Elizabeth I
Rattus gets Queen Lizzie to chat about being single with Mary, Queen of Scots!
The writers and cast behind Horrible Histories wonder what it might be like if Queen Elizabeth I had her own podcast. It is set well into her reign.
Mary Queen of Scots is on the line from her imprisonment in Chartley Castle. Liz questions Mary about her marital status.
There is a mock advert for Elizabethan beauty treatments and another ad for sugar toothpaste. There is also a quiz question about Queen Elizabeth鈥檚 own period of imprisonment in the Tower of London.
Mary and Liz start to bicker over religion but are interrupted by the arrival of Sir Walter Raleigh who seems intent on impressing the Queen. After some cajoling from her guests, Liz announces she will marry England. No-one is quite sure how that will actually work but it seems to pacify everyone.
Rattus offers some context at the top and tail of the episode, which also features two songs from the TV series 鈥� Tudor Queens and Brand New Land.
The minipod that goes with this episode features a deleted scene in which Liz receives a letter from her dear friend Robert Dudley, informing her that he has now married someone else.
