In this episode of Twisted Britain, Bob and Ali take us back to the early 19th century, to the small English village of Strewd, where a heinous crime took place amidst the social upheaval of the Industrial Revolution. The hosts dive deep into the harrowing case of Richard Taylor, a 13-year-old boy, brutally murdered by 14-year-old John Bell. With themes of jealousy, poverty, and social divide, the episode explores how economic struggles and resentment fueled this shocking crime.

OMGoodness, the woman just keeps interrupting!
Are all the episodes going to be done in an obnoxiously loud bar? It’s very difficult to listen to the heart wrenching sexual assault of a child while drunk people are laughing in the background..
"One more thing before we jump into this episode..." Sweet beJeesus, this is a joke - 10minutes of blabbing & the episode's just over 30mins long, there ain't no "jumping in" to anything, here. Too much blabbing, not enough crime. I'm out. Bye ✌️
moray firth at Aberdeen? wow,even the basic facts he's getting wrong 🤔 I'm out without finishing it. amateur level is being kind .
under 30 minute podcast, doesn't even mention the case until around 11 minutes. absolute joke of a podcast,first episode ever listening to show...get on with it already....11 minutes of white noise.
love what you are doing with the show. jeep it up.
You two are great. Great stories, great host. Love this podcast. Please keep going.
Amazing stories from both of you. Halloween show reminded the dead are fine. its the living you have to worry about. I am SO glad to have listened on an bright spring day. Your research is excellent and the balance of humour and respect is admirable and that is it really shows it your podcast what great friends you are. Only a few reasons why I LOVE Twisted Britain.
