Join us, Michelle and Lucy, for a mildly diverting delve into the great, the good, the mad, the brave, the outrageous, the mischievous and the truly preposterous folk of the Tudor Age.  Two enthusiastic Tudorphiles discuss each in turn and give them marks out of ten for intrigue, martyrdom, posterity and rise & fall before deciding whether they are Tudorlicious.

Hallowe'en Special - The Devil in the Landscape

Oct 31 2024 28 mins  
There are hundreds of places in Britain named after the Devil, many with their own explanatory folktale. We look at the question, given that surely the Devil is a very scary concept, why did people make up stories that made him look a fool?

Oct 25 2024 105 mins  
A truly extraordinary story of survival. They set off for Florida with 610 people and 80 horses, in the end there were just four people and no horses ... so maybe survival isn't the word.

Oct 05 2024 75 mins  
You can't keep a good man down. Last time we killed him off and yet he rises again. This time we try to explain some of the beliefs that sent Columbus on his trip in the first place and we look at how he has been viewed throughout history and now. Should he get Tudorlicious?
