Plus, for afters, we have a couple of historical festive recipes that have now - inexplicably! - gone out of fashion.

In this episode, we have a rare and remarkable Christmas treat, courtesy of our RPS Museum archives: a long-lost gramophone recording from 1888, made by the RPS' first female member, Fanny Elizabeth Potter.
