About this episode

The episode explores London myths and tales, including the origins of the Pearly Kings and Queens, and features a sauce tasting segment.

It’s time to dive into another book in this week’s CheapShow! Thanks to a kind listener, Paul has gotten his hands on a book called “London Lore” by Steve Roud. It tells of the tall tales and myths of London, so the cheap chaps have a look at some places they are familiar with. They stumble on a truly nonsense poltergeist story that fails to impress, but their second story is a lot more interesting. Turns out that the famous “Pearly Kings and Queens” of the UK capital have a truly fascinating beginning, not in the East of London… but in the North? If all that reading isn’t your taste, how about some Sauce Report action? Eli’s been informed that there is a range of sauces found in B&M, that are based on Seabrooks’ crisp flavours! How good can they be? It’s up to the Sauce Professors to give them a proper taste test, JUST for you. Also, it seems all this “Content House” rubbish is getting TOO intrusive for Paul & Eli!
