Along with his historian in residence DR KATE WILLIAMS, each episode will see FRANK joined by a selection of celebrity guests, who will help him navigate his way through the annals of time, picking out and chewing over the funniest, oddest, and most interesting moments in history. Guests in the first series of The Rest is History included DAVID BADDIEL, KATY BRAND, VICTORIA COREN MITCHELL, DAVE GORMAN, JOHN LLOYD, SARA PASCOE and JOSH WIDDICOMBE.
