About this episode
A necrophiliac in Paris!
Join 18th-century England's most deviant politician ( and that's saying something) on a fun-packed mini-break to the French capital.
With wit, cross-dresser and execution enthusiast George Selwyn.
- Who was Robert Damiens?
- How many horses does it take to pull a man apart?
- Why did Georgian high society pay good money to sit in a field?
- Is disguising yourself as a woman to watch an execution weird?
It's a wince-inducing tale of scandal, gossip, Louis XV, The Hellfire Club, political satire and French capital punishment.
Join the crowd at Tyburn and enjoy episode 42 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of Bad Behaviour in period costume.
