Upstart Crow — S03E01 — Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be!

00:00:20 And Titania, the fairy queen, awakens in the forest glade

00:01:31 I was expecting at the very least a funny name.

00:02:33 A magic potion, yes. Punters love all that.

00:03:45 clever, gobby birds like you who remain unmarried be thought witches.

00:04:59 A puckish sprite, a will-o'-the-wisp in the employ of the fairy queen.

00:06:21 Yeah. I thought you were about to tell us about meeting a fairy.

00:07:32 And many a lusty-trousered sap-bursting roister had plighted his troth before me,

00:20:55 ‘Tis clear this soothing balm of which he speaks

00:22:11 Just a fine brain and a firm resolve.

00:23:16 I'm sorry, my lord, but I am spoken for.

00:24:33 There is sorcery afoot!

00:25:44 Hang on.

00:27:04 adding their glazed, forced, teeth-gritted garglings

00:28:38 next week.
