And in our podcast, Legacy, we explore the lives of some of the biggest characters in history.

This season we're revisiting the life of Cecil Rhodes.

From Sickly Child to Diamond Tycoon, to Leading Colonialist in South Africa, he was a bastion of British imperialism.

Over the past few years, campuses around the world have been met by students, chanting Rhodes must fall. his legacy has been completely transformed

it's unbelievable how relevant roads still feels and how often his name is

invoked by people contesting really polarizing parts of our contemporary life.

But one of the questions about Rhodes is that he takes all the flag and therefore hides

way all the other people who were responsible for doing things that maybe not quite so bad.

That's why I think it's important to think not just about Rhodes and his own life,

but about what that period of British and colonial history meant.

And one of the things people often say is you have to judge these figures by the standards of their time.

That's exactly what we're going to do, Peter, isn't it?
