Phil's sympathetic comments on Prince Harry's reasons for fighting the press didn't persuade all of our audience last week, and the comments were lively!

Andrew and Phil react to that and discuss the latest evidence of the deep rift in the British royal family - Harry's visit to London and the non-meeting between him and his sick father King Charles.

Then historian Emma Southon joins us for a hugely entertaining and informative conversation about ancient Rome. Not about the Emperors and Generals that fill the history books, but the women whose stories get told a lot less often. And some of them were scandalous indeed!
