Gather round, detectives, and let me tell you a sordid little tale.

England, 1670.

A week-long gathering at Bellamont Hall has descended into wine, scandal, secret encounters and increasingly questionable decisions. But when one guest is found dead, everyone seems to be hiding something.

Throughout the night, strange sounds echoed through the corridors. Doors opened and closed. Guests slipped quietly between bedchambers. By morning, stories no longer quite matched, alibis had become decidedly complicated, and among the evidence was something nobody could satisfactorily explain: an unusually large courgette found in one of the bedchambers.

Welcome to Bellamont Hall.

Try to behave yourself.

Listener discretion: This episode is a little different and considerably more raunchy than usual, with sexual references, adult humour and graphic language. Listener discretion is advised.

How to Play Along

As you listen, keep your ears sharp for clues—things people say, things they don't say, unusual objects, and strange coincidences.

I'll introduce you to the suspects, take you through the key locations, and guide you step-by-step through the events of the night.

Your mission? Decide who committed the murder and why.

You can jot down notes as we go—a scrap of paper will do.

But beware, there will be red herrings lurking in the shadows, ready to throw you off the scent.

When we reach the end, I'll give you a moment to lock in your guess... before revealing the truth.

Think you can outwit the culprit? Then let's begin...
