Woah there, 18th Century French person, is that a potato you have? Don't you know they're evil! This week on That Time When, Amelia tells us about Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, known as the father of the potato, and coincidentally happened to look a lot like a potato as well. Seriously, look it up, it's mad. Also find out about Mr Walker's speakeasy and how to poison a king with gifts of suspicious plants.
