Series one, episode one
A spinning Ancient Egyptian statue in Manchester? Aliens in Suffolk? The ghost of Guy Fawkes? Ben Shephard and Julia Bradbury want to believe. But rather disappointingly, the more they look into the various ‘mysteries’ they come across, the more bathetic the exercise becomes. They’re all explainable and pretty easily so.

So eventually, this becomes little more than a fond but aimless tribute to Britain at its most gently quirky – no Roswells or catacombs or Holy Grails for us, but instead a procession of badly staged pranks caught on camera and some credulous East Anglians. Shephard and Bradbury are amiable hosts, but watching them kindly puncturing each balloon eventually becomes a little repetitive.
