Two history graduates discuss the legend of Santa and Mrs. Claus, and the darker stories of Christmas. Santa Claus is known around the world for being the cheery spirit of Christmas, and for providing joy every year for children. The question asked in this episode is, what about Mrs. Claus? Why don't we know more about her? From the rise in the domesticity of Christmas to the oppression of women, the reasons for her lack of a backstory is explored in this episode. Also discussed is the various terrifying stories of 'evil Santa', and how the imagery for this malevolent spirit is different across the world, and the imaginative punishments he has for children who are on the naughty list.

Two history graduates discuss the life of Cornelia Sorabji.
Cornelia Sorabji (1866- 1954) was the first female Indian lawyer, and the first Indian to attend Oxford University to study law in 1889. She was a ground-breaking Indian lawyer who advocated for women, fighting against purdah and helping purdahnashins (women who were not permitted to consult male lawyers). Her father was a Reverend, and her mother was an educator who founded a school for girls and ran a teaching programme. Throughout her life she fought for the rights of women, however her achievements have been hidden from history due to her colonialist loyalties to the British Empire, her criticisms of Gandhi, and her nuanced take on Katherine Mayo's book Mother India , all of which was used against her. Over 20 years of legal campaigning, Cornelia fought legal battles for over 600 women and children.
