Under the cut is an embed of a very early 10-minute color film of London in 1927. This is the sort of world Bertie and Jeeves would have lived in.

Thank you! Thames is a he? I always thought about it as her :)

I found that a bit odd myself, but some rivers are apparently "he".

(It's 'cause the Latin name for the Thames "Tamesis" is masculine. So the Romans evidentally thought that the Thames was a he-river, like the Tiber.)
