London, home of Big Ben, the underground and now the ever growing threat of a Martian invasion.

As refugees from Woking and Surrey arrive, we join the narrator's brother to see his side of the story, and another of H.G. Wells' what's in the papers chapters.

We also take a look at British exceptionalism - what is it? Why is it here? Has it ever led us into terrible decisions that still are unresolved today?

This chapter I'm joined by the hugely talented Frank Foucault, a brilliant comedian and musician who has just released an album only available on facemask. He joins us for a quiz on true or false Victorian headlines, and also provides an absolute jam about wanting to read a book.
