Summary

This week on Fortunately, Fi and Jane turn their attentions to the past with historian Greg Jenner. Host of You're Dead To Me and consultant to Horrible Histories, Greg tells us what we can learn (and not learn!) about our current circumstances from bygone eras. He also takes Fi and Jane inside the history of celebrity, the subject of his new book, revealing why we we're interested in the lives of the rich and the famous. Despite feeling the heat, Fi and Jane keep it together to officially cut the ribbon on the new Fortunately email address. You can now 'get in touch' via: [email protected]
