Over the course of our four seasons of play, Lady Penelope has met a fair number of famous (and not-so-famous) historical characters. Here is the full list (in order of appearance), with their Wikipedia links. Asterisks indicate characters whom Penelope met several times or took on board of her TARDIS. One of them is even given two asterisks, because he actually travelled through time and space with our Time Lady several episodes!
Dr John Dee * (and his devoted daughter Mary)
King Arthur * (OK, semi-historical), Galven * (Gawaine) and Bedwyr * (Bedivere)
Emperor Nero
King Richard III, Lady Anne Neville and Lady Elizabeth Woodville
Jack the Ripper (the real one!)
King James I and his favourite Robert Carr
Francis Bacon *
Christopher Marlowe **
William Shakespeare * and Thomas Kyd
