Crime And (No) Punishment and Phew! What a Scorcher!

On this week’s episode, Sarah is asking why a judge thought it was a good idea to let three rapists walk free. And Peter would like to know what the deal is with ridiculous centigrade temperatures. And the pair marvel over Peter’s rakish black eye and pore over our latest mailbag to answer listener questions on whether devolution really can work and is the blueprint for politics on a national scale. The merits of the free bus pass, compulsory voting works for Australia, so why not us? And, perhaps more importantly, why parenting used to be akin to NATO and that was a good thing.

Royal Blind Dates - Part 1

Which aristocratic lady ‘swiped left’ when Henry VIII went looking for a new wife? Listen to find out! In the first of two episodes, Royal historians Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams look at the highs and lows of Royal first encounters. Welcome to the strange world of regal dating: marriages at first sight, bedding ceremonies, and proxy consummations. Pity the poor teenage girls who dutifully married Kings who were much older - or preferred the company of men in their bedchambers! But Cupid’s Royal arrows do sometimes find their mark. Kate and Robert reveal that it’s possible for Royals to find ‘true love’.

Prawn Again, Bombs and Displaced People

On this week’s episode, two worlds collide as Sarah asks why prawn cocktail and such old school culinary delights as beef bourguignon and banana splits are back on the dinner menu. And Peter will be asking if our policy of bombing foreign countries is driving up mass immigration to the UK. And the pair pore over our latest mailbag to answer listener questions on whether Kemi Badenoch is really a true-blue conservative or more in the mould of someone like libertarian Javier Milei? The merits of the latest cinematic take on the life of Charles De Gaulle, the shortcomings of the Criminal Cases Review Commission and, finally, what did the 60s ever do for us?

Voting for Beginners and the End of the PM

On this week’s episode, Peter will be telling us why first past the post is a much more preferable voting model to proportional representation. And sticking with the electorate, Sarah will be asking if there should be a general election if Keir Starmer finally falls on his sword. And the pair pore over our latest mailbag to answer listener questions on the ‘sovereign’ bases in Cyprus, go back and forth on the latest report on the October 7th attacks. Why has the city of Coventry gone to wrack and ruin since Peter left and do either enjoy the cut and thrust of social media? Peter, you may be surprised to find, is all for it.

The Madness of King Donald

On this week’s episode, Sarah would like to know why the social agencies and government infrastructure let down the victims of the Southport attack so badly and Peter would simply like to ask: has Donald Trump finally gone mad? And the pair pore over our latest mailbag to talk about Peter’s time as a member of the International Socialists, not least the donkey jacket he wore. Why cabs are comparable with Concorde when it comes to cost. How cocaine might hold up the Colombian economy. And, finally, the pair mull over their favourite historical monarchs.

Elizabeth I: Love & Death (Part 3)

When you receive more than twenty-six proposals from Europe’s most powerful men, why should you refuse them all? In this final episode of our trilogy on Elizabeth I, we step into the most personal — and most politically dangerous — question of her reign: marriage. From the moment she becomes queen, Elizabeth is treated as a prize. Kings, princes and emperors line up to claim her, each proposal promising alliance and stability. At the centre of it all stands Robert Dudley: not a king, nor even a prince, but the man Elizabeth trusts most. Their closeness is undeniable. Yet when Dudley’s wife is found dead at the bottom of a staircase, everything changes. Suspicion, scandal and political fear close the door on the one match that might have been possible. From there, the suitors keep coming. Philip of Spain lingers in the background. Eric of Sweden writes devoted letters. Archduke Charles offers power and heirs. And finally, the Duke of Anjou arrives in person — young, charming, and bearing gifts, including the famous frog-shaped earrings that delight the queen. For a moment, it seems Elizabeth might finally choose. But every option carries risk. Marriage could mean losing control of her kingdom. A husband might claim authority. A child might replace her. Around her, advisors push, Parliament demands, and the shadow of Mary, Queen of Scots looms ever larger. As the years pass, the question shifts. It is no longer who Elizabeth will marry — but whether she ever intended to marry at all. And as we follow her story to its final days — her long decline, her refusal even to lie down, and the quiet gesture that signals her successor — we see the ultimate consequence of that decision. No husband. No heir. Just a legacy powerful enough to outlast them all.

