123. Horrendous Histories
Manage episode 305934553 series 1181725
Religious tensions, post-colonialism, court intrigue, unimaginable slaughter. It should be a right bloody laugh as Ben and Mark discuss 2018's 'Demons of the Punjab' and 1966's 'The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve'.
Ben and Mark have nothing but praise for Vinay Patel's powerful portrayal of a historical moment that is woefully untaught in the history curriculum. It's Doctor Who at its most Reithian and leads to a discussion that takes in legacy, religious extremism and the Doctor's policy of 'no interference'.
Meanwhile, the Lash Lads find it harder to speak highly of John Lucarotti and Donald Tosh's flawed historical 'The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve'. Might this be better if we could see it? How on Earth were they portraying such a grisly and grotesque historical event on teatime telly? And what happened to the little boy on Wimbledon Common?
