Further details

Stone Age Murder - The very early days of forensic science. David and Olivia play a pair of stone-age policemen who are shocked to discover the murder weapon was some kind of stone implement. "Not again. It's rife."

Admiral Donitz - the true story of Hitler's successor, Admiral Donitz, and how he must have felt landing the top job at a slightly tricky time for the Nazi party.

Interested In Torture - Rob plays an estate agent who thinks he's fascinated by torture, until he hears about what's really involved.

Stone Age Murder - Our detectives ask another caveman to take part in a reconstruction that turns out to be a bit too realistic.

The Chiropractor - David's chiropractor often tells him about things that happen to him at work that would make a great comedy sketch. This is the result. A sketch that ties itself in a massive comedy knot and leaves your brain hurting.