The Kennedy Curse - Part 3

The Kennedy Curse didn't end with the assassination of JFK - far from it! In this final episode of our Kennedy trilogy, we ask what happened after Camelot fell. With John F. Kennedy gone and Robert Kennedy gunned down just five years later, the dynasty’s hopes shifted once more — to the younger generation. Could the flame stay lit? Or was tragedy now woven into the Kennedy name itself? From Ted Kennedy and the shadow of Chappaquiddick, to Jackie’s controversial marriage to Aristotle Onassis, and the rise — and devastating fall — of John F. Kennedy Jr., this is the story of heirs burdened by expectation, fame, and a family legacy unlike any other. Plane crashes. Scandals. Political ambition. And one final, haunting echo of a mother’s warning: never fly your own plane. Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams explore the weight carried by the next generation — the pressure to redeem the past, the struggle to escape it, and the events that cemented the idea of a “Kennedy curse” in the public imagination. Is it fate? Is it recklessness? Or is it simply the peril of living so visibly, so ambitiously, and so publicly for over a century?

3: James II and his fake heir scandal!

On June 10 1688, Queen Mary of Modena, the Catholic wife of James II, gave birth to a son, James Francis Stewart. Or did she? Join Kate Williams and Robert Hardman as they dive into one of royal history’s juiciest, and often forgotten, scandals: an event that should have been a joyous moment (a male heir - hurrah!) but one that instead unleashed a chain of events that would lead to mother, father, and child being driven out of England to spend the rest of their lives in… exile. Robert and Kate will explore whether Queen Mary really did give birth to a healthy son, or if – as many English Protestants, unwilling to see a Catholic heir on the throne, claimed – the pregnancy was all a ruse. Hosted by Daily Mail columnist and royal biographer Robert Hardman and historian Professor Kate Williams, Queens, Kings, and Dastardly Things delves into the juiciest parts of royal history from eras past, and present... but mainly past.

Elizabeth II: The Inside Story (Part 1)

Celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s life - her character, the scary look she gave those who displeased her, and what President Trump really thought about her majesty. It’s a packed first episode of a mini series of exclusive revelations. Journalist and historian Robert Hardman opens up to Professor Kate Williams about his research and private recollections as a royal reporter, in celebration of her 100th anniversary. From the Queen’s unshowy political skill to her stoic sense of duty, this episode paints a vivid picture of a monarch who kept working to the very end. Along the way, there are striking glimpses of royal life that feel by turns funny, startling and deeply moving: the alarming account of Prince Andrew (as he then was) and his altercation with a senior member of the royal household; Donald Trump fussing over exactly where to hang a portrait of the Queen at Mar-a-Lago; and the extraordinary image of Elizabeth II still dealing with state papers and official business in the last days of her life. The conversation also ranges across her wartime years, her relationships with prime ministers, her ability to deflate overblown personalities with a single look, and the immense pressures she absorbed during the final years of her reign during the Harry & Megan debarkle. The result is a portrait not just of a symbol, but of a working sovereign: pragmatic, disciplined, funny, devout, and, in Robert’s telling, much more politically astute than she was ever given credit for.

The Execution of Anne Boleyn

A queen knelt, a sword flashed, a dynasty shifted. This episode looks at how and why the execution of Henry VIII’s second wife became one of the most iconic, mesmerising moments in British history. Professor Kate dives straight into the charged final minutes of the execution, peeling back the myths, the melodrama, and the emotions of that fatal walk to the scaffold. Anne hoped, right up to the last, that the King might intervene. She rehearsed her courage. She made jokes. She forgave people she absolutely did not need to forgive. And as she stepped onto that scaffold, there were rumours that she harboured a tiny ember of belief that Henry might still call it all off. And then there’s the Frenchman: the swordsman from Calais, specially imported because he had a reputation for doing the dreadful job swiftly, silently… and with a trick. A trick that meant Anne Boleyn may not even have known the exact second her life ended. A trick that changed the choreography of English executions forever. Kate and Robert break down the politics, the theatre, the psychological games, and the shocking tenderness of those last moments.
