S4E3 Broadmoor, Brains and Rhubarb

Switchblade Sisters Social Club

In this episode, Dee takes Emma on a wild ride through the infamous Broadmoor Prison, the UK's most notorious high-security psychiatric hospital. But don’t worry, we manage to sneak in a lot of laughs between the dark history lessons. Here’s a taste of what’s coming up:

From Lunatics to Rhubarb: Society's view of mental health has changed so much over time, from locking people away forever to, uh, prescribing rhubarb. Rhubarb! Can it cure a broken mind? Spoiler: probably not.

Idiots vs. Imbeciles: Dee attempts to explain the very important distinction between an idiot and an imbecile, leaving Emma wondering if she's accidentally dated both. (Haven’t we all?)

Spoon-fed Nightmare Fuel: Someone at Broadmoor once ate a brain. With a spoon. Bon appétit? Emma's still recovering from this revelation, and Dee's taking notes in case they run out of snack ideas at their next Christmas Crimes event (10th & 11th December at Brewery Market, FYI. More info to follow).

The Jimmy Savile, Yorkshire Ripper & Frank Bruno Triangle: What do these three have in common besides being questionable dinner guests?

Broadmoor for Sale?!: It’s official – Broadmoor is up for sale! Who’s buying? Emma suggests it could make a trendy Airbnb if you don’t mind the ghost of Jack the Ripper roaming the halls. Speaking of which, did he end up there? Tune in for our conspiracy theory of the week!

Why Won’t You Date Us?!: As always, we’re closing out with more applications to date us (the romantic kind, not the forensic kind). Why are they so few and far between? Is it because we talk too much about brains and murder? Sigh

Buckle up – this episode is a twisted mix of crime, history, and… well, rhubarb!
