Summary

Greg James and Bella Mackie didn’t pay much attention at school. So they’re asking Britain’s most inspiring teachers to show them what they missed in this series of fascinating and fun lessons.

This week it's history with Miss Patel. Her lesson is about the incredible Edith Garrud, a martial arts instructor who taught suffragettes how to defend themselves back in the 1910s, in a story involving cudgels, barbed wire, and a targeted campaign against policemen's helmets.

Bad students of all ages are welcome. Expect brilliant teachers, captivating subjects but absolutely no homework.
