It's time for the first episode of the year, and unfortunately it's time to get more serious because exams are not all that far away. So, we're back to exam content, starting with Mussolini's rise to being the Italian PM. In this episode, we look at the roles played by all sorts of people in making Mussolini the PM. But, that's not before my fact of the week all about the Orient Express and On This Day In History is brought to us this week by Hazel.
