Synopsis

Bill Snibson, a chancer from Lambeth Walk in South London, is informed that he has been discovered to be the long-lost heir to a title and castle which he can claim provided he is able to convince his new relations that he has enough aristocratic bearing.

gollark: The best estimate I'm aware of is that humanity has a 1/6 chance of ceasing to exist within a century, although this says nothing about societal collapse which doesn't wipe out everyone.

gollark: Anyway, if humanity utterly implodes by 2040, it probably won't *just* be climate change.

gollark: Reversed stupidity is not intelligence, and it isn't like everyone is stupid at everything anyway.
