Coming up with my interpretation of Inspector Archibald Fleet from Victoriocity.
I'm surprised that there isn't a lot of fan art, but that means more opportunity for exploration.
Only 3 clips left to go in the Archive. Next up is from Episode 34 - our chat with the fabulous @chrissugden.bsky.social and @jensugden.bsky.social - our first duo to guest on the podcast. Here they discuss times when it comes to editing narrative sketch shows. (1/3)

Other top-tier comedies are Victoriocity and The Offensive. The latter is basically what Armando Iannucci would make if he were writing a show about English football, so a great bet if you like Veep.
Never an imposter! Always a wealth of knowledge and excellent company!

The difficulty with being in covernment βas any honourable member of Parliament would tell you, if only they could be relied upon to answer the question β is that it is impossible to keep all of your constituents happy all of the time. In theory this didn't matter all that much, So long as you could keep enough of your constituents happy to return you at the next election β or, if not happy, then at least unable to imagine a better tomorrow.
The book I'm reading turns out to be called High Vaultage, a comic British steampunk mystery full of gems like this
yes yes yes! and let me add:
Life With LEO(h) π€
Fan Wars: The Empire Claps Back βοΈ
Un(con)Trolled π»

Cover of High Vaultage by Chris and Jen Sugden.
Dropping a few in one go - hope it helps if youβre looking for inspiration! First is High Vaultage, a murder mystery set in a steampunk version of Victorian London. Seen comparisons to Discworld, and while I canβt see that, there is a similar sense of humour. #books #bookskyππ
We were included in this wonderful listicle by @loujsutcliffe.bsky.social, alongside our beloved Victoriocity and Dracula the Danse Macabre as well as the London Necropolis Railway and Tales from the Alethian Society.
