    Ep 2: Unflappable
    Nov 17 2022

    The first female youth cult of modern times means a revolution in hair, shockingly short skirts and yes, more dancing.

    But what about the ‘unflappable’ women who became professionals and politicians, thanks to the change in female status brought about during the war? Meet the controversial woman who pioneered female policing, but rather overdid it.

    Ep 3: Britain Off Its Head
    Nov 17 2022

    Despite the government’s efforts to control drinking and drug abuse, narcotics were widely available, and alcohol was widely abused. Women were at the centre of shocking behaviour over both, and predictably the press was suitably scandalised.

    We introduce the nightclub queen who employed ‘292 women of the unfortunate class’.

Stephen Fry is a terrific narrator. The programs are well-produced and highly entertaining. Covers a broad range of subjects.

Highly recommended narrative of the 20s that provides insight into the happenings of the time.

An Excellent Story

Stephen Fry is such an amazing and animated narrator. The 20s are an era that I've heard much about, but I have very little knowledge of the details. Learning about Flappers, sexuality the great war, the suffrage movement. To learn more about a fascinating time period is always welcomed, but to hear an interesting tale told by such an impressive and talented person like Stephen Fry, that's a win-win.

I highly recommend these series and the previous two, the Edwardian and the Victorian eras.

Read by a legend

Once I finished Victorian and Edwardian Secrets I couldn’t wait for another series. What a great surprise to find the Stephen Fry’s Secrets of the Roaring Twenties. Great writing, entertaining delivery and lots of fascinating historical stories.

Exceedingly entertaining and educational! Stephen Fry and his team always delivers.
