Cast list

The series made a visual trope of, as Ackroyd walked around London or was sitting in his study, the persons of famous and anonymous historical figures would fade in and out and act their testimonies. These were played, in alphabetical order, by:-

gollark: It's kind of a shame everything ended up going with *JSON*, of all things, since it's such a bad serialization format in many ways.
gollark: My site actually does manage to get at least *partial* offline support, using the service worker API.
gollark: PWAs are very neat, you can even get offline capability.
gollark: Oh, and for the achievements system and (obviously) interactive projects.
gollark: My website is designed as *mostly* static, but has some JS for comments and such.
