The Confession of Lady Antonia Fraser
There's a bucolic nostalgia about today's confession of guilty secrets. Stephen Mangan talks to historian, biographer and novelist Antonia Fraser.
Stephen Mangan鈥檚 series of soul-searching, self-abasement and moral pratfalls. Each week, he invites a different eminent guest into his virtual confessional booth to make three confessions.
This is a cue for some rich and varied story-telling and surprising insights as their confessions are put under the microscope.
In this episode, Stephen examines the conscience of historian and biographer Antonia Fraser. There are stories here of royal parties, theft and fake masses.
Other guests in this series are Jessie Cave, Neil Dudgeon, Sheila Hancock, Maisie Adam and Ben Bailey Smith (aka Doc Brown).
