If you could go back in time and witness any big event in history, which one would it be

[MyPithyCat]

For me it'd be the first commercial radio broadcast on 2nd November 1920. That's the best type of radio (even though it'd adverts every 15-20 minutes) but I'd love to see how it all began

The construction of Stonehenge.

Henry the 8ths court

I’d like to go to the premiere performance of Macbeth at Shakespeare’s Globe.

Good one! To see how it was really built. Great idea.

The Battle of Bosworth.

Or Romeo and Juliet, or A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I’m not fussy.

Greatfire of London or building of tower of London

The Putney Debates 1647

Interesting question. I wouldn't mind going back c5,000 years to see what happened at Callanish at the lunar standstill. I don't know which year, whichever one was the most informative.

The Great Exhibition 1851

This is a great answer! That would have been fascinating

To be in Berlin for the fall of the Berlin Wall

The construction of the Terracotta Army.
Putting the top stones on the Egyptian pyramids.
First studio recording for The Goodies 😁

Absolutely. Interesting but nerve wracking at the same time.

VE day.
Great Fire of London
Queen Elizabeth II coronation
Pompeii - but watching from Pliny's house.

D day , or the queen's Coronation. A time when everyone was proud to be British , no painting of roundabouts or flag shagging. Just great genuine pride in fellow humanity

Not an event, but a day in the palaeolithic era. I can't get my head around that being 99% of human history and really just how people survived it at all!

The great mortality.

Indeed and also why - because we are all guessing!

Yes agree with BoB too.

I'd go the first one at Hampton Court... although that said, I'm not one for monarchy, so actually the Globe probably would be a better bet with the groundlings!

Yes to the former, but only from Pepys' house on Bankside.

Scotland winning the World Cup. Oh wait, that’s not going back that’s going forward…

Where though - as it was across Europe? I think I would like to - from a birds eye view - go to Eyam.

• Some point between 450 and 480 AD when the Romans left and the English,i.e the various Germans tribes, Angles, Daxons, Jutes, Frisians, etc, moved in.
• The death of Socrates
• The first performance of Hamlet or King Lear at the Globe theatre.
• The execution of Charles I.
• Dickens giving a public reading of Nicholas Nickelby in my home town on a snowy day in 1862 (the pub is still there).
• The moment Darwin first set foot on the Galapagos islands.
• The execution of the French king during the Revolution, and also of Marie Antoinette.
• The moment the Vikings attacked Lindisfarne in the 8th-century, which really began the Viking Age.
• The first contact between Europeans and Native Indians.

Oh I would like to know what happened to Owain Glyndwr please.

I'm showing my lack of culture here 😭

but oasis in their hey day

And the Watch the Throne tour with kanye and Jay z, before kanye... you know
