Cleopatra
Manage episode 404915622 series 3533533
The relationship between Cleopatra of Egypt and Mark Antony of Rome is one of the great romances in human history - much like Hugh's marriage, only not at all.
Join us as we reach back to antiquity and uncover the real woman behind the legendary Queen. Discover why everyone in Egypt had the same name.
Marvel at how Cleo was able to marry her relatives, have an affair with Julius Caesar AND deliver over a thousand children.
And titter as you hear about the saucy Euro camping holiday Douglas and Hugh shared as youths.
Sex, drugs, eunuchs and deadly snakes - this episode has it all!
