History Undone is a series by Times Radio History in which they look at the what-ifs of historical turning points. It seems very good, and should be of interest to our crowd, whether it results in modelling opportunities or not. Recommended.

The one I just listened to was What If William Of Normandy had lost the Battle Of Hastings in 1066:

Here's the playlist for the whole series:

This is not to be confused with History Unhinged, which is a collaboration between channels The Lore Lodge and Stakuyi, and consists of two historians getting drunk, horribly off-topic, and politically incorrect, while one of their friends plays "Joe Public" for the sake of the audience and tries heroically to keep things vaguely on-track. This is also recommended, although for entirely different reasons... :wacko:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.
