Series 3, Episode 8 of What The Factual sees Pete taking the reins this week as he meanders through almost the entire history of the beautiful, chaotic and passionate peninsular we now know as the Republic of Italy.

From early settlers to constant waves of Germanic warriors to Ancient Rome and, well, a more modern Rome. They take in the people with long beards, the people who liked watching animal fights and all the wonders of Sicily, Venice and the greatest World Cup ever held (in Pete's humble opinion).

In Chew The Fact and Love Factually they discover why an ostrich is called an ostrich, why shuffling a deck of cards can create a little piece of history and how many cigars a day is a little too many cigars a day.

Episode 7 of Facts The Way I Like It! sees Gill and Pete don their fact sharing hats yet again. This time they look at the amazing story of Violet Jessop, different styles of music including the works of John Cage and Giraffe humming. You can judge which is the more musical. Gill has some good news from the fruit and health world and Pete breaks the story of the Nuclear Bomb disaster that nearly was.

What The Factual? is back with Episode 7 of Series 3 in which Gill and Pete look at the Georgian Era when it seemed everyone was called George. They look at the Monarchy and how a guy called Rob guided them through the turbulent times of the early industrial revolution, exploration and the Napoleonic wars.

In Love Factually, Pete reveals how to find yourself in Iceland and in Chew The Fact he shares a shocking fact about the good ol' guillotine.

Finally, Gill admits to being mildly enthusiastic about Jane Austin... well, ok in fact she is wildly in love with Jane Austin.

Also as a result of this episode, Pete may well owe a huge apology to the good people of Birmingham.
