Marcus Brigstocke leads the cast in this comedic take on a historical radio show, creating imaginative and humorous archive recordings from the past two millennia. The series features funny and occasionally gruesome scenes, reminiscent for fans of Horrible Histories but tailored for a more adult audience.

With the combined comedic talents of Brigstocke, Danny Robbins, and Dan Tetsall—known for their work on The Museum of Everything— sharing the writing and performing with Claire Downes, Stuart Lane, Ben Kozo & more listeners can expect a series filled with clever humour and historical satire. Each episode explores different eras, bringing history to life through a blend of comedy and historical context.
