Episode 6: History

Summary

Alexander Armstrong hosts an edition based on the subject of history, as Kate Williams, Adam Hart-Davis, Janina Ramirez, Andrew Graham-Dixon, Ben Willbond, Laurence Rickard, Lars Tharp and Tim Wonnacott try to come up with the least likely correct answers to a series of questions posed to members of the public. Richard Osman is the man with the answers

Review

David Butcher

“Goodness this is a clever line-up,” gasps Richard Osman as he surveys the guests. In a history-themed group, there’s Professor Kate Williams, Adam Hart-Davis, Dr Janina Ramirez and Andrew Graham-Dixon, plus a pair of antiques experts and, flying the flag for showbiz, two alumni from Horrible Histories. But they only pretend to be historical figures – what do they know?

It’s a typically warm and enjoyable show, but to keep up you might want to apply your mind in advance to which musical the song Send in the Clowns comes from and/or the punchline to the joke “What do you call a fly with no wings?”
