Alex chats to actor, writer and podcaster Margaret Cabourn-Smith (Radio 4’s ‘John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme’ and ‘The Penny Dreadfuls Presents…’, BBC’s ‘Miranda’) about Victorian oddities, dress fires, and wrapping rooms.

Margaret also creates a character on the spot based solely on the made-up name given to her by Alex in our regular section ‘Chain(ge) of Character’. This episode was recorded 24th February 2025.
