Episode 3

Comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha examines what someone has to do to earn the epithet 'the Great'. From June 2017.

Comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha shines a light on the important historical moments that you never got taught at school.

This time, he explores the idea of 'greatness'. From an English king who we know less about than we think, to the Pope that accidentally killed millions of people, some leaders seem to get away with their dirty laundry being left unaired.

But there are also some leaders who truly deserve the title 'The Great', including another Pope, and a brutal tyrant who changed his ways.

Paul also looks at other countries' versions of the 成人快手's 100 Greatest Britons: who do the foreign general public think are "Great"? The answers may surprise you.

Written and performed by Paul Sinha.

Paul Sinha's History Revision was the winner of the 2016 Rose d'Or for 'Best Radio Comedy'.

Producer: Ed Morrish
