Greg Jenner and his guests lift the lid on one of Ancient Egypt's greatest rulers, Ramesses the Great. How did Ramesses acquire the nickname 'The Great'? What were the reasons for the adulation he received from his subjects? How long did he rule and how many temples were built in his honour? Greg discusses these questions and many more with his guests, the comedian and writer Sophie Duker and the historical expert Dr Campbell Price. Produced by Greg Jenner and Emma Nagouse

Do you go to the tip?
Believe it or not, yeah, I do.
Do you go to the supermarket?
No.
You know when all the shirts started getting tight on the players and they started selling them like that to the general public?
Yeah, yeah.
And everyone looked like sausages.

Hello, Greg here.
Hope you're doing well and I hope you have been enjoying series seven of your dead to me.
Lots of fun for us to make that one.
We've really enjoyed it and we've had some lovely feedback from you all.
Thank you.
Glad you like it.
We have one episode left in the series.
It's a big, spectacular one.
It's our live special all about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, where we were joined by an orchestra, an absolutely massive orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, 54 musicians and a conductor, and David O'Dougherty in Comedy Corner.
