28m · Bad Manors · 14 Aug 23:00

On today's episode, we are going to Tutbury Castle, where we're planning on getting sick, spooky, and a little bit sexy.

It's where Mary, Queen of Scots, was held for the last few years of her life until they lopped her head off and has been on the frontline of English fighting for hundreds of years having been destroyed and rebuilt countless times. Today's expert guests are Lesley Smith & Gareth Williams, Curator & Director of Research at Tutbury Castle. Strap in - it's a hell of a ride.

Tom will be performing his new work in progress all month at Edinburgh Festival. Catch the show everyday at 7pm at the Laughing Horse at The Counting House (Aug 7-27).
