This week's episode is about our two favourite things: heroes, and sex. We start with the life of Gustav Victor Rudolf Born, who was somehow linked to Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer and Olivia Newton John. Then we move on to Bunny Rodger, a war hero who went into battle wearing blusher and carrying a copy of Vogue under his arm, before returning to Britain to dress Scarlett O'Hara. Then Becky tells us about the time a man who studies algae for a living accidentally ended WWII, and Amy talks about a woman who found herself alone in a foreign country with a baby coming out of her and nothing but YouTube for help. And we end by trying our hands at writing really bad sex – well. We try one hand at it, at least. The other one was busy.
