A macabre fascination leads us into a world of real and rumoured stories of people walled up in buildings — from castles and crypts to cottages and campuses. Join us as we quiz each other (and our long-suffering pilot Simon) on which tales are fact, fiction, or just dodgy urban legend. There’s history, horror, and a surprising amount of flapper dresses and mobsters. Plus, we bust some widely believed myths that turned out to be absolute bollocks.
