In this latest episode, the Unexpected duo, Professor James Daybell and Dr Sam Willis get all festive again and offer another Christmas special on the unexpected history of STARS!

It’s also all about the history of Star Wars and the death star, and the symbolism of stars! Oh yes, and it’s all about the Christmas nativity and the Star of Bethlehem! Who knew!
