Please note that this episode contains spoilers from the film \\u2018The Duke\\u2019.

Kempton Bunton was a taxi driver who stole Goya\\u2019s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first and remains the only, theft in the Gallery\\u2019s history. Kempton proceeded to send ransom notes declaring that he would only return the painting on the condition that the government invest more in care for the elderly, specifically bringing attention to his long-running campaign for pensioners to receive free television.

With Dan currently away in Antarctica, Matt Lewis, from the \\u2018Gone Medieval\\u2019 podcast, stepped in to make sure that you did not miss out on this caper that details the theft and the following trial. Matt is joined by Kempton Bunton\'s grandson, Chris, for a discussion of \\u2018The Duke\\u2019 and the remarkable true story behind the film.

\\u2018The Duke\\u2019 is in UK cinemas from 25th February.
