What I like best about this show is that it has guest speakers, I only wish more shows in the UK did likewise.

Rob Jones: ‘Medieval Infantry Tactics'
How do foot soldiers fare in an age of cavalry? How were infantry forces raised and fielded? How did they fight? Rob Jones will be challenging some assumptions about medieval foot combat, and discussing ways in which we can incorporate this into our wargaming.

Peter Grehan: "H. G. Wells and the Daleks"
Catering for a mature sophisticated audience as well as appealing to younger fans of Doctor Who. Based on the content of his book Connecting Who: Artificial Beings, it specifically looks at how the works of H. G. Wells influenced the creation of the Daleks and how his vision was reinterpreted in the aftermath of World War 2 and the Cold War that followed it.
