Ocado... I thought she said "car door", subtitles are sometimes useful :-) That 2500 year old ship really was the most interesting part, I had to look that up. Hope they recover the cargo.
So many people posted this. They went extinct about 8000 BC, but that doesn't mean that every mammoth that ever existed died on the same day. Some died long before then. The specimen they were discussing, for example, died ~130,000 years ago. Had it also died in 8000 MC, it would have been 120,000 years old, quite an age for such a large mammal.
I really like Steph. She did well as a panelist when she was on the first time, but she was a much more naturally funny host than I expected she would be. Her Tr*mp and hooker stories were *very* funny and her little grace-note reactions of Lady Bakewell especially were quite good.
I think you'll find that those are mastadons, not mammoths. Mastadons were native to woodsy areas, whereas mammoths were plains animals. Further, mastadons, while shorter than mammoths, were proportionately longer, and had entirely different dentition.
Not being from the UK, I'm now mildly curious about whether or not this is the first time Steph McGovern's neck tattoo has featured on camera. The back of the neck is usually not the most prominent part of a presenter...
The Salisbury poison was smeared on the door handle. This makes sense as not many people use the door knocker to gain access to their home as they already know they're not in 'cause they're outside.
25APR21, I just wanted to hear Steph say, '' Bette's Pegged It'' only insert 'Phil' bless ooh no don't....if Paul and Richard started with 2 then they only earned 5 points to Joan and Ian's 6 points earned. Joan and Ian are the actual winners. I think I have election fever.
crucci They have all sorts of facts going on here. Paul is right with the 400,000 years ago when woolly mammoths emerged as a species, the mammoth that was found dated from about 130,000 years ago, and most of them did go extinct 10,000 years ago except for isolated pockets. Was the sense of it lost in editing? Or did they just stop listening to each other? :)
@@nickkkyyy Oh, my. You are kidding, right? From her bio: "She had sixth form studies in early 1998. She won an Arkwright Engineering Scholarship in 1998, for her potential to be a future leader in the engineering industry. She studied maths, physics, design technology and business studies in the six form studies until 2000. She was awarded 'Young Engineer for Britain' at the age of 19, after saving Black & Decker £150,000 a year by improving production techniques used for the Leaf Hog product. Later, McGovern joined the University College London where she studied science communication and policy in the Department of Science and Technology Studies." Tell us about your education, Mr. Cox.
How do you find out that carrots make cement stronger? 😳 How do you get to that, might you have been having some stew outside and a bit of carrot fell into where you are building and it set? 🤣 That bolving is some hobby 🤣🤣🤣
The paintings were not of mammoths. Cave paintings made contemporaneous with mammoths showed humans about once except for two shaman in bison or elk head costumes. And certainly no one rode horses at the time of mammoths. These paintings may be from Africa since the stick-figure humans do show up in African rock paintings. Although I dont know of AFricans riding horses.
8000 BC was the mammoth's extinction date. 130,000 years was the age of the specimen that was found. Not all mammoths died at the same time. Some of them died long before the species went completely extinct. 🙂
The "headless chicken monster" is a type of sea cucumber. not remotely related to jellyfish. They dont have lungs. What they do jettison are their internal organs including intestines. Nice work. Forbes and the BBC.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
Rather disappointing having the moderator going on about "No one cares about it" (the ship). One of the things I most like about visiting England is actually how well-informed the average person is, and the great interest in archaeology and other aspects of the past. Has about the attitude of a 16 yr old or the marvelous persona of Philomena Cunk
"wooly mammoth became extinct around 8000 BC (before Christ) so about 139.000 years old!" How damn bad is HER math?? And everybody elses? It's about 10.000 years, not 130.000, you muck!
