Summary
Reginald Pole has been styled as both the nemesis of Henry VIII and as Mary I's bloody accomplice. Pole was related to the English royal family through the Plantagenets and was himself implicated in a plot against Henry VIII in 1538. So how did he rise to become the last Roman Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury, and then use his position both for and against the Tudor monarchs?
In this episode of Not Just the Tudors, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Frederick Smith to discuss this complex and charismatic personality.
This episode was edited by Ella Blaxill and produced by Rob Weinberg.

| 0:40.0 | the stuff your cat was born to eat. It doesn't contain beaks or |
| 0:45.0 | talons or scraps boiled off the bone. It's so good you could eat it yourself. |
| 0:49.0 | It's been gently cooked to kill bad bacteria while protecting key nutrients and it's frozen to stay |
| 0:55.1 | fresh with no additives or preservatives. I've had my two on it for the last few weeks. |
| 1:00.0 | One was wolfing it down within seconds. The other is a fussy so and so and I wasn't sure he'd go for it. |
| 1:06.0 | But after a few days of adjustment he started eating more than he's ever done and now he's licking every bowl clean. |
| 1:13.0 | And here's the other things I like about it. |
| 1:15.0 | It's conveniently delivered by post in perfectly portioned trays, |
| 1:19.0 | tailored to the age, weight and breed of the cats. |
| 1:21.0 | I'm never going to over or underfeed them again. |
| 1:23.7 | Their coats are shinier and thicker already and there are fewer hair balls. |
| 1:28.0 | And the thing I like best of all, let's stink in the litter tray. |
