About this episode
Willy Willy, Harry......er.....no. This one doesn't fit into the rhyme, BUT, after lopping Charles I's head off, Oliver Cromwell abolished the Monarchy and led the country himself, so he's a worthy inclusion.
In this episode Charlie Higson unpicks Cromwell's life and the reasons why we had 11 years without a King or Queen.
His 'proper historian' is Dr Jonathan Healey, author of 'Blazing World - A New History of Revolutionary England'
