The Tudors and Georgians have dominated the popular imagination for long enough. No more!
Please join the #StuartSpring movement in helping us to bring spotlight onto this oft-forgotten dynasty, The Stuarts, who ruled Britain in the 17th century, after ruling Scotland for the previous three.
This time Natalie and Gemma discuss the two new Stuart dramas that have hit our screens in the past few weeks: Mary & George and Royal Kill List.
We reminisce about the history of the docu-drama genre, as well as recall a few pivotal #KeepItStuart moments.
