The Murder That Shocked Edwardian Britain | The Case of Dr. Crippen 

Well done in getting through a difficult script. 😁 Can't wait for the next one!

“…I can go myself.” “He can go himself.” “TAKE HIM!” “He can go himself!” “I can go myself!” I’ve scanned back and watched just this part 5 times now. Laughing fit & facepalm 🤦🏾‍♀️ every time. So glad y’all left in the outtakes of Paul being baffled & giggling by the sheer absurdity of that situation.

You laughing makes ME laugh, too - like crazy. Your humor is world class. Great telling of this old chestnut. Love your channel!

It's a good thing that Cora's friends didn't dole out vigilante justice because volcana would have popped Crippen like a grape

Hyoscine is regularly used as a medication so in this instance the adage that "the difference between medication and poison is dose and intent". I can't see Crippen being absolved of crime because regardless of whether or not Cora's body was in the basement, there was a human corpse bound up in Crippens pyjamas and Cora was never heard from again. It's quite hard to dispute that.

I found an old book in a used bookstore written by Ethel's lawyer. He wrote a short chapter on her. He wrote that she was a shy nervous woman and the lady who lived with her said she was becoming depressed and more despondent as she faced up to the real truth of her hopeless decision to be a mistress. This obviously affected Crippen as she began mentally deteriorating from it.

I do enjoy the idea of a guy who killed his wife and thought he’d get away with it because he’d disposed of the body so well ending up getting hanged anyway because there was a completely unrelated body under his floor.

I can't think of any reason why two guys should go to the toilet together at a social gathering, unless they're party poopers! LOL 😆

I know I've commended your ability to present these lessons in a calm and detached manner before but honestly that laughing fit was the greatest thing to grace my screen tonight. You have a delightful laugh!

Your fit of giggles was wonderful! Can't imagine bringing off "toilet" humour with a straight face first time! Humanized you even more than the whiskers do! Many thanks 😊😊😊😊

That was the most funny part of the story during the toilet part. I laughed out loudly as you laughed through that part! You have been such a talented historical story teller in all your videos! Keep up the good work 👍

Love your giggling at the bathroom story 🤣🚽🤣

1I just wanna say, I typically dislike true crime, but I watch your episodes obsessively. I appreciate the respect you show for the victims--something that I find a lot of true crime junkies seem to lack. (Also your facial hair is awesome. Not relevant to anything, but I think it looks nice.)

Just found your channel yesterday and already almost finished watching all your videos. Very entertaining and you yourself are super likable. Great job. I’m sure you’ll have TONS of subscribers in no time 👍🏻👍🏻

The toilet part was abdolutely hilarious. I love that even a serious mood could change instantly and that fit of giggles adds hilarity to the situation

This is the first video of yours that I've seen, and I have to say, your laugh at the ridiculousness of the berating was most endearing. Thank you for sharing this story.

I often wonder if Cora had staged the whole thing!?? This was a really good video, I really enjoyed it and it included facts I'd not heard before!!

This channel is SO great! Your research and presentation are fantastic. I can't believe that out of all the youtube videos I've seen covering the Crippen story, this is the first time I'm learning about the researcher who argues that it wasn't Cora's body at all. Wow, so fascinating, thank you for your amazing content!!!!!!

I just subscribed and I'm hooked. Your way of telling the story is mesmerizing. Your humor and laughter is contagious. I feel a sense of a comfort hearing your voice as it sounds like you have a kind, gentle and wise soul. I'm going to watch all your videos and will be eagerly waiting for the next video you post

I love the break there when you joke and laugh about a man escorting another man to the bathroom. Thank you for leaving that in. Love your channel and story telling style.

Your breakthrough laughing was a fresh touch. I so enjoy your stories and the style in which you present them. Catherine from Michigan.

What a terrific presentation! I love the fact that you left in your own outtakes; something that shows good humour as well as your penchant for keeping the relevant details, no matter their ridiculous nature. I would love to know WHY people continue to try to exonerate Dr. Crippen. Does he have extended family or is it merely a case that is frequently used in legal training?

I just found your channel. I like your story telling style.

"I will get past it" I understand buddy qwq

I want to know what happened to the rest of her. They only found a few pieces of flesh. No head, no limbs or skeleton. What did Crippen do with the remainder of the body??

Spending the weekend binge watching everything on this channel!

Like others, I just found your channel and am now binge-watching your uploads. Excellence! Keep going!

