Following on from Cicero and Sigmund Freud, what other characters would be good for a bozset of their own?

Albert Einstein retires to a small northern hamlet where he becomes a best selling mystery novelist and solves real life murders. He has side kicks like the friendly, if over matched, sheriff. Oh wait a minute.

Tesla and all the experiments into God-knows-what he got up to.

How far back do we have to go in order for them to be qualified as historical figures? Because I think a boxset on Muhammad Ali could be rather interesting.

An adaptation of Diary of a Young Girl (better known as the Diary of Anne Frank) maybe? I can understand if the subject matter is uncomfortable. It is an iconic piece from an infamous period of history.

It is an iconic piece from an infamous period of history. I think you will find that modern day Germans recognise and understand what happened at that time,(condemning it of course) but have long since come to terms with it and have moved on with their lives, embracing the future like all of us.(I speak from experience) uncomfortable?Not anymore!
Some years ago I went to Amsterdam,and visited the house of Anne Frank(now a museum) it was very emotional,and heart-rendering. But essential if you find yourself in Amsterdam,everyone should have a sense of history. As I understand it a lot of young New-Zealanders and Australians, like to take time out to visit Europe at some point.If you get the opportunity JB,put Anne Franks house near the top of your list.
Would Big Finish make a good adaptation of it? Of course they would.
I have not researched this, but I suspect it has been adapted many times in the past, Radio, TV, Books, etc

I put the disclaimer because for some it can be a sensitive topic for personal reasons. Treated with the utmost respect Big Finish could indeed do a fine adaptation. |

William IV and his habit of going for walks on his own.
When he was still just Duke of wherever (Clarence?) and in the Royal Navy, he had to be stopped for going for walks on his own in New York because it became apparent that George Washington was planning to have him kidnapped. Even when he first became king he carried on taking unaccompanied strolls for a while.

Tesla and all the experiments into God-knows-what he got up to. He was certainly a Genius and way-ahead of his time. |

Diocletian.
I rather suspect he saved the united Roman Empire another 200 years.
Or perhaps, later: Alaric. From his perspective.
