Hi everybody, welcome to Dan Snow's History Hit. We had the sad news about Prince Philip.

On Friday, yesterday, many of you will have listened to the Abiturie podcast. Thank you

for your feedback on that. Today we're sort of resuming normal service, I guess. We've

got part two of our Monster Survey of British Prime Ministers. Part one, so the very brilliant

Hannah Gregg take us through the long 18th century. Correct. Many of my misconceptions about

the men that dominated British politics through the 18th century and into the early 19th. This

time we are rolling out Robert Saunders to take us up to a guy called Winston Churchill. He

may have heard of him. So we're going all the way from the Battle of Waterloo, the period

of peace that followed the Napoleon at war. We're going all the way up to Winston Churchill.

And I've got just a man, a titan of 19th century history, a man perfectly equipped to talk to

us about some of the most remarkable parliamentarians in history. Robert Saunders, he's a reader,

the School of History, Queen Mary University of London. He's the red historian on Twitter. And

he's simply one of the best people to follow in the world on twitter.com. He thinks beautifully

and succinctly about democracy, both here in the UK and around the world. If you wish to listen to

previous podcast of Robert Saunders or want to go back and listen to the Hannah Greg one, the

playster and on history hit TV. You don't have to listen to any ads. Just get a history hit TV.

around England with Dr. Kat Jarman. We're on the footsteps of the great heathen army. Eventually

Alfred would fight and defeat in battle in the ninth century on his way to becoming Alfred the

Greats. Kat and I are looking for the archaeological traces of that great heathen army.

As it rampaged across from East Anglia into Mercia and down into west six toppling kingdoms as it

did so. That's what I'm doing. That will be available soon at dot tv as is all the podcasts and