Captain Kendall of the Montrose was later Captain of the ill-fated Empress of Ireland. The Crippen case was the first murder case involving wireless telegraphy in the apprehension of the perpetrator.

Iove a bit of toilet humour 😂😂 another great show! Of course he or his mistress did it ! Keep them coming 👍🏻

"I can go mahself." "He can go himself." "I can go mahself!" Totally made my day 😂🥰 xo

Thanks for keeping in the bloopers. Wonderfully presented.

I am sure I can listen to Paul speak for hours without interrupting him at all, and never get bored!

Fine moustache sir! I had assumed Crippen was an Englishman and would never have imagined his name was Hawley Harvey.

What I don't understand is *why* Crippen couldn't just get a divorce -- infidelity had been legal grounds for divorce in England since 1857.

I'm so glad you keep the funnies in there, it's great! You have a nice laugh, keep on laughing :3

This is hands down my new favorite channel

I love seeing hosts getting tickled and showing their humorous (and human LOL) side. Wouldn’t mind seeing more of that at all. Great work all around 😊

I wasn't 100% sure if you were Scottish, like myself, but, when you 'broke character', you're accent really came through. Bingeing your videos, live the channel.

What a handsome laugh! And wonderful sense of humor!! I don't think I could have kept a straight face either! 😂 😂 Hello from Texas USA 🇨🇱🇬🇷🇺🇸☺️

This is so amazing, the hickup for the bathroom break made it hilarious 😂 Compliments for all these interesting episodes, discovered your channel a few weeks ago and absolutely love it

Your laughing bloopers about escorting the man to the bathroom had me laughing with you!!!! Lol. I loved those slip ups!!!

I’m very glad I found your channel. I love the stories you cover.

I have been watching these videos for a few months now. Love them so much. The work that is put into them is top notch. And oh my goodness, laughing at the absurdity of the dinner party situation just made my week!!

I'd forgotten about this case. Certainly a fair bit of shenanigans were afoot. Great video, as to be expected.

Love him breaking character! 😂

I wish they'd make a two part miniseries on this classic murder case.

More outtakes please! Watching you fall apart laughing made me enjoy an already fascinating video, even more.

So well done absolutely loved the fact you left the outtakes in of you laughing 😂 as it made me laugh too 👍🏻you really do this show so well it’s one of my favourite RU-vid channel’s 🥰

Me, listening but not watching as I color in my adult coloring book: /silent/ Him: Her friend, Strong Woman Ka- Me: /stops immediately to look at my phone screen/ Me: /sees the pretty buff lady/ Me: Nice 🥰🤌🏻

Where has this channel been all my life???!! Love it

Love your stories and your voice, wonderfully told

I love the old crime. Your story telling is well done. The accent and ombioance is calming. I watch many pod casters. I found you recently after years. I was always intrigued by hh Holmes and lizzy Borden. I am in USA but love love your podcast. Thank you!!

Love finding a new channel with fascinating content! Thank you for all the murder mystery cases and the way you present them! Cheers

Well, the doctor may not have murdered his second wife, but he certainly had no compunction about abandoning his son from his first wife.

What does a man say to another man while he’s accompanying him to the toilet? *Need a hand?!* 😏

Thank you Mr Brodie. I just recently discovered you. This series is right up my alley. I just love it. I will be looking around for more of your projects. After I watch every one of these, at least once.

I discovered your channel a few days ago. I could listen to you for hours!!!! I love the fact that you are keeping the bloopers 🤣 Keep on going! And I have to say this: It's so great to hear "consider to subscribe". I can't stand "... or this centipede will crawl over your face in your sleep" Thank you for being such a gentleman.

