The BBC tries to make Lord Byron cool in this new video, as if he needed any help. The King Blues update 'mad, bad, and dangerous to know' Byron with a punk rock twist.
Change for the better? Eh...

Would Lord Byron have had an accent anywhere near that working-class? I can barely understand the guy in the video.
I'll take "Tom O'Bedlam" any day.
No, he wouldn't have, although he did have a childhood brogue that he shed after coming into his fortune and lordship.
'She Walks in Beauty' was the first poem of Byron's I fell in love with when I was 16! Ahhh...
