Medieval Christmas
Greg Jenner with a festive edition. Along with Miles Jupp and historian Eleanor Janega, he explores Christmas in medieval times - the food, rituals, traditions and festivities.
Greg and his guests Miles Jupp and Dr Eleanor Janega go back to the medieval Christmas for this one-off festive special. We look at the history and traditions that have thankfully continued through the ages, like gift-giving and stuffed wild boars (although numbers on stuffed wild boar we're told are down from previous years) and some that have mysteriously fallen off from the radar completely, like the masked carol singers and jellied eels.
