In each episode, Alex and Hannah welcome an expert guest to chat about their loves, hates, and find out whether they have what it takes to become a member of the History Film Club. Their guests have included actor Stephen McGann (Call the Midwife) producer Jamie Glazebrook (Peaky Blinders), showrunner Jeb Stuart (Vikings: Valhalla), directors Joss Agnew (The Irregulars), Emma Holly Jones (Mr Malcolm’s List), Morgan Matthews (The Railway Children Return). Leading historians such as Amanda Vickery, Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb and Sunny Singh have laughed, chatted and been welcomed into the club.
