RIHC: Henry VIII, Modern Villains, and H.H. Asquith
Does H.H. Asquith really belong in Dominic's top ten British Prime Ministers, and if so why? What role did the survivors of the Titanic play in propagating the famous myths surrounding the disaster? Are the Tudors overrated? How important is it to shield young school children from traumatic historical subjects? What are the pros and cons of a written constitution? And, which two people in power today will be remembered in the future as a great hero and a great villain? In this week’s bonus, with Tom on holiday, Dominic is joined by assistant producer Tabby and community manager James, in an Asquith-based showdown for the ages.... *The Rest Is History LIVE in 2024* Tom and Dominic are back onstage this summer, at Hampton Court Palace in London!
