Do you ever stop to think where the stereotypes, social norms, traditions, and beliefs that fill our everyday life come from?

History lovers Alice Loxton and Ben Henderson uncover the origin stories behind all sorts of things - why we dress the way we do, why football is our national sport, why our cities look the way they do.

Where does the idea of Britain’s stiff upper lip come from? And why does our food have such a bad reputation? The shadow of Second World War rationing still looms large.

We’ll explain how stories from history shaped our lives in the present.
