…BBC's latest Scandi drama import. "It's a wet, midweek October morning in Copenhagen, and I'm heading by taxi to a cinema in the trendy Norrebro district – all young people on bikes, juice bars and artful graffitti. here for the press launch of 1864, a sweeping new historical drama set against Denmark's disastrous war with Bismarck's Prussia that saw the loss of a vast chunk of territory and lasting trauma to the Danish psyche. Apart from a reporter from Al-Jazeera, I'm the only British journalist present; indeed I'm button-holed by a lady from Danish radio curious to know why I had bothered to make the journey over from the UK to watch a drama about a historic conflict that surely, she says, is of only local interest.

I have tried tracking down a source for the quote by Palmerston but haven't been able to do so. Everyone seems to know that he said it, but I can't find an authoritative source for the quote. If anyone knows of a source for the quote, please let me know. |

as for the quote I have a feeling it is one of those attirbuted but not verified quotes. I will look at my Quintin Barry work to see if he gives a source for it in his chapter on the 1864 war. |
