a man just talked to me about a bridge for 8 minutes and I was totally hooked... Jay Foreman is what they call 'different gravy'

[MohammedMuaawia]

Captain Disillusion, a techmoan parody, and obscure infrastructure facts. Everything I love in a video, can't wait for the next one.

[BobofWOGGLE]

I want the editor to know that that "clap is out of sync but speech is in sync" gag was noticed and appreciated.

[legoinsomniac]

Whoa super generous of Captain Disillusion to let Alan add to his acting folio by being in this. What a great boss.

[vexingvexillologist]

The way you depicted Marc's half-English, half-French heratige was utterly brilliant

[sponsoredmessage]

Not sure what I love more, Jay Foreman being exceptional as usual, the cast you've managed to assemble, or that Techmoan impression.

[SaintPhoenixx]

Captain Disillusion, Alasdair Beckett-King and Adam Blampied turning up in this series is a real Dickens of a twist.

[dangerale]

Love the subtle inclusion of the cue mark at the top right corner of the video before the sponsor segment (8:05) - I also noticed it in the last video. I remember moving to the UK in the late 2000's where some television channels still used these cues to visually signal the live broadcaster to prep following adverts. Very subtle addition!!

[SirMildredPierce]

As an American, I appreciate the fact that you finally did an episode about the most famous bridge in the world, London Bridge.

[MaJuV]

The "surrounding architecture" gag really made me laugh out loud. Unexpected and accurate - That's how a good joke really works :-D

[WouterWeggelaar]

The amount of cameos, references and parodies is great in this one!
The TechMoaned sponsor segment is glorious

[Billybobble]

For the amount of channels I sub to, not once has Jay been a suggestion from the YT algorithm, it took a comment from Tom Scotts recent vid with Beardyman to get me here, and here I am at the current end of the Unfinished London playlist which I have just binged.
I LOVE this channel and I cannot wait to explore more of these brilliant videos, and I couldn't even give a toss about London as I live in Cambridgeshire.
The information, the humour, the subtle edits, the tiny details, the cameos, good sir, I applaud your work. Thank you.

[Jacktoro]

After that ending, I now need a Techmoan / Jay Foreman crossover

[volvok]

The Techmoan impersonation is absoletuly genius!

[Steve_McMillen]

The fact that Brooklyn Bridge is older than Tower Bridge was a real surprise to me. The architecture of Tower Bridge really creates the illusion that it was built in the 14th century or something! Fascinating for sure.

[xergiok]

The Tower of London is hardly gothic. It's in typical Norman style, so therefore romanesque. The bridge is in gothic revivalist style because that was sort of the 19th century romanticised view of medieval architecture. Rather than matching the style of the Tower, it's more of an idealised attempt at creating this (faux-)medieval milieu.

[lindybeige]

What an excellent cast! Some were so famous, that I recognised them.

I think some shots of the interiors of the bridge would have been good, as they are pretty flipping (see what I did there?) impressive.

[VideoGameStoryTime]

That part where John Finnemore showed up made this video a better crossover than Avengers in my book.

[ExpeditionThemePark]

Oh I will for sure be tuning in next time for another very exciting episode of Unfinished London.

[TheJanaRina]

I love how this kinda feels like old school youtube where people would collaborate for sketches and videos and not just for views
