This latest episode (Episode 64) was recorded at The Hill Street Theatre in the Edinburgh Fringe on 7th August 2024.
The panellists were Vladimir McTavish, Paul Connolly and Alex Leam, and the host was Richard Pulsford.
We mainly covered On This Day topics from the twentieth century but also went as far back as the early 17th Century for one topic:
- The first performance of Macbeth, 7th August 1606
- Napoleon writes about reintroducing slavery in Cayenne, 7th August 1802
- Fanny Blankers became the first woman to win 4 gold medals, at The Olympic Games, August 1948
- The 'Miracle Mile', 7th August 1954
- Oliver Hardy, died 7th August 1957
- Bruce Dickinson, born 7th August 1958
Thanks go to Paul, who kindly stepped in as a last minute replacement for Jane Walker who was unfortunately ill on the day.
