Boudicca has been mythologised and redefined to suit varying contexts, established as a savage, a guardian of national identity, a champion of women, and a mother.

Finally, we hear her story straight from the horse's mouth; discussing sexual misconduct, distorted links between Boudicca and feminism and mother-daughter protection. 

With inappropriate language and themes, this episode is not for children or grannies

Tourism contributes to roughly 30 percent of the economy in Greece and 15 percent in Malta.

This episode will travel from the Mycenean ruins in Greece, Calyposos cave in Gozo, and to a Caravaggio in St John’s Cathedral in Valetta, the capital city of Malta, and we will be starting with the Ggantija temples in Gozo.

Relaxing tour around the Roman Baths with commentary you say?

Back at the studio, Boudicca from 50AD and emperor Hadrian from 120AD give a little insight into their experiences of the Baths 

Archeologist Angus and I delve into the enduring symbol of Ancient Athens - the Acropolis. On top of which stands the Parthenon, Athena Nike Temple, and the Frieze. 

It's not all sunshine and rainbows because missing from the Acropolis are the "Elgin" marbles, stored away in the British Museum.  This really grinds Angus's gears, particularly in the current climate of post-colonialism. 

Olly O Toole and I canvass over the life of the crazy cat Alexander the Great, the man who overthrew the Persian Empire. 

From the drunken rages to the military conquests.
