Paul Sinha's History Revision: The Complete Series 1-3




Comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha tells the fascinating stories from human history that we have forgotten.

In his fascinating and hilarious BBC Radio 4 stand up show, comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha shines a light on the important historical moments that you never got taught at school, and explains why so much of what you did learn is wrong. There will also, as ever, be puns.

He explains how Portugal's invasion of Morocco in 1415 led directly to the 2014 World Cup; how the 1909 launch of an Austro-Hungarian submarine prevented Dr Zhivago from winning an Oscar; and the story of the black woman who refused to give up a seat on an Alabama bus and ended up changing the law - no, it wasn't Rosa Parks.

\"Sinha's gift for finding humour in it all makes him worth a listen\" - The Telegraph
