Sharpe with Bernard Cornwell
The past is never dead, it isn’t even past
Aspects of History Editor Ollie Webb-Carter interviews historians and authors about the past – from the ancient world right up to the modern day. In each episode, Ollie seeks to get to the bottom of a story or scrutinise a figure from history, in an informative light-hearted way. There are bonus episodes too, on current events and anniversaries to the Aspects of History Film Club.
