9. The Problem at Gallows Gate

A romantically rebuffed man flings himself off a balcony to his death, but three weeks later is seen strangling one of the witnesses of his own suicide. How is that possible?

Maddie’s been burgled, a badger watch goes tits-up and a supposedly blind trumpet-playing pervert is getting very handsy.

In a thrilling and atmospheric tale with a varied list of strange characters, how will Maddie and Jonathan get to the bottom of this one?

We analyse the story, dig up some location information and track down some astonishing real-world connections to details in the show.

Once again, the untalented Mr William Topaz McGonagall resurrects himself from the grave to watch the episode and pen some lines about it.
