Comedian Ellie Taylor argues why she thinks the UK should split into lots of kingdoms.

Stand-up show with Ellie Taylor where she talks about a controversial subject with help from her side-kick Robin Morgan, the studio audience & special guest historian Gabby Storey.

Ellie Taylor welcomes you to "Safe Space", a place where anyone can offload their controversial opinions without fear of judgment.

She talks to members of the public about their gripes and dislikes. This week she argues that the United Kingdom should break up into lots of little kingdoms, Game of Thrones style! So not just England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - Ellie thinks all the regions and cities should become independent too. 

Joining Ellie to prove her point is regular sidekick Robin Morgan.

With special guest: Medieval Historian, Gabby Storey. She chats to Ellie about what the UK was like when it was broken up into lots of kingdoms in medieval times, why history teaches us that independent kingdoms don't always get along and what she'd choose to have on her own flag of independence. 

Written by and starring Ellie Taylor and Robin Morgan.
