サマリー
あらすじ・解説
On a lighter note this week, the dragons delve into a well loved trope which has its origins in folk and fairy tales, shifting and adapting for audiences over the centuries to reflect the socio economics of the time. The clever servant-foolish master dynamic is one which is still enjoyed today, balancing inequalities of social position, wealth and status with intellect, cunning and personability. The trope is a shapeshifter - played for laughs, delivered straight and used as supporting story. This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at why.
On the slab this week - The King's Knight, Blackadder the 3rd, Jeeves and Worcester and many more.
Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic
