Ep. 8 - A Most Historic Week for Modern Britain
The week commencing 5th September 2022 will go down as one of the most memorable - and historically significant - in recent British history. On the Monday, we found out who would be the next Prime Minister. On the Tuesday, both the outgoing and incoming PM's met with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to carry out the required formalities in this changing of the guard.
Liz Truss' appointment as political leader was overshadowed when a mere 2 days later, the Queen herself passed away, bringing to a close a truly historic 70-year reign as Britain's head-of-state.
Chris discusses his thoughts on these 7 days, some of the often-overlooked societal impacts will be, whilst also touching on just some of the world events that occurred during Queen Elizabeth's life on the throne.

Ep. 7 - House of Frankenstein, Bath
To commemorate the recent first anniversary of the attraction's launch, in this episode Chris features the impeccable immersive House of Frankenstein, situated in the centre of Bath.
Over the years, it has seldom been acknowledged that Mary Shelley wrote much of her groundbreaking novel in the city itself, giving the House of Frankenstein even more importance of its own, as the first attraction of its kind to pay homage to Shelley.
This episode features highlights from Chris' interview with co-creators Jonathan Willis & Chris Harris, recorded last year for Dead Men Talk.

Ep. 6 - The Chained Oak at Alton, Staffordshire
In this episode, Chris takes a look at the legend of 'The Chained Oak' near the village of Alton, in Staffordshire.
Around 1821, it is believed that the Earl of Shrewsbury fell victim to a beggar woman’s curse after he shunned her appeal for charity whilst he travelled home to Alton one night. ‘The Chained Oak’ tree still stands as a symbol of this legend.
In 2000, Alton Towers theme park adopted their own take on the story in their newest attraction at the time – ‘Hex: The Legend of The Towers’.

Ep. 5 - Hound Tor & Kitty Jay's Grave
Ep. 4 - Portsmouth Historic Dockyard #1 - The Mary Rose
The Mary Rose lay on the sea-bed for over 400 years before being raised in 1982, witnessed by millions worldwide on BBC television. Today you can visit the shipwreck and many of her 19,000 artefacts that have been recovered over the last four decades at the Mary Rose Museum and the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
Suffice to say, there are few locations which allow you to step back in time and immerse yourself in a moment of British history quite like this one!
