David Livngstone you presume? Correct! One of the most famous people of the Victorian era, David Livingstone was a terrible missionary... But lucky for him he was a fantastic explorer. Travelling to Africa for three seperate epic adventures, he went to an incredible amount of places no other European person had ever been before him. He is also perhaps best remembered for his advocacy against slavery. This week's episode is brought to you by the Harper Collins book 'How To Build A Universe' by the people behind The Infinite Monkey Cage; Professor Brian Cox, Robin Ince and Alexandra Feachem.
