Summary
Henry VIII, Charles II and Richard the Lionheart. What do all of these men have in common?
They're incredibly eligible bachelors! Well, if not that then they are all former kings of England.
At this live show in London we asked our audience which of these men they would shag, marry or avoid, keeping in mind style, syphilis and sex appeal.
This episode was edited by Hannah Feodorov. The producer was Sophie Gee. The senior producer was Freddy Chick.