she was just mad because she wanted him to go with Paul to the bathroom. so then she could gossip unimpeded with Paul's wife. being a sensible fellow, he wouldn't have gotten the cue. he would have undoubtedly have reacted as you did. as to what i think happened, i rather think he was railroaded. some where out there, mz. cora likely is buried with whomever she ended up with. or alone, given that many a roamer tends to end up that way in the end of their sorry lives. but Not in the cellar. good grief, the man was in medicine. who would have Known better than to put a body in a place where anybody would have been able to catch a whiff. i know London was a stinky place. but i would hazard a guess that even so, in a polite society home, it would have been Definitely Noticeable when the corpse started to go bad. not to mention the fact that as it decayed, the floor of the cellar would have had a very visible dip in the shape and size of a grave. no, it's likely that if/when the body of whomever Was placed there, it was already in an advanced state. best guess? he was a medical man... the corpse may well have been one he put there but it was Not his wife. remember this is Also a common era of grave robbing to have medical cadavers to mess with. and as to the skin, how in the devil did they find such a juicy and Lively looking chunk of skin That Pink on a supposedly badly decomposed body? this was Not the time of when it was fully understood that there are methods of making skin "flesh up" to be recognizable as skin again. so basically, there may well have been Many crimes going on here but i doubt highly if one of them was murder. maybe malfeasance to the remains of a number of the already Dead, but not necessarily murder... at least Not of mz. cora. but that's just my thinking. honestly, i think the Biggest reason people are sure he did it is the whole, "he was a quiet man. mostly kept to himself." Everybody knows that's shorthand for "dude was a serial killer waiting to pounce!"

I absolutely love your videos! One of my top channels for sure and I only found you this post week!

You are doing an amazing job sir! Keep up the good work!

I hadn't heard about this case before. Also, thank you for leaving in the bit where you were laughing. ❤️ Nice to know I'm not the only one who cracks up when I shouldn't. 😊

bless whoever edits this for giving us precious laughing narrator content

Thank you for keeping in the outtakes! That was hilarious.

I’m binging through your vids , how have I missed you . Thankyou 👏

Absolutely love this programme and its host. Keep the amazing videos coming!

Excellent my friend! Enjoyed it immensely!

Thank you for not interjecting false photographs. It is funny that you presented homeopathic medicine as innovative for the time. Enjoyable to watch and pretty sure it is hard work to be a representative of historic information to the public. Thank you for all your hard effort. Can you provide sources for information?

Very well done sir. The way you put question of his guilt was interesting and intriguing. Thanks for yet another great presentation of controversial case.

I do love and appreciate the fact that you showed all the bloopers about the awkward bathroom situation in the video😆🥰

i can see this channel is going to get 100k soon

Persistent to the end. Great job, my friend. You know we all would have struggled with the same script

Just subscribed as I have seen a couple of your video's and I love them! Leaving the out takes in was a great idea. I don't know anyone could read that and not lose the plot! The absurdity of the situation, the man was big enough to go to the loo himself, I am sure he has done so for many a year! You have a wonderful way of telling a story!

Just subscribed! I love the stories you tell and how you tell them!!

Thank You! Love your work!

Excellent delivery of this story - most engaging, interesting and entertaining

This is pretty cool, you did good on this and not gonna lie, I even cracked up at the toilet part. Keep it up good sir.

You have a lovely voice for narrative and I really love your videos.☺️

Thanks for leaving in the chuckles!

Always find this story interesting, my maiden name was Crippen🙂

Loved the bathroom bit, it's good to break script at times. Gave us a right giggle!

I really do just like the laughter of trying to get that out at five minutes in. Perfect

🤣🤣🤣 I love your channel thank you for the uploads 👍👍

Love your channel as well!

Thanks for including the blooper. It made my morning brighter. 😁

I've just subscribed to Ur channel lately , I love the way you tell your stories you are absolutely amazing . Love the picture online at the Scottish kilt maker's by the way . 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙😁🌼

Oh my 🥺🥺🥺 Coldwater just north of where I live

Imagine being at a dinner table just screaming at you husband “TAKE HIM TO THE BATHROOM”

keep up the good work. Love from the lake District.

Love your channel❣️

So glad you didn’t retake the laughter over bathroomgate - made me laugh too! Fun channel.

Awesome video as usual could you please do one on the flannen lighthouse mystery

Loved the outtakes. I so enjoyed watching you get so tickled.

They're always "quiet." 😀 Just came across your channel recently, and I'm really enjoying all your videos.

I've known a few women like cora 🤦‍♀️ They are a pain to be around... but certainly don't deserve an untimely death. Why don't people just cut their losses and leave.

You really need to produce a new video every single day!!! Every one is a jewel.

Absolutely love your videos ❤️

I love your laugh! 😊❤️ Great job on the videos!❤️💞❤️

When you started laughing, I doubled over with laughter! Please show your humor in future episodes! It's so contagious!

i would love to know the history of the narrator to be honest, im sure you've got amazing stories to tell from your past

Thank you for this video. Not only the case was interesting, it also gave me a much needed giggle 😂
