About this listen

 Before Taylor Swift ignored Joe Alwyn's whining in The Tortured Poets Department, Emma Stone ignored Joe Alwyn's whining in The Favourite (except with even more corsets and ballgowns). We look at what The Favourite (2018) tells us about 18th century lesbians, who, despite what your school history textbook told you, funnily enough did exist. Heather Rose Jones from the Lesbian Historic Motif Project tells us how likely it is that Queen Anne slept with her ladies in waiting (hint: very). We get to the bottom of why there are so many less films and Doctor Who cameos with Queen Anne than there are other English queens, including the total personality vacuum that is Queen Victoria.
