mistresses in and out of palace cupboards while dodging Jacobite assassins; his son George II, shrieking battlefield commands in mangled English (and reportedly dropping his trousers for "luck" mid-cavalry charge); and Britain’s "first" Prime Minister, Robert Walpole, who perfected bribery as statecraft with the immortal quip: "Every man has his price... and mine is remarkably low!" 
  Witness the South Sea Bubble—a frenzy of greed that saw nobles and cobblers alike betting fortunes on "vapor and paperwork" until the economy imploded (though London’s wig-makers somehow thrived). Hold your breath as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s tartan-clad Jacobite rebels storm south in the ’45 Rising, only to collapse into farce when the prince reportedly fled a dessert fork "quivering in his pudding." And marvel at Britain’s global gambles: empires built on naval mutinies over rancid limes, colonial cash-grabs, and taxes on everything from windows to gin—all while Germanic kings gazed wistfully toward Saxony. 
  Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and The Perfect for fans of Blackadder the Third and the screwball intrigue of The Favourite, this riotous finale proves Britain’s "Enlightenment" was really enlightened self-interest—a stumble toward greatness paved with blunders, bribes, and enough powdered wigs to choke a horse.
