Frank Skinner and guests Holly Walsh, Richard Herring and Professor Kate Williams ponder history’s funniest moments. From 2016.

Frank Skinner loves history, but just doesn't know much of it. So he's devised a comedy discussion show in order to find out more about it.

Along with his historian in residence, Professor Kate Williams, Frank is joined by Holly Walsh and Richard Herring.

Up for discussion: Burke and Hare, Mussolini, Catherine Parr - and the jokes of yesteryear.

Producers: Mark Augustyn and Justin Pollard
