Why France Banned Sundays
Manage episode 382592221 series 3340769
We finally have the episode when Dave says "Time is a just a construct". That may well be the case, but you still have to have major cajones to want to change the entire calendar. Enter badboy of Europe, France. This week the lads meet Dr Matthew Shaw from Queen's College Library, Oxford University who talks them through the plan to get rid of Sundays, decimalize time and rename every day of the year.
Part 1 sees Neil explain a champagne-related coup while Dave demonstrates a frankly extraordinary ability to belch on command. Get that man on a talent show.
Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave Moore
