MYW: The Legend of the Hartlepool Monkey
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Listener Sarah sends Laura to Hartlepool, where a shipwreck, a monkey in uniform and a case of mistaken identity lead to one of the UK’s strangest legends – and its weirdest “trial”.
Meanwhile, Iain dives into modern-day monkey business of his own, featuring a quad bike heist gone wrong and a flying kick that lands someone in jail (for a day).
