Fellow time travellers, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

First off, big thanks to all the people who support this series.

Those who keep the wheels on the wagon by signing up to my Patreon.com site.

It's the money coming in from there that makes everything else possible.

That's the long and short of it.

So if you're one of those who makes that contribution on a monthly or an annual basis, an enormous thank you.

If you're not a member yet, it couldn't be easier. If you'd like to be just click on the link attached, go to Patreon.com and look for me by name and go through the steps.

You'll be walked through them, part with a bit of cash.

It's cheaper if you join up for a whole year at once, but you can pay month by month,

if that's the way you want to go, it's all fine by me and you're everyone's welcome.

As well as supporting what we do, you get advance warning of exclusive

content. There's a Q&A available for members where you can ask me questions and I answer them in as close to real time as

Paul and I have been able to organize it.

You get a first look at my monologues, there's competitions, but there's also a family and there's the opportunity to be in touch with with

everyone in the group and chew the fat so I hope to see you there one way or another. It's now time to strap into the time machine

as we set off towards the next stop in my love letter to the world. Recorder microphone, action. A huge crowd is gathered hoping to hear someone crystallize the dreams of millions in the face of decades, centuries of inhumanity.

Standing before them, dressed in a crisp white shirt and a black suit and tie,

the speaker sets his prepared speech to one side.

He clasps the podium with both hands and speaks from the heart, delivering one of the great speeches of the 20th century.

Endeavoring to understand history in hopes of illuminating the future. I'm Neil Oliver and this is my

love letter to the world. Morning Neil. In the last episode we travelled with you to Nagasaki in Japan to see a single

almighty explosion lay waste to a whole city. Where are we this week?
