A very interesting series that could've been even better had you chosen a different presenter. Or at least edited it differently. Everett gives me the creeps in this episode.
He was probably told to just be himself so channeled his inner Byron. A bit of inside info: everyone is fake and everyone is a creep, most just try to hide it. Some are better actors than others.
Everett i suppose is channeling Byron (or who he wishes Byron were) and comes across as obnoxiously obsessed with sex. which is fine for him, but not great in a presenter. It becomes all about Everett first, and Byron second. So little of the amazing poetry and so much about Rupe's fantasy sexual projections.
this man interrupts far too much. it’s hard to watch a narcissist pretend to elicit information from a guest expert, then have him blurt right over what they start to say and cut them off, never to return. Stop asking people if you’re not willing to let them share what they know.
There seems to be a competition especially amongst male presenters in UK: who could drop the bar of bad dressing even lower. It is painful to watch in particular if you are interested in a person like Byron and his time.
I'm trying to finish watching this but it's SO UNCOMFORTABLE I feel like I should be calling someone to make sure the women he encountered during filming are ok
WOW is Rupert Everett the creepiest. How did Absolute History even finish production on this episode? I kept noticing how all the women do the uncomfortable smile/laugh thing and try to make light but I guarantee they went home and called their friends about their hellish work day
Absolute History is not the one who produced this series or any of the series on this channel. They just post old Brittish television that is somewhat historica. This came out in 2009 under Blast! Flims. Thankfully there are only 2 episodes of this incredibly uncomfortable series. It looks like there were plans for more, but as some have so beautifully put it, Rupert Everett seems to want to be Byron. If Byron was around today, I can't imagine him becoming the same superstar he was in his time.
@@veronicafaber143 definitely agree w Byron alive today not being famous. The average world citizen can’t name a living poet - (not counting musicians)
Excellently told Rupert. Flamboyant, sure, slightly over the top, maybe. But to tell a story as complex as this needs the flair he added. I dont usually sign on for the 1.5 hour long ones, but this one got me. Great watch.
Then you must have known about all this? Cool. I’m not sure about what I think of Rupert, though he could have skipped the VD test and I had no idea he was talking about Don Juan with his pronunciation, but I figured it out. In spite of the presenter I managed to learn a few things. I’m just getting started.
@@billgreen1861 How do you know that woman was his friend? It appears she’s there to give historical commentary. Everett being gay has nothing to do with anything. He shouldn’t be humping someone or grabbing at them, period.
Too much a simplistic and bloated summation of Byron's ending up in Greece. Lord Byron firmly believed in Greek Independence--it wasn't just an ego-driven Operatic Finale of a fame-driven wastrel.....
why do you damned English think that your pronunciation is the last word. WRONG! the name is DON (long o) &WAHN. Please try to learn Spanish if not other languages!
As a hero, no. He didnt fight in the cause. However he was a major source of money, supplies and support throughtout the war and he helped awaken europe. He is well regarded for that.
STOP interrupting the girl dude.
And grabbing her, dang
Yep. Total narcissist. Invites a specialist on the subject, proceeds to run her over and completely disregard much of what she could have shared.
This guy wants to be Byron haha
It’s an actor, you know right
Delusions of grandeur.

@@fvckyoutubescensorshipandt2718 I agree with everything you said except "everyone is a creep"
@@samuelcareen5563 It's true though, good luck proving otherwise unless everyone somehow woke up telepathic tomorrow.
I think no other presenter could've covered Byron better than him. He's being more Byron than Byron himself.
I think Everett's tone is perfect. He is showing us the darker side of Byron. Well done, mate!

@@victoriaolson8985 Ha! Only a Liberal would reply like that!
@@miguelflores1754 He interrupts men and women.

OMG I felt the same way! Some of the gestures he made would warrant a few sexual harassment lawsuits and its all caught on tape! 😡
Why wouldn't they be?
They were his friends and they know he is gay.
@@ZoeyCLR78, calm down those were his friends and they know he is gay.
@@billgreen1861 I am calm. What are you talking about. Those women don't look comfortable at all.
Don "Joo-en"? Seriously? Omg he flat out blasts his guide in Venice (twice) for having an affair and then the camera focuses on her legs.
yeah that is how they pronounce it. English major. Actually read Byron ages ago.
This show is insane. Rupert Everett needs a trip to the asylum. But he couldn't touch Byron's knickers as a lover and poet.

This made me uncomfortable. The presenter is unprofessional and offputting.
He is mostly known for taking part in the war of liberating Greece. And you bet you don't want to know what happened to Turk-Albanians.
I dont like Rupert in this way... I barely learned anything 🤣😂😂😂

24:48 "Venice, where he would put in the groundwork-"
Me: "AND LAY IN THE PIPEWORK AMIRITE?!"
I enjoyed the info and watched the whole thing but that guy was kind of obnoxious.
Everett is a washed up forgotten actor. He is a legend in his own mind. LOL.
14:57
Did I just witness an assault?
Yes, yes you did. I stopped watching after that.
Oh, gross!
Most definitely!
Calm down those were his friends and they know he is gay.

Cape Sunion. Been there.
Why they reupload this
This is the second part I think
Creepy!
What a waste of time... a pathetic infatuation and poor taste.
Did Lord Byron make Rupert Everett crass and egotistical? Or was RE always this way. Yuck!
This is unwatchable. I don’t know the presenter, but I just can’t stomach 47 minutes of him… not even for Byron.
What a vulgar man. Byron and the fellow doing this show both. I suppose they would take it as a badge of honor.
I didn't recognize Rupert Everett at all I thought it was Justin Theroux
I've watched the first five minutes and won't be watching more. Byron was a nasty mean jerk ew
Agreed. One of the early examples of a malignant narcissist with an addiction to sex.
It was history and it must be told, whether you like it or not. You think Christopher Columbus, was a saint?
So much hate in the comments. I enjoyed this vid! Y’all chill!
You enjoyed the outright sexual harassment the presenter made towards the women he spoke with?
@@ZoeyCLR78 he's playing a character. Hate the character not the actor.
@@ZoeyCLR78, Those were his friends and they know he is gay and was acting out the part.
@@billgreen1861 what is it with you. Those women clearly looked uncomfortable.

This looks nothing like Rupert

Wtf is this.
I'd have a bit of in-out with my sis too if she was hot. Sadly, she is not, even if she did have a crush on me at one time.
"Greek Hero" i dont think that the Greeks celebrate Byron as a hero, the GREEKS.
As a hero, no. He didnt fight in the cause. However he was a major source of money, supplies and support throughtout the war and he helped awaken europe. He is well regarded for that.
@@Veriox22 His statue stands at the Garden of Heroes in Messolonghi Greece.
Thanks everyone for the heads up of the presenter. I choose not to watch
he is obnoxious.....difficult to continue watching with his inane and totally off-the-mark comments.
This was so vulgar, I had to turn it off. I am here to learn history, not this.
