I will. I will give it my best. And in Comedy Corner, we had the ever-sensational Sophie Duker. Thank you, Sophie. Thank you so much. Thank you. And to you, lovely listener, join me next time as we savour another historical delight. But for now, I'm off to try and convince the Pope to sanction my debilitating hot chocolate habit. Bye! This episode of You're Dead to Me was researched by Matt Ryan.

Hello and welcome to You're Dead to Me, the Radio 4 comedy podcast that takes history seriously. My name is Greg Jenner. I'm a public historian, author and broadcaster. And today we are packing our tins of preserved beef, donning our thermal undies and sailing off in search of the Northwest Passage. And joining me on the good ship, You're Dead to Me, are two very special shipmates.

In History Corner, she's Associate Professor in the History of Science and Medicine at the University of Birmingham's Department of Applied Health Science. What a title. You may have read her long-running science column in The Guardian newspaper or her recent book, Higher and Colder, on the history of extreme exploration.

And you will definitely remember her from our episode on Victorian bodybuilding. It's Dr Vanessa Heggie. Welcome back, Vanessa.

And in Comedy Corner, he's a sensational stand-up and the host of the brilliant The Comedian's Comedian podcast, which I love. You may have seen him on BBC Live at the Apollo recently or on Conan O'Brien's show, but you will definitely remember him from our back catalogue, including episodes on the history of fandom and Blackbeard the Pirate. It's Stu Goldsmith. Welcome back, Stu.

Lovely to have you back, Stu. Thank you. I'm clearly giddy with glee today. I know you're interested in climate change as an area of policy and discourse, but also comedy, right? Yes, for sure.

This is where I have a go at guessing what you, our lovely listener, will know about today's subject. And I am guessing everyone knows where the Arctic is. But if you are confused, it's the bit at the top. Think polar bears, not penguins.

Wow, I'm leaving. I can't learn anything better than that. OK, so there we go. In terms of the history of Arctic exploration, maybe people have heard of John Franklin's famed 19th century expedition, which recently was fictionalised in a novel, and then the TV series The Terror. God, that was great. Good telly. It also has inspired many novels, a book by national treasure Michael Palin.
