Valentino reaches out to Edward "Ned" Kynaston, star actor of the King's Company, who was once the most revered and adored "boy player" of the pre-actress era. Convinced he can help Ned with modern ideas, he hopes their conversation will be the key to getting back home...no matter how jealous Valentino and Ned's chemistry might make Samuel. But when things go awry, Jane steps in with an intriguing offer...an offer that definitely isn't a trap, no way.  S1 of The Peek Stars:  Samuel Pepys – Ethan Peña Mock The Stranger / Valentino – Charlie B.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519963/fan_mail/new] Celebrity gossip has NEVER been juicer than this.  Like, literally. It’s the 1660s. We just invented celebrities last week. Pepys and "Valentino" have begun their podcast, The Peek with Samuel Pepys, in earnest. Their first topic? What exactly is going on with the monarchy (Valentino was never much of a history buff), where's Shakespeare, and which came first: King Charles II or his spaniels? The men are then unexpectedly visited by actress Nell Gwyn, and her arrival brings them one step closer to uncovering where the concept of celebrity truly began.  S1 of The Peek Stars:  Samuel Pepys – Ethan Peña Mock The Stranger / Valentino – Charlie B.
