An exploration of The Funeral of Queen Mary the First - This is a surprise episode, coming about thanks to Helen Good who transcribed this text for us. We have looked at other royal pageantry, where there is a performance text to play with, so this less texty text is not completely outside our usual fare.

With Helen Good, Melita Thomas, Johanna Strong, Liza Graham, Gregory Musson, Tom Helsby and Eric Karoulla.

The host was Robert Crighton
