This is a playful reconstruction of the show performed on the 29th October 1624. It was a massive civic event created by the city for it’s new Lord Mayor.
This reconstruction was SUPPOSED to have been recorded live on the 400th anniversary of the show - but, alas, the production fell through at the last minute. Instead we recorded this piecemeal over the last six months around other shows.
Full coverage of the 400 year old event, fed into our studio via the latest scrying glass link up...
It features Robert Crighton, as radio Host John doing the live commentary. With Liza Graham as Hostess Joan on the street. Karim Kronfli plays the author of the pageant, John Webster, and the speeches of the shows are performed by Keith Hill and Emma Kemp. Our advisor was Professor Tracey Hill, our city chronologer.
More from the civic world of London will come as we can pull it together.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
