    We're using this opportunity to talk about what we love most about our native county other than its ghosts and witches. (Although it is mainly the ghosts and witches of Lancashire that we love the most, obviously.)

    The song played at the end of this episode is 'The Cockerham Devil' performed by Roberts and Barrand.
