In the first of a series of episodes focused on mysteries, Matt reports on the Lost Colony of Roanoke. British settlers in North America disappeared in the late sixteenth century, leaving no trace of their settlement behind. For the past 400 years historians have tried to deduce what happened to the colony, and yet the answer remains elusive. Matt and Lorna finally figure it out! (They don’t.)

There’s a lot of getting distracted this week, from Sir Walter Rally-Car to mentions of Cluedo murders, and a couple of Matt’s terrible jokes for good measure.
