📜 "A bit of war. Someone win, don't know who... Someone lose, don't know who..." Having died thousands of years ago, Robin has seen it all. From the Ice Age, to the invention of 'ele-trickery' and beyond, Laurence Rickard reads the caveman's guide to everything that has ever happened in the history of the world, from the BBC programme's new companion book: The Button House Archives.
An Evening with the Cast of Ghosts was originally broadcast on Sun 29 Oct live from the Gillian Lynne Theatre, in London.

Brilliant. Of course, underlying it is sadness. Robin was alone for a longgggggggggggggggg time. But, then, that's one of the reasons this was such an incredible show. People come. People go. Moonah ston always there.

I'm not british, so I wonder who the King he's talking about (that he couldn't vouch for, that Julian says is 'almost funny'). I assume it's William I, though I can't make out what Robin tries to call him. Is it just funny, because Simon Farnsby is William I in HH?
