Summary
OWAT returns properly on Monday 29th September 2025, so to fill the gap over the next couple of weeks we're dropping a few old subscriber episodes onto the feed.
And today with have a special little selection box of a few things we desperately wanted to talk about; there’s a bit more on gangs, a bit more on weather and (quite possibly the main event) a bear that joined the military.
Now would the Rolling Stones have caught on if Tom was the lead singer? Would Van Gogh’s famous Sunflowers have been surpassed by Chris’? And could Elis have been bigger than the Beatles? We don’t have the answers, but do you? If so: hello@ohwhatatime.com

Thank you to Dan Evans for the artwork (idrawforfood.co.uk).
We'll be back soon!

| 1:13.1 | Hello and welcome to O Water Time, the history podcast that tries to decide that if you could go back to a pre-Beatles age with all of the songs that Paul McCarty and John Lennon and George Harrison Row and deliver them as your own |
| 1:19.0 | or maybe further that could you go back to a pre-Picassau age or a pre-Mone age or pre-Vongophage |
| 1:25.1 | and deliver all of those paintings as your own. Would people |
| 1:29.0 | hail you as a genius who was ahead of his time? Or are you so uncharismatic that the critics |
| 1:34.0 | of the age ago actually is rubbish. I've met him and he's a wanker. Could you justifiably come |
| 1:39.9 | across as a genius realistically or would people just dismiss you out of hand? That's what we're trying |
| 1:44.8 | to ask. My name's Alice James. I'm Chris Scholl. I've got a question. Just imagine for a moment that |
| 1:50.8 | Tom Crane went back and befriended Keith Richards. Would the Rolling Stones had caught on if it was |
| 1:56.1 | Tom Crane fronting that band instead of Mick Jagger? Well, the reason I asked that question initially was there's a Richard Curtis film, isn't there? |
| 2:05.4 | Yeah. |
| 2:05.9 | Where... |
| 2:06.7 | Yes, it's called Yesterday. |
