Blackadder the Third (1987)
review
In some ways, this is an accurate representation of elections in the 18th century. For example, in source a it says that people with land and money could only vote so yes not that many people had the vote, Also, in source d it says women kissed people for votes,Which means that fat corrupt tory land owners won the elections.
However, in other ways the episode is incorrect. For example, in source g it says the wigs won the elections more than the tories 379 wigs won seats in their constituencies against 178 tories Also, in source f it says that the wigs dominated parliament from 1915 to 1960,This means that
It exaggerates things like fat tory land owners won the elections.
overall i give this episode 5 stars because it's not all right but it is very funny.
