    1935 - Titanic Submersible, Shark Arm Case, Driving Tests, Sonny Bono, Jerry Lee Lewis, Lindbergh Baby, Robert Downey Senior, Hitler Reorganises the Luftwaffe

    Explorer Red Richardson takes us to the depths of 1935 but not before some chat about the Titanic Titan Submersible that captured everyone's attention and imaginations this week. Of course the first thing that catches his attention is shark that vomited a murder victim's arm, driving tests become compulsory, Sonny Bono, Jerry Lee Lewis and Robert Downey Senior were all born, the Lindbergh Baby is kidnapped, and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler reorganises the Luftwaffe. Also it's very hot, Val Kilmer, shooting cows with a bazooka, and we argue the difference between titan and titanic. P.S. There's a mistake in this episode. Can you find it before Red does?
