Once Upon a Time, two cousins set out on a voyage through the history of fairy tales. One was called Gill and she guided her cousin Pete through the perils and pitfalls of folk stories from the traditional tales passed down through generations through to their sanitised Disney counterparts. They find that these stories have their roots in scary nightmarish moral messages but ultimately live happily ever after in their capacity to simply beguile children and adults alike with stories of golden geese, talking llamas and fit swans.

They also answer series 3's first listener question and Gill learns that there is a link between Greenwich and Times Square's New Years Eve Bash!

Happy New Year!!
