BBC Radio 4 Extra - The Sinha Carta

Comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha examines our most important legal document.

Comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha examines our most important legal document including some of its 63 Latin clauses. From 2015.

Magna Carta is a document, over 800 years old, that surprisingly few people have read, considering how important it is. 

Luckily for you, comedian and quizzer Paul Sinha (The Chase) has read it, and it turns out it's ace, especially if you love keeping your own timber and hate fishing traps in the River Medway.

Get ready as Paul will be explaining why what’s in it is in it - how it came to be - and guide you through some of its 63 clauses of medieval Latin. 

He'll also supply some new, modern clauses, for a Magna Carta fit for a modern Britain.

Written and performed by Paul Sinha.  

Producer:  Ed Morrish

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2015.
