Hello and welcome to the Restless History, Dominic. Have you heard the latest exciting news about our live tour?

I have, Dominic. It's actually shocking news. It's shocking but also heartening. But just to remind you the listener, the rest is history is going on a nationwide tour at the end of April 2023.

I say tour but it's for three nights only. We'll be in London on the 25th of April and the historic Drury Lane Theatre. Then we'll be able to Edinburgh the following evening on the 26th of April to play at Usher Hall.

And we will finish on the 30th of April at the Larry in Sulford Greater Manchester. But Tom, the listeners are gacking to know about this shocking news that you have for them about the tour.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can announce that our London live show has now sold out. I repeat, all 2000 seats, yes 2000 seats at Drury Lane Theatre are now sold out.

So not even frozen the musical. The show that we are of course replacing at Drury Lane, not even frozen sold out that quickly.

I can imagine Elsa listening to this right now, fuming at the very thought of the rest is history stealing her snowy thunder. But Elsa, all I will say to you is let it go.

People can go to both shows. But just to emphasize, that's our first live date already sold out. And tickets are selling incredibly quickly for Sulford and Edinburgh too.

So if you do want to come, please buy your ticket right now to avoid disappointment. Now, if you've never been to one of our live shows, what a treat or wait. So we have an incredibly inventive approach.

Tom will take the first half and he will be running through his repertoire of Marilyn Monroe songs and I do be the do thanks for that. And I will be picking up after the interval with the PowerPoint presentation on the economic policies of Stanley Baldwin.

It's an absolute riot.

It's fun for all the family. So these are our first ever shows outside London as a podcast. So we'll be putting on a tour de force. I think Dominic is the only word for it in both greater Manchester and the Scottish capital.

So they'll be impressions, perhaps a Mureguin pipe music and plenty of absolute lads from history. Here is how you can get tickets. Just go to rest is history pod dot com. It is very, very, very straight forward. That is www dot rest is history pod dot com by your tickets now to Sulford and Edinburgh before it's too late.

Hello, welcome to the rest is history and we are ripping our way through the 32 countries that are participating in the World Cup in Qatar.

And Dominic today we are coming to Denmark and Denmark, of course, has already we've already had a football tournament inspired episode on Denmark haven't we because last summer before last during the year.

We England ended up playing against Denmark in what was it the semifinals I think.

And so we did an episode on Anglo Danish relations over the course of the centuries, but today we're looking at a distinct and I have to say a very noble moment in Danish history.

So what if you chose and to represent Denmark?

Well, lots of people would anticipate that when we're doing a podcast on Denmark, we would do something to do with the Vikings and I've gone to completely the opposite end of the spectrum. We are in the 20th century and we are doing what's almost a first for the rest is history Tom, because we are doing what is I think we can say safely say is almost entirely good news story.

Because most historical stories end with everybody dying, don't they? And when they're packed with incidents, that basically means there's an awful lot of fighting or something of that ilk.

But this is a story in which people actually and some very surprising people behave really rather well.

So the story is the rescue of the Danish Jews.
