As to the age of this: this was the origin of Philomena Cunk. It was after this gained popularity that she got the full-length episodes/series Cunk on Britain, and then because that was so popular, they went on to do Cunk on Earth.
I'm really hoping for ANOTHER series :D

While it's not exactly what she meant, there were cases in which the actor who re-enacted a crime for the police drama turned out to be the perpetrator. There was such case in Poland, where the local Crimestoppers programme had someone who later turned out to be the murderer play a background role in their re-enactment.

fun fact mice is the plural of mouse in reference to the animal but mouses is the plural of mouse in reference to the piece of tech

"They are named after Plato and reference his writings on different types of love. The term platonic was initially used to mock non-sexual relationships, as it was considered ridiculous to separate love and sex, but eventually this connotation faded away, leaving us with today's notion of close friendships."

The laws of Sumeria (Code of Ur-Nammu) predate the Code of Hammurabi by several hundred years.   This is not necessarily the oldest set of laws, just the oldest one yet discovered.

My favourite Churhill quote us when he arrived home drunk and his houekeeper remarked " Mr Churchill, you are drunk!" , to which he replied " and you are ugly, but in the morning I will be sober"

There was the case of Thomas Myers in the town of Lebanon, Warren County, Ohio, in 1871. He accidentally shot himself during a bar brawl. A lawyer figured this out and while demonstrating how it happened he killed himself too. "The unfortunate advocate had demonstrated the reasonableness of his theory," reported the Leeds Times, "but at the cost of his life." It gets better "Hardly was he in his grave before another man killed himself while trying precisely in the same way to demonstrate how the lawyer had met his death"

7:47 For Mr Terry and anyone interested in a fun fact. The UK police force was founded by Home Secretary at the time Sir Robert Peel in 1829. Officers were nicknamed "Peelers" or "Bobbies" after Peel. The aim was to create an organized, preventive police force to maintain public order and safety.

The term "police" comes from the French word "police," itself derived from the Latin "politia," meaning "civil administration." Sir Robert Peel's new force adopted this term to emphasize their role in maintaining public order and safety, distinguishing them from military forces.

The "Turing Shroud" joke went right over your head.

The GPS Satellites have to have a correction factor to allow for the difference in time due to their height of orbit ...

Well, when I was kid I believed that there was a tiny person on the ATM, counting your money and giving it to you 😂😂😂

I thought teachers were like Borg and after school, they went into the basement to recharge.

38:19 I also thought, as a kid, that street lamps (the white ones that illuminated the road) were actually activated by birds that would land and peck on a button. I believed this because the only time I saw birds on the lamps was when they turned on.

Worth mentioning about Pythagoras that he actually founded an entire religion based on math, music, and rituals.  The religion continued around the Mediterranean for almost 400 years.  He was one of the most influential thinkers of all time.

That's one of the reasons canada got rid of the penny.  If I remember correctly when we stopped using them, they cost around 3c to make a single penny.

Churchill was relected as Prime Minister in 51-55! So he was a peacetime PM after the war. He was Queen Elizabeths first PM.

I like to think that she is a representative from an alien race trying to understand how Earth works, and this documentary is what she believes Earth to be, shown to the alien race.
