There'll be tears before bedtime as Steven goes to war with his daughter over what bedtime story he'll be reading, which leads him to explore the idea of conflict.

Looking back at the Cold War with author and former fact checker Patrick Worrall, Steven discovers how the aftermath of the Second World War can help us understand the current war in Ukraine. We also go back in time to the age of the Vikings, as bestselling historical fiction writer Ben Kane brings Norse warriors to the shores of Ireland. And we learn how transgenerational trauma from the Holocaust is something that still needs to be addressed, as filmmaker Daniela Volker talks about her new documentary, The Commandant's Shadow.

And, Steven doffs his cap to satirists Noel Coward and Tom Lehrer, as he composes a satirical tune of his own.
