Manage episode 353426685 series 3294270
Enjoy a spectacular bender in Victorian London with one of the 19th century's most prolific party animals, Henry Weysford Charles Plantagenet Rawdon-Hastings.
It's a convivial tale of alehouses, drinking,rat baiting, dancing girls, drinking, outrageous pranks,menacing Scandinavians....... and drinking.
- Why should you always dance with a pocketful of coins?
- Who looked like "a giant blancmange"?
- What is so dangerous about Ratcliffe Highway?
- How much booze can four gentlemen of quality put away in a night?
All will be revealed in episode 30 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
Come on an exhausting tour of public houses , taverns, and gin palaces alongside a pioneer of drinking culture and arch enemy of the Temperance Movement. The alcohol consumption is heroic, the drunkenness extreme and somewhere among the gin haze is a bit of social history. Grab a beer, say 'Damm your eyes' to prohibition and enjoy this episode...God Save Queen Victoria!
