If you host the episode with Jay Foreman, you might also as well shout out his counties video for a better explainer of the situation with counties.

2:05 that sign is actually famous for being a failure. Someone sent the English text to a translator and got back the text in Welsh, so they made that sign. But what it actually says is "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated"

The funny thing about the Welsh sign seen at 2:00 is that the Welsh part translated into English says "I'm not in the office at this time. Send any work to be translated" :D

Just to clear up the Commonwealth Realms thing, they're not technically ruled by the British monarch, instead, they have their own independent monarchies, like the King of Canada, King of Australia, King of the Bahamas etc. It's just the person who fills those positions happens to be the same guy, Charles III. This ensures that all the realms are completely independent of each other, politically and constitutionally.
So, for example, if Britain abolished its monarchy, Charles III would still be King of 14 other countries.

As I Brit if feels fitting to be the first comment. Although to clarify Barbs:
1. Northern Ireland is classed as the 4th constituent nation by the UK government and many Brits will refer to it as one.
2. The period between 1603 and 1707 is known as The Union of The Crowns. King James was king of England, Scotland and Ireland but all of the Kingdoms were still fully governed by their own parliaments.
3. The modern devolved administrations in the Celtic constituent nations have varying degrees of autonomy. Scotland has the most devolved power, Wales doesn’t have as much and Northern Ireland has a good amount but this is sometimes handed back to the UK government if the Storemont assembly breaks down and can’t meet, which happens frequently.
As you’d expect I’m eagerly anticipating the UK episode Barbs, especially as to how you deal with the famous people section as there are so many!

Good video, but there's one thing I'd like to correct. While Scottish Gaelic is only spoken by a very few number of people, Scots is still a fairly prominent minority language in Scotland. The exact numbers are disbuted, but about 30% of the population of Scotland are reported as being able to speak fluent Scots and most Scottish people will use a few Scots words in their regular vocabulary.
It's a little complicated though because even though UNESCO and the UK government have recognised it as a minority language, some people still argue that it's a dialect of English and the history behind it all is fairly complicated. Plus since the language isn't really taught in schools and most of the population does regularly use some Scots words, it can be hard to differentiate between someone speaking full Scots and someone speaking English with a Scottish dialect.
Overall, my point is that even though Gaelic is an endangered language (I think it's a bit harsh to say it's dying since it's decline has slowed massively over the past couple of decades), Scots is still fairly widely spoken.
Also don't forget about Cornish in the actual episode, for such a small area the British isles has a lot of languages.

Northern Ireland wasn’t added to the U.K. in 1921. All of Ireland was part of the U.K prior to that. The south decided to leave thus leaving the north as the only part of Ireland still in the U.K.

Hey, Guernsey / Alderney resident of the Channel Islands here. Just thought I’d let you know the languages here really is mostly English with a few people that learn French. Each island had their own dialect of French that has pretty much completely died out.however they do live on in weird ways such as people from Alderney calling A Garbage dump an “ impot “ with a silent T. One last thing, Baliwick is pronounced as “ Bay-lee-Whick “.

I was hoping this would explain all 650 parliamentary constituencies

Hi, I am from Jersey and I thought I would add a few things if people are interested in know a bit more about what Barby’s explanation of the Channel Islands. Firstly, it is important to say that the Crown Dependencies are NOT a part of the UK, though we are under the sovereignty of the UK. This means that we are autonomous in all aspects except defence and foreign relations, though often Guernsey and Jersey do engage in their own foreign relations anyway.
Also, despite being called ‘bailiwicks’ (pronounced as 'bay-lee-whick btw), Guernsey and Jersey are not ‘governed’ by the bailiff. Nowadays, each island is governed by a ‘Chief Minister’ that functions in the same was a prime minister, in that they are an elected official and govern the island through a council of ministers. The Baliff nowadays is just the head of the judiciary who also sits as the speaker of our government, hence why we are still called a ‘bailiwick’. Like, the Isle of Mann; Jersey and Guernsey also have a Lieutenant Governor, who is the King’s representative to the island and is who rubber-stamps all our laws.
And yes we have our own languages of Jèrriais and Dgèrnésiais, which are dialects Norman. They are only slightly intelligible with French and only contain a handful of English loan-words (there are almost as many words from Old-Norse too). It is an endangered language so only a few thousand people speak the languages, though there is an initiative to teach the languages at schools and nurseries. There are also in-person and online courses for adults, as well as lots of material online if anyone is interested.

The welsh do take their language seriously. I lived in southern Argentina and there's a community of welsh people there and you can see signs in welsh, towns with welsh names, and of course many people speak the language.

Fun Fact: The Channel Islands was once part of the Duchy of Normandy. Because of the Channel Islands wasn't reconquered by the French in the Medieval Period, the British monarch is the Duke of Normandy according to the Island inhabitants.

Fun fact Malta was supposted to become the 5th member of the UK in the early 60's. A vote was even held with over 70%saying yes. However pressure from mant countries including the UK didn't want Malta to become aa member of the UK as it was 'an act of imperialism.' Kinda funny how America tried the same thing in the late 70s with the Panama canal. However still to this day there are people on Malta who wish for it to become either a 5th member of the UK or even a crown dependency (the crown dependency one is a little foggy so I may be wrong but feel free to tell me so.)
After WW2 Winston Churchill wanted to annex the Danish territory the Faero Islands (into its own overseas territory) since the British did occupy them so the Zazis couldn't get them when denmark fell. However the old way of colonialism was long dead so it never happened but considering that the islands picked p a lot of british culture I wonder what would have happened if the islands were allowed to vote on the matter.

I don't know if you knew about this Geography Now, but the Pitcairn Islands had a huge controversy a few years ago detailing abuse between the male and female residents of the island. Just wanted to inform you about it.

8:49 Small mistake: They are the Pitcairn Islands, not the Pitcarin Islands as the video and pronounciation suggest.

You forgot to mention that the Falkland Island people voted to remain British
