Episode thirty - "Cadfael" (season two, episode three "A Morbid Taste For Bones")

A monk gets bled, has a hallucination, gets fed opium, and the upshot is that there is a murder that Cadfael has to solve, in three days or less. The twelfth century is tough enough without all the slings, arrows, and outrageous hair extensions, but Derek Jacobi and his tonsure are here to save the day.

This one wasn't Lex's fave (despite the presence of the Demon Headmaster - apols for the 20 mins we spend discussing his resume), but Lily is a fan of this particular time period so is happy to award extra points based on that alone.

Beware the townsfolk that move as one, beware the poppy juice, and beware of overly heavy caskets supposedly containing the bones of a saint...

The sound is a bit dodgy on this one, apologies for that. We were in two very different environments, in different parts of the country, and were playing with a flickering internet connection. Go team!

This podcast contains descriptions of ficionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

Season 4, episodes 4 and 5 - "A Good Body."
Season 27, episodes 1 and 2 - "Effective Range."
