Ep 199 - The Great Fire of London

The Poisoners' Cabinet

Ep 199 is loose, and we have a big one for you - we're talking about all the crimes and misdemeanors that occurred during The Great Fire of London!

Who or what started the fire? How much of what we know of the blaze is true? And what cheese would you save in a disaster?

The secret ingredient is...a biscuit!
