Thirty Two, watcha gonna do.
This week we kick things off by discussing what our ideal gothic novel adaptation would be. Chris takes a nautical route while Hannah demands a true-to-the-novel adaptation of a Sci Fi novel.

Story time takes us to the story of Mary Timney, the last woman hanged publicly in Scotland and the history and design of the stunning Glasgow University buildings.

Previous Episode

Twinkle Twinkle Perceptive Eye (Dr. Joseph Bell and Spooky Venice Tales)

Let’s get it done, it’s Episode 31.

Weekly nonsense chat includes Chris’ passionate argument as to why heat should stay in Hell and Hannah’s bank holiday weekend escapades.

Ms Hattie McCap then asks us about true crime TV adaptations: sometimes actors can look a little uncomfortably too like their characters.

Stories include the tale of Dr Joseph Bell and his remarkable gift for deduction. His legacy and influence lives on in more ways than one. Elementary, dear listener. And we hitch a ride on a gondola this week, as Chris guides us through the spooky tales from the streets of Venice. Bellissimo!

Next Episode

Exchanging Their Vowels (Wedding Traditions & Superstitions & Auchencairn Poltergeist)

What shall it be, thirty-three?

Well this week it starts of a big spoooooky when we discuss what our first ever West End show experience was.

Hannah then takes us for a walk down the aisle to see how superstitious the Victorian couple at the end may well have been. More of the strange customs are still around to this day. Can you guess which those might be?
To wrap up this week, Chris tells us the story of the Mackie family and their oh so pesky poltergeist back in the 1600’s.
