Now this is one I both enjoyed and advanced my knowledge.
It comes in a series which also includes a look at Neanderthals, and The History of Football.
Leaving me just to quote the sleeve notes.
"We are heading down to the Underground Railroad to discover the incredible life of American hero and abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
From a torturous childhood to surgery without anaesthetic, get ready to understand true bravery as we uncover the events which made Harriet Tubman a phenomenal force for change.
Greg Jenner is joined by comedian, actor and writer Desiree Burch and historian Dr Michell Chresfield from the University of Birmingham. It’s history for people who don’t like history!
This episode was produced by Dan Morelle, scripted by Greg Jenner and researched by Emma Nagouse".
