Matt reports this week on two pioneers of early aviation history. First up is Otto Lilienthal, a man who popularised the art of flight through 2000 tests. As these were watched by the masses he became known as the Glider King. Soon after a man named Franz Reichelt decided he was going to create a new, safer parachute. His subsequent trials and errors ensured his name as a mainstay in history books forever more. He was the famous Flying Tailor.
Elsewhere, Lorna gives us a lesson on the film series Madagascar as we get waylaid.
This is a new start for the Idiots, as we move into Year 2 of Idiots Talk History!!
