Sorry, but "Doctor Who" has already been there, done that.

Sooooo wonderful! I love this.

Was just reading about the horsedrawn omnibuses in this book/. They were a big improvement over horse-drawn carriages, but it was pretty brutal to read about - sometimes horses were killed in mid-pull when they were injured or failed.

Incredible video, though. Just love it. Love seeing the individual faces and motions of people over 100 years ago - nothing else brings home quite so well that they weren't too different from us.

This is great.

Awesome stuff! Yeah, not too different from us, including the arrogant bastard physically pushing people aside that were in his way to some important thing.

That was quite astonishing. But ... men, women and boys - where were all the girls?

3:02 or abouts, there's a line of school kids, some groups of girls can be seen.
