This episode features not only the titular Roman Robot and a (potentially) BAFTA-winning sitcom idea — but James ALSO chucks in a selection of ghostly tales from the Cirencester area. You know, like when you've ordered something online and you get tiny bag of free Haribo. Enjoy!

Comedian Ed Night joins the Loreboys to share legends of Streatham in South London. These stories range from contemporary urban legends to tales from when all this were fields. Plus, a cameo from the Vincent Van Gogh of the art world: Vincent Van Gogh.

Check out Ed's tour here.

Content Warning: Self-harm, in reference to Van Gogh. We also discuss the case of the supposed "Croydon Cat Killer". And we're as tactful about it as we can be, but the name should give you a sense of the subject matter.

The wind whistles. The rain pours incessantly. It is also night time. Alasdair shelters in the only place he can in this bleak moor - under a big stone. But who's that fella coming down the track? The figure with a lantern and a slouch hat (look it up, it's the one with the fancy brim, not a beanie). Yes, it's James of course, with a terrifying tale from Wales!

We visit The Queen's House* in Greenwich, where a spiral staircase is haunted by a blurry ghost. And a stroll in Greenwich Park is no walk in the cake either. The park is home to early medieval barrows, disrespectful deer and very nasty things that like to drop from trees.

*Don't worry, she was out.

Nat Doig of Weird in the Wade (BBC Sounds) joins the Loreboys to (stand and) deliver the tales of some Bedfordshire highwaymen with absolutely superb names. Hold your ghost horses! The names are not that rude. But if you wouldn't want to look them up on your work computer.

The Loremen welcome comedy writer and connoisseur of the supernatural Joel Morris (Philomena Cunk, A Touch of Cloth). Joel's hit podcast Broken Veil has seen him and Will Maclean venturing into the spookiest parts of his native Essex. And in this episode, the boys join Joel on a proverbial witch hunt.

We find witches, wizards, a cat called Sathan and let's not forget... Old Picky.

James spins another yarn from the moors of Devon. It's the tale of Reverend Dodge, a vicar so fearsome his name caused demons to turn and flee!

Let's be honest, this episode isn't the first time the boys have sung the Ghostbusters theme in West Country accents. And darn it, it won't be the last! We may also have got popular puppet Hacker T. Dog's name wrong several times, but we swear it was an accident. We're just innocent men.

James tells the true story of a man who escaped the hangman's noose, not once, not twice and not four times either.

The life of John "Babbacombe" Lee was made into a silent film in 1912. Smash-cut to 2025, and James is retelling the tale with his usual cinematic panache. Yes, this is a James Shakeshaft Joint starring your two favourite Loreboys.
