Welcome to bonnie Scotland. |
00:01:13.409 - 00:01:15.620 |
It is the year of Our Lord 1828. |
00:01:15.703 - 00:01:19.247 |
And this is where I work, |
00:01:19.332 - 00:01:20.874 |
the market square in Edinburgh,
our capital city. |
00:01:20.959 - 00:01:23.794 |
They're calling this
the Scottish Enlightenment. |
00:01:26.839 - 00:01:29.633 |
Enlightenment? |
00:01:30.761 - 00:01:33.261 |
You could have fooled me. |
00:01:33.346 - 00:01:34.555 |
I mean,
look at the state of them. |
00:01:35.013 - 00:01:37.266 |
The only people round here
looking to be enlightened |
00:01:38.185 - 00:01:40.394 |
are the medical students. |
00:01:40.478 - 00:01:41.853 |
They come to study
at the feet of our famous doctors. |
00:01:41.939 - 00:01:45.316 |
Edinburgh is the medical capital
of the world. |
00:01:45.401 - 00:01:48.235 |
Get yourselves
an education there, lads. |
00:01:48.361 - 00:01:50.862 |
On one side of the city,
you have Barclay's School of Anatomy, |
00:01:50.947 - 00:01:55.492 |
And that's run by the esteemed surgeon
Doctor Robert Knox. |
00:01:55.577 - 00:01:59.831 |
Now some say that he's the finest
surgeon in all of Scotland. |
00:01:59.915 - 00:02:04.335 |
All I can say about Doctor Knox
is that he dresses well. |
00:02:04.420 - 00:02:08.673 |
Quite the dandy. |
00:02:08.757 - 00:02:10.717 |
Ah, there's nothing like starting off
a new term with a fresh corpse. |
00:02:10.801 - 00:02:15.346 |
- Is there, Patterson?
- Indeed, sir. |
00:02:15.431 - 00:02:17.348 |
Today I think I shall commence
by removing the top of the cranium. |
00:02:17.433 - 00:02:21.812 |
