By Nick Warburton. Collection of anecdotes by genial eccentric John Aubrey about the great and good of the 16th and 17th centuries, set against the story of his friendship with Oxford antiquarian Anthony Wood. Aubrey's first batch of notes fails to meet Wood's rigorous standards, and there is a nasty surprise around the corner. John Aubrey ...... James Fleet Anthony Wood ...... John Rowe Directed by Abigail le Fleming.
