This is History's Heroes.
People with purpose, brave ideas and the courage to stand alone,
including a pioneering surgeon who rebuilt the shattered faces of soldiers in the First World War.
You know, he would look at these men and he would say, don't worry,
Sonny, you'll have as good a face as any of us when I'm done with you.
Join me, Alex von Tunzelmann, for History's Heroes.
Hello, I'm Greg Jenner.
I'm the host of Your Dead to Me on BBC Radio 4.
We're the comedy show that takes history seriously.
And we are back for attempt series.
Hooray!
This series we are covering the American War of Independence with Patton Oswalt.
That's right, Remy the Rat from Ratatouille.
We also learn about Jane Austen for her big anniversary with Dr Lucy Worsley and Sally Phillips.
And there's Empress Matilda and the Anarchy with Caryad Lloyd.
Plus loads more.
So that's Series 10 of Your Dead to Me, back on Friday the 4th of July on BBC Sounds.
And I'm looking back on the life of a Hollywood icon whose legacy lives on through more than just her film roles.
She was someone who was interested in invention all her life.
