Another Facts The Way I Like It! sees Gill and Pete trade more facts and random stories. Gill has breaking news about a case that has remained unsolved for over 130 years and Pete has the story of the Tipton Brothers and how they really believed in the idea that "you make your own luck". They look into how a persistent assassin followed George III around but the encounter still ended in a draw and finally Pete falls down a rabbit hole of the preservation of living things after they die... even if the result doesn't necessarily do them justice.

Series 3, Episode 8 of What The Factual sees Pete taking the reins this week as he meanders through almost the entire history of the beautiful, chaotic and passionate peninsular we now know as the Republic of Italy.

From early settlers to constant waves of Germanic warriors to Ancient Rome and, well, a more modern Rome. They take in the people with long beards, the people who liked watching animal fights and all the wonders of Sicily, Venice and the greatest World Cup ever held (in Pete's humble opinion).

In Chew The Fact and Love Factually they discover why an ostrich is called an ostrich, why shuffling a deck of cards can create a little piece of history and how many cigars a day is a little too many cigars a day.

What The Factual? is back with Episode 7 of Series 3 in which Gill and Pete look at the Georgian Era when it seemed everyone was called George.

In Love Factually, Pete reveals how to find yourself in Iceland and in Chew The Fact he shares a shocking fact about the good ol' guillotine.

Finally, Gill admits to being mildly enthusiastic about Jane Austin... well, ok in fact she is wildly in love with Jane Austin.
