It's great to be back for a new year and we hit the ground running by going back to 1823, when Fransz Liszt gives a concert in Vienna and is personally congratulated by composer Ludwig van Beethoven, Hugh Glass gets mauled by a grizzly bear on an expedition in Missouri which inspired the Leonardo di Caprio Oscar winning film The Revenant, Russian author Alexander Pushkin begins work on the verse novel Eugene Onegin and eventually suffers a cuckolds death, the Oxford University Union debating society is founded in England, Robert Peel ensures the passage of an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom abolishing the death penalty of hundreds of offences. Also Bobby has gone partially deaf and lost his hearing in one ear after going swimming and Red is discovering the wonders of the modern vacuum cleaner and of course Prince Harry keeps coming up in conversation.
