BBC History Magazine's interview show — a steady stream of historians and authors across every period. Hit rate on military topics is moderate, but when the magazine commissions a strong specialist guest (the German Peasants' War, the liberation of Naples, royals in WWI are recent examples), the result is reliably substantive. The interviewer rotates, which affects the texture week to week.
