Greetings and welcome to another episode of Dom Jolly Castle Slagger. Today we're
00:06
outside Doncaster, thank God, in a place called Conisbrough and there's our
00:12
first sight of it. It's looking all right, it's a castle. Right we're inside the castle
00:19
walls and obviously I don't need to tell you but this is one of the best preserved
00:24
keeps in the United Kingdom and I love a keep. Like Clifford's Tower in York, it's
00:31
just a shame they've got stairs and not the original escalators or lifts that
00:36
they would have had back in the day. So this is the view north and I suppose
00:41
this is why they built the keep in the end, is so that in the sort of 8th
00:44
century they could keep a watch out over this housing estate and probably trains
00:51
coming down from Scotland with hooligans I'd imagine. Very little has
00:57
changed since the 8th century. Down there you can see prisoners from Scotland
01:03
working on the grounds and they'll have been arrested for painting their arses
01:09
blue in public or whatever. It's incredible how time doesn't change.
01:14
Can I be honest, it's just beyond me why Channel 5 have not picked me up for this show.
