With a reign so long it demanded two episodes, Charlie Higson wraps up King George III and it's a pretty epic task, taking in the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, the creation of the United Kingdom and some big characters like Horatio Nelson, Pitt The Younger and of course, Napoleon, with a conclusion that, on the whole, George III did a pretty good job!


Helping Charlie shine a light on this often maligned monarch is national treasure Ian Hislop.


Oh, and do note that Charlie's book of the podcast, Willie Willie Harry Stee is available NOW in all book shops, in Paperback!.
