I finally got round to uploading part 2, link to part 1 here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IACDcwUKpRc A few more corrections I have to add:
- I state in the video that Charles addresses the crowd at his execution. I should have pointed out that he actually only gave his speech to the people present on the scaffold, mainly the Colonel of the guard.
- I state that there were 120 judges at the King's trial. No idea where I got that from, it was actually 135 of which only 68 turned up and only 59 signed the warrant.
- I should have also pointed out that witnesses at the trial gave their evidence in the Painted Chamber, elsewhere in Westminster. Charles had no way of hearing their evidence nor of questioning the witnesses.
- There are one or two spelling mistakes, namely at 1:49 I misspelled 'favourable', also I might have spelt Alec Guinness' surname wrong a few times

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺

Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
