Matt Baker - TV royalty, now knee-deep in mud - turns up straight off the train from Durham and gets sniffed out and confesses to the Great Nuremberg Pork Allergy Incident. We're joined by underwater archaeologist Dr Peter Campbell for this week's themed deep-dive, Sunken Cities, and Matt is put through a bruising round of What Is the Velcro Singing?
Sara Pascoe turns up for old times' sake, gets grilled by not one but two Sarah's, pitches a Thursday Murder Club rival called The Wednesday Hospice Pickpocket Club, and has her own historic bankruptcy read out live on air by an AI bot with a long memory and no filter. We welcome Queensmith CEO Brett Afshar for this week's theme, Diamonds, and somebody ends up wearing a £185,000 ring.
Sunil Patel turns up to be offered a Scotch Prize Ball (Regency Innovation TM), asked repeatedly about working for Natwest, and finds out from an AI bot that his dad ran a pub, prompting a full on-air correction. Plus: Harry sits down with crime historian Dr Angela Buckley for this week's themed deep-dive, Victorian Crime, and somebody nearly wins a round of Name the Celebrity Seed.
In this week's episode of the Podscarf, we welcome prop comedy legend, Spencer Jones, alongside University of Manchester New Testament scholar Dr Andrew Boakye, for an hour of pure, unadulterated junk-shop invention and first-century Galilean prophecy. Licky's fame finally goes to his head, Spencer unveils a £160 pair of parcel-photo feet, Sarah the AI Bot grows a moustache, and Gary goes blonde.
