A Bad Wicket to Bat First On (with Al Murray!) | The Blitz (Part 3)

Someone explain the 1973-2008 joke? I’m too thick to get it

Fact check in Horatio’s IKEA comment. I live in Leamington Spa and work in Cov. Sadly the IKEA store was closed down 4/5 years ago. This guy makes me dumber every week with his brilliant historical knowledge but doesn’t even know his IKEA branches…

I am uncomfortable with how much I learned in this series.

Tough listen is Al

I have listened to many an episode of this podcast while shitting in the Pleasance Dome basement toilets between lectures. Happy to see my favourite public loo get recognised.

Could have Double Mandelsonned here. The Morrison shelter is named for his grandfather Herbert.

I'm unfortunately from Coventry and I'm sad to tell you the ikea has been shutdown. They've taken our last shread of culture

We need a couple of episodes or a Patreon on Wojtek the bear, who served with the Polish forces in Italy

My nan was from Hull and joined the RAF and later met my grandad while serving due to the bombing. It’s great to know without the Germans using Hull as a hotel bathroom I wouldn’t be here today

Film double; “Fury” &&&”Der Tiger”with Al Murray. That’s would be the 1am babestation crank of the history podcast world..

Seeing as we are back in the warm bath of Nazi Germany, I must again petition for a series on Klaus Barbie, aka the Butcher of Lyon. It's Vichy France, it's French people being tortured, it's the American's helping war criminals escape justice. This is weapons grade red meat and the fincels are hungry. I know we just had Herman Goering but we want more Nazis.

Can you guys Anschluss FvH and WHWOMYT

Ive been a greedy little piggy, oink oiiiiinkguuughhhh

Listening to this & not putting on deodorant, life is peaking

Ive paired all this delicious red meat with a mango punch relentless! 👌🤌

When we eventually get to the bunker I want Al back on, I want a 6 parter and I want the boys to essentially watch downfall scene by scene essentially giving an hour by hour of what’s happening in the bunker and finally I want a downfall style hitler crash out skit at the start of the episode

Hearing whispers the boys are scared to talk about African Islamic empires

Need Frank Sanazi - Comedy Dictator on the show!! 1st class cricket

I’m a fat, stupid mong and don’t want to learn anything when I listen to this pod. Please get a woman on next time.

The IKEA in Coventry closed 6 years ago, truly is nothing good left

Fun fact my great grandfather Sargent Charles Roberts died due to a delayed bomb fuse in the blitz

Brilliant couple of episodes, need Al back on but there is a real danger of actually learning something if that happens. Can we also get some episodes on French military history, I need to see fin do a deep dive into the 100 years war and I want a whole 8 parter of their surrender to the reich, including at least 2 episodes of Hitler having a lovely day out in Paris

Brilliant couple of episodes, despite the audacity of actually informing me.Mr Murray from a village just a couple a miles from me, that has often been claimed to be the longest village in the Uk

'Bomb the shit out of someone - they'll surrender' Topical.

Did….. did I just fucking learn something?!?! HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

have then done Oskar Dirlewanger?

I'm Czech, and we have a similar infrastructural problem to the UK. We weren't bombed at all, so we have a few major cities that only became major at the beginning of the 20th century (like Zlín), way after the railways were built. So as a result of not being turned to rubble, they have the equivalent of a village stop as their main station. Absolutely fucking dreadful traveling anywhere via rail.

Truffle truffle

I don’t get these British baseball references but I’m hard nonetheless
