Summary
What do you get when you bring together five top historians to debate Mary, Queen of Scots on film? History with the gloves off - our second special episode of Not Just the Tudors Lates! This time, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb takes as her starting point the tragic life of the Scottish Queen and her relationship with her rival and cousin Queen Elizabeth I.
Suzannah is joined once again by Dr Joanne Paul, Jessie Childs, Alex von Tunzelmann and Professor Sarah Churchwell to compare the various film versions of Mary’s story, where they have got it right - and often wildly wrong.
This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg.

| 0:41.7 | about my future, specifically my future health. I consider myself to be pretty fit and active. |
| 0:47.9 | But when it comes to eating for my best health, I have to confess, I often feel like I'm fighting a |
