  • Hi, I'm Tom Holland, here to tell you about a brand new podcast called The Rest is History with Tom and Dom.

  • So basically, Dominic, what I'm saying is that the idea of greatness comes from ancient history.

  • Yeah.

  • But you, of course, you're a modern historian.

  • So, I mean, basically, you don't have great people.

  • No, not really.

  • Apathy is so underrated.

  • Yes.

  • Because the more, you know, if you ever want to find somewhere where everyone cares about politics,

  • they're talking about politics, that place is Spain, 1934. You don't want to be there.

  • Happy the land that takes no interest in politics.

  • Right, exactly.

  • In the English Civil War, I was identified with the club men.

  • They were people who basically didn't want to fight on either side.

  • They'd fight both.

  • So they would get clubs, hence their name.
