The season finale and something a little bit different for our last hurrah! In this episode we take a look at the Eccentric Club which, as you can probably guess, is a club full of eccentric individuals… whatever could go wrong!

What happens when someone with eccentric traits finds themselves right at the top of government and leading their country? Mayhem and melons, that’s what.

Jemmy Hirst, the animal trainer. Unlike other eccentrics we have encountered in this series, Jemmy Hirst was born not into the upper echelons of society, but rather to a farming family. After deciding he didn’t want to become a priest, Jemmy went on to forge his own, very unique path in life.

Louise Elisabeth De Meuron - Born in Bern to a wealthy family (her parents left her a castle, each, when they died), Louise raises an interesting consideration. Is eccentricity a result of nature, nurture, or is it simply used as term by those well off to excuse their otherwise poor behaviour? Let me know what you think!

Lord Berners was a writer, a composer and artist who enjoyed dyeing his pigeons a range of colours and inviting horses to tea. An outright creative, he lived a truly eccentric life!

Lord Rokeby - Born in 1712, Lord Rokeby was a man who liked to bathe. A lot.
