Send Me A Roguish Text Message

A necrophiliac in Paris!
Join 18th-century England's most deviant politician ( and that's saying something) on a fun-packed mini-break to the French capital.
With wit, cross-dresser and execution enthusiast George Selwyn.

  • Who was Robert Damiens?
  • How many horses does it take to pull a man apart?
  • Why did Georgian high society pay good money to sit in a field?
  • Is disguising yourself as a woman to watch an execution weird?

It's a wince-inducing tale of scandal, gossip, Louis XV, The Hellfire Club, political satire and French capital punishment.

Join the crowd at Tyburn and enjoy episode 42 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of Bad Behaviour in period costume.
Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
