| British Political History Condensed | |
| BrainwaveCreative As it's the British General Election on Thursday, we thought you might enjoy this Monty Pythonesque animated video that Brainwave produced a couple of years back. The video is called British Political History Condensed. It'll take you through thousands of years of British history - all the way from 1066 to 2008 - in just 8 minutes 49 seconds flat. The video also explains the British political system and the election process - with typical British humor of course. This little film was written and produced by us especially for the students of Georgetown Day School, here in DC. Hope you enjoy it. | |
