Ramble on in search of filth with Restoration London's most promiscuous, booze addled, royalty offending, saucy poetry writing genius - John Wilmot 2nd Earl of Rochester.
It's a disgraceful double-ended tale of Italian sex woodwork, highway robbery, park abuse and rhyming couplets.
How many years did Rochester spend permanently drunk?How offensive was the poem he accidentally gave to King Charles II?What happened under the shrubbery in Hyde park when the sun went down?Was Rochester brilliant or awful or both? The answer to these and so many more questions will be answered in episode 35 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
