Flogging Miracle Tea at the Great Exhibition in 1851 (ft. Chris Reading)
Description
Writer and film director Chris Reading joins the PastMaster crew for a journey to Victorian London and the Great Exhibition.
With a mission to acquire serious power under the guidance of notorious conman Gregor MacGregor, Chris sets out in his quack-mobile for Hyde Park in 1851.
Peddling tea that comes in bags, shiny thermos flasks and plush toy lions, he boasts that his brew is guaranteed to make those who imbibe it live at least 5% longer.
But are the Victorians gullible saps or will they smell a rat? And can Chris secure the knighthood his heart desires?
Chris's film Time Travel is Dangerous is available to view online now.
Contains: bad language, historical anachronisms and con artistry. But no drugs, disappointingly.
