An historical eye-witness account of life in the British Navy, from the Viking invasion of Anglo Saxon England to a young sailor’s grief at the death of Lord Nelson, from the Spanish Armada to the Battle of Jutland and from organised press gangs to murderous mutinies.

A fascinating foray into British military history revealing the life of the British soldier at war.

We eavesdrop on some of the most memorable and fascinating events of the British at play. From marble games to water speed records, from fox hunting to ballooning and from cock fighting to the very British sport of...hopping.

Critic reviews

"It is a highly enjoyable collection. Some pieces are just dazzling." (Independent on Sunday)

"An extraordinary series...deserves a medal. The readers are all excellent and many of them distinguished." (Spectator)

"From the same stable that produced The Chronicle, my favourite audio this year, I've just listened equally spellbound to a compilation of travellers' tales at home." (Guardian)
