I'm a fan of Keith, so, uhm, now I need to know... what's his house like?

Cool casual greeting for the audience from Keith at 0:40 :)

[angrybeavers]

Keith is the man. Get this man a series on TV!

These books are probably the world's first tumblr fan blogs.

This makes me happy because it's basically a dedicated Tumblr or a fandom pinterest page, except with Victorian-level tech.  It's steampunk fandom blogging.

Please give us more of Keith! He's awesome!

I'd love Keith to start his own vlog about being a librarian for the Royal Society.

3:10 as if Brady didn't read my mind! Please make a full separate video on Newton, would be wonderful to see all the portraits. Each quick page turn was like another stab in my heart...

Are these books digitally scanned an online somewhere? And if not, why not?

[FeatsDaily]

I look forward to this every week. This episode in particular was incredibly unique. These tomes were clearly labors of love. Very cool.

I demand embellishment on Keith's introduction! You have become complacent with his glorious presence! Long live the Keith!

I believe I speak for the majority of the viewers when I say this..
"We would LOVE longer videos."
Personally I could go on for an hour! However you can start out smaller, 15 minutes maybe and then once a month we can have an hour long talk on a an especially interesting item thereby giving it the time it deserves.
Now I know it takes a lot of effort to even make videos of this length (and we are immensely grateful for them), but if you are up for it, so are we! :)
P.S: We would definitely need Keith present for the hour long videos! He's become quite a celebrity here.

Sir Newton's coat of arms are two crossed bones! That's so metal \m/

[andrehenchenski]

Incredible and amazing hello form Keith in the beginning of the video. Loved that.

[svenhoek]

Please keep The Royal Society videos coming!

Before comment sections, people had to make comic strips about people they didn't like

I love this channel and the fact that there is a young very enthusiastic guy presenting it makes it even better cos when I'm at home with the family I get told to shutup cos the soap operas are on, nice one Brady.

[JustOneAsbesto]

Huh. And here I thought the high watermark of fandom was Juggalos.

[md-nvrg]

That face before brady started talking is gold

[yousorooo]

So basically that's a hard copy version of Pinterest.
