In a feature-length finale to series 1 of What The Factual? Gill and Pete look into the British leg of the Romans' European Tour and also look at Valentine's Day and it's pros and cons. They also learn how rabbits made it to Britain and how Boudica nearly changed the course of history. This week Chew The Fact has a twist but also a somewhat predictable outcome.

Series 2 will be out in a few weeks time. Please watch our channels for more information and follow us on your podcast provider of choice! Thanks for your support this series from Gill and Pete! x
