In 1825, the Bishop of Sodor and Man, George Murray, imposed a tithe on green crops and set tithes far higher than in Great Britain or Ireland. This resulted in riots throughout the Island. We hear part of the account written by the Bishop's wife, Lady Sarah Murray, of the very real dangers and of avoiding the wrath of the mobs.

Our story in Manx is a translation of a satire by American writer Elizabeth Eve King on television talk shows and the uncritical embracing of facile answers to life's difficult questions. She creates two brothers with a name based on that of Deepak Chopra, whilst in this version, a woman by the name of Danielle Egnew becomes Danielle Oohnoa.
