#18 Emergency Services
This week we're taking a look through history at the BIG THREE emergency services: Police, Fire Brigade and the Ambulance service (with all due respect to the Coastguard and to a lesser extent The AA). We'll talk through the origins of the police and fire brigade in Ancient Rome, plus how the ambulance developed across Europe's battlefields. All the usual features are back and ONE DAY TIME MACHINE has a twist this week: what three buttons are you choosing for your time machine? Can you better Elis' selections? Also feel free to sketch what your time machine looks like and we'll put the best ones on our instagram.
