People love that Lucy Worsley took the time to share this Viz letter

Poke Staff. Updated February 25th, 2021

The letters to Viz magazine are always a treat but it’s not often the person they’re about (well, sort of) joins in. So people loved it when historian and TV presenter Lucy Worsley did this.

Yes, you really can’t!

A worldwide lockdown and @Lucy_Worsley uses the 'f' word. I've seen everything now.

But with asterisks, I can’t believe @Lucy_Worsley has ever actually said it out loud, in anger, that anyone could hear.

And it turned out some people aren’t entirely familiar with the Viz letters page.

Was the use of the language to fool people into thinking it wasn't you but some other Lucy Worsley

It's a spoof letter from a UK magazine called Viz. They have a readers' letter page that is made up. My fave was a guy complaining that the BBC said the Wimbledon tennis tournament was just around the corner. But when he went round the corner, all he saw was a dog being sick.

In short …

That's got to be the quote for the cover of the Blu-ray release!
