Series 6
In the first episode of Series Six hear Olly Belcher, Past President of the St Edmund Hall Association, in conversation with Lord William Hague, the Chancellor of Oxford University, a role he describes as “the honour of his life”. As well as the Chancellor, Lord Hague is a “Visitor” to Teddy Hall, a role that is great fun until there is trouble! Lord Hague is renowned for his 26 years in British politics and served as Leader of the Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition from 1997 to 2001. He returned to frontline politics under David Cameron, serving as Foreign Secretary from 2010 to 2014, and subsequently as Leader of the House of Commons until stepping down from Parliament in 2015.

In this episode, Andrew Peach, an Aularian well known for his broadcasting career, kindly offered to host the conversation with Anneli Howard. Anneli came up to the Hall in 1991 to read Law. She had an extraordinary approach to choosing her degree – a Russian Roulette between English, Drama and Law. After Oxford, Anneli left her love of drama behind and pursued law as her career. She is now, amongst other things, a recognised Thought Leader on Brexit having taken on the UK government over Brexit 10 years ago now.
