Byron Updated



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...
