  • Résumé

  • The life stories of the people who have shaped our own, told through the obituaries pages of The Times. As Nelson Mandela noted, “you can’t really be proud of yourself if you don’t know your history”. Anna Temkin, Deputy Obituaries Editor at The Times, introduces the endlessly fascinating stories that tell us about how we got to this point in history.


    The Times has published daily obituaries for over a century. Now, each week Anna builds on that legacy as she is joined by voices from across the paper to explore the lives which have enriched and informed our own lives.


    New episodes every Tuesday.

    President Ebrahim Raisi & Commander ‘Sharkey’ Ward
    May 28 2024

    Each week we explore two fascinating lives. Often they’ll be remarkable people whose achievements are universally celebrated. But sometimes, they’ll be people whose lives have other significance. Today we hear two life stories: one about the Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi who died, along with the Iranian foreign minister, in a helicopter crash. And we look back on the life of Commander ‘Sharkey’ Ward, a decorated British pilot who played a decisive role in the Falklands war.
