  • Willy Willy Harry what???? Charlie explains....
    Willy Willy Harry Stee is Charlie Higson's guide to the monarchy, all based on a rhyme he learned at school which, helpfully, gave an easy way to remember the names of every King & Queen of England. Unhelpfully it didn't teach you anything else about them, something this weekly podcast will help rectify.In this first episode, Charlie, who you may know as creator of and actor in The Fast Show and Down The Line, author of the Young Bond and Enemy series and recently the brand new James Bond novel 'On His Majesty's Secret Service' brings us part one of the backstory to the very first monarch, William The 1st or William The Conqueror as he's better known.To help make sense of this Charlie invited his friend Tom Holland who you may know from the top rated podcast The Rest Is History.So, settle down and enjoy 4000 years of history in one convenient podcast! Brilliant! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
