In this episode – 22 March 1925 – we find out what happened when a coal mine closed. It’s not good. Especially, when there’s a new source of energy from far, far away. A couple of prominent people died this week and hundreds of not very prominent people died in the United States. A communist is kidnapped but no one knows who by. My money’s on Ukrainians who have every reason to dislike communists. Madam Tussaud’s suffers a terrible fire but they’d better not rebuild in fireproof steel – the unions wouldn’t like that. Another venerable institution that they’re trying to rebuild is the gold standard. But not if Mr Keynes has anything to do with it.
