Bobby and Red visit medieval 1455 which sees The War of the Roses and the bloodiest battle in British history, we figure out if we can acquire a Lorenzo Ghiberti door, the Mary Rose sinks, and which Spanish Inquisitor will be declared Dick of the Year? By the time this episode comes out we will find out if Bobby is a viral star for his video about Kirstie Allsopp and Red may have taken up fencing again if he can remember what the sword is called.
