Compilation. Happy New Year, Retrospectors!\xa0\nBefore the show returns on January 3rd, Arion, Rebecca and Olly are taking one last look back at their favourite episodes from 2022.\nIn \u2018Eva Tanguay, Cyclonic Comedienne\u2019, the team recall the events of 1st March, 1910, when the vaudeville megastar was arrested in Kentucky after stabbing a stagehand three times with a hat pin. Her edgy charisma, style and sexuality gave her a stellar career, coupled with suggestive lyrics and wild gossip calculated to keep her in the public eye.\nIn \u2018Captain Blood and the Crown Jewels\u2019, we explain how fugitive Thomas Blood sneaked his way into the Tower of London\u2019s jewel room on 9th May, 1671 \u2013 bludgeoning the 77 year-old Keeper of the Jewels, Talbot Edwards, in the process. The audacious and complex heist involved multiple pairs of white gloves, a fake nephew and stuffing an orb down his trousers.\nFinally, in \u2018Finger Lickin\u2019 Lawsuit\u2019, the Retrospectors recount the events of 14th March, 1978, when Colonel Sanders was at legal loggerheads with the owners of KFC over his constant criticism of their food. As franchises were being rolled out worldwide, Sanders described the new batter as "a damn fried doughball stuck on some chicken", and the iteration of his gravy as "God-damned slop"...\nFurther Reading:\n\u2022 \u2018Attempt to steal the Crown Jewels\u2019 (The National Archives): https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/resources/significant-events/attempt-to-steal-the-crown-jewels/\xa0\n\u2022 \u2018Kentucky Fried Chicken of Bowling Green, Inc. v.
