  • Summary

  • Three stories set in the very first year of the 1920’s: A single soldier’s corpse is repatriated to Britain to a hero’s welcome; The first ever radio broadcast by a professional performer and the story of a scheming young Lord who is not what he seems.

    Plus, Stephen compiles an ABC of words invented in this decadent decade.

Just marvelous

Every episode in this selection is just great. History with a Stephen Fry twist: not at all boring.

Entertaining and informative as always

Highly enjoyable and lighthearted romp through the 1920s. Lots of fascinating detail, expertly delivered by Stephen Fry.

Dumbed down.

This is all a bit silly. Goes off on strange tangents that are not very interesting.
