It’s time to find out the part that Derek played.

Westminster, home of the government man! It’s Sunday 15th January 1559 and Elizabeth Tudor is getting a crown done. After that she’s popping down the Abbey to be made Queen. It’s going to be an amazing day.

What makes it even more amazing is that, both in the dentist’s chair and in the Abbey, the individual being crowned is not actually Elizabeth Tudor at all.

God save the Queen, because tourists are money, but our figurehead is not what she seems.

It’s time to find out the part that Derek played.

This is the History of Derek Elizabeth I.

We salute you.

Nottingham, home of the forest.

It's 1190 and in the North of England, if you count Nottinghamshire as the North (which you shouldn’t because it’s in the East Midlands), a new form of protest movement begins – The Hoods…

But one Hood has been cruelly been overlooked by chroniclers, crinklers, balladeers and bell-ends. A Hood so great that he should be held in the highest esteem by his countrymen and have his own movie, TV show or, at very least, 15 minute podcast.

It’s time to find out the part that Derek played.

This is the History of Derek Hood.

We salute you.
