nineveh_uk*Drum roll* BBC4 Saturday night once again brings us must-see Scandinavian programme, this time, costume drama.
1864! A year to echo down the ages. 1864! A year of blood and infamy, of heroism, of folly, of despair!
1864, the year of the Second Schleswig War!
*screeches to a halt*
Yes, it's an eight-part epic costume drama on the Schleswig-Holstein question, subject of about 15 minutes at A-level lo those many years ago. It stars the usual suspects of Danish TV, and has prompted dialect!fail wank on the internet. I can't wait.

Date: 2015-05-17 04:31 pm (UTC)I decided that I had to look up whether there was cow-wank. Having had the Danish spelling of cow provided by Google translate*, I have come up with the glorious headline of "[Politican] angry over gang-rape of cow". Actually, I thought that the cow-scene didn't really work in the drama, but were I a politician that is not the angle I would have chosen!
