Nelson's nemesis
[S2E2] Enter comedian Nick Horseman for a nautical adventure with Admiral Nelson and that sneaky Corsican Napoleon
Season 2, Episode 2: "The Strategist" sniffs out Napoleon Bonaparte [1805 CE] (ft. special guest Nick Horseman)
Special guest rapper and comedian Nick Horseman returns to PastMaster in the year 1805 for an adventure aboard the HMS Victory en route to the Battle of Trafalgar.
With a surreal curveball, Admiral Horatio Nelson’s nemesis, the time travelling Napoleon Bonaparte, turns up below deck on the Victory, blending in among the barrels.
Horseman, fearing he might be branded a traitor, uses his keen sense of smell to implicate Napoleon and prove his allegiance to the crown.
Next, with a long sea voyage ahead, Horseman seeks an audience with Nelson and introduces him to a famous strategy board game , hoping to wile away the long hours together locked in a battle of betrayal, cunning and military acumen.
But will Nelson accept Horseman’s entertaining proposal or have him keelhauled and flogged for a Frenchman?
Name that board game
