Ep 209 is loose, and we're back in one of our favourite eras, examining the chaotic murders that haunted Mary Queen of Scots.

What is Mary's story as Queen? Why were the murders around her so significant? And have we solved the mystery of what the chair in the garden was used for?

The secret ingredient is...Scotland!
