History of the week -Victorians PART 1!

There is ALOT to get through in this subject so it'll be in two parts. One part this week and one next week. Oh and we managed to get a mini interview with Henry VIII!! So let's get on with the show!! This week I'll talk about the villains and other gruesome stuff and next week it'll be more on Queen Victoria herself. Anyway! Here are some fun facts about villains!!

• Jack the Ripper, one of the most infamous criminals has NEVER been caught. He's dead now...probably. *evil laugh*
• Mary Ann Cotton would kill children and her husbands with arsenic then say they had a stomach ache!
• Sweeney Todd is a fake criminal which the Victorians made up!
• You could watch public executions. NASTY!!

Let's begin with my personal favourite. Jack the Ripper. He's identity still remains a secret today. No-one has a clue who he is. He killed 9 women in one year then stopped. Hmm. I would have an interview with him but nahh he might murder us too. Anyway he was called Jack the Ripper because "he ripped out women's guts after killing them"  Gruesome guy! There have been many theories of who it could be but it's never been proven. Now lets move onto another gruesome subject: FOOD!

Yeah yeah you're all sitting there thinking "Food is nice, not nasty!" What if I told you an eccentric Victorian, Dr William Buckland ate

1. Elephant Trunk
2. Roast Giraffe
3. A mole
4. Stewed bluebottles
5. Alligator
6. Mice on Toast
7. Squirrel Pie
8. Mice in Batter
9. The mummified heart of the French King Louis XIV
10. Roast Ostrich!

"EW!" Ew indeed. Him and his son ate every single one of those things. Now what else can I say that will make your stomach churn? Ooo what about an interview with a genuine Victorian hustler! He'll tell us all the Victorian slang plus a few tricks!!

Host: HELL-O! Good Afternoon and welcome to another History of the week interview! Today with have a guy called George to go through it with us.
George: 'Ello Tom Tug!
Host: My name's Bryan!
George: Oh no you got it all wrong, Tom Tug means Idiot!
Host: Oh hahaha!! I see. Well can you give us some advice?
G: Sure. If someone calls ya a Tom Tug, Doddy, Gump or a Strut noddy give 'em a ding on coconut!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
H#2: Good Afternoon King Henry.
HVIII: Ahh hello! Now as I was saying about my wives last week. I'm allowed to flirt with others. My wives shouldn't! BUT the court wouldn't let me say that so I said Anne Boleyn is the Devil's child because she had six fingers on one hand.
H#2: Ahh and Cathrine Howard?
HVIII: She flirted with others too. She was very young, and pretty! (She was 19!)
