The Wagatha Christie trial as it came to me in a dream

Send us Fan MailThis TudoRama podcast describes a dream in which news items about the so-called Wagatha Christie libel case get hopelessly muddled up with the plot of the classic English novel, Vanity Fair. It might have been an over-generous glass of Three Barrels VSOP too late at night which contributed to a most peculiar dream.
