Episode 1

Two of history's most important horses are back.

More recently-discovered, passionate letters between Napoleon Bonaparte's mount called Marengo and the Duke of Wellington's steed, Copenhagen.

Beginning at the height of the Battle of Waterloo and Marengo's close brush with death - our heroes deal with the aftermath of battle, as Marengo becomes part of the spoils of war.

And if the latter, should they rebrand themselves as hot new power-couple Mopenhagen? Or Carengo?
