What happens when you try to die as quickly as possible in one of medieval England's most peaceful locations?

It's the return of "Death Wish Speed Run", the series where we attempt to get ourselves murdered by history as quickly, and as stylishly as possible!

After the grim success of the Australian penal colony Death Wish episode, the we decided to make things harder: choosing a peaceful, holy setting where violence is scarce and Christian patience runs deep.

Ryan arrives at one of England's first and most prestigious nunneries with a plan to convince the sisters he is Jesus in an attempt to provoke rapid execution. But Sister Edberg and her fellow nuns prove remarkably difficult to scandalise.

Throughout, Game Master Claude enforces uncomfortable historical realism, rejecting quick theatrical deaths in favour of slow deterioration from hypothermia and starvation. Cheers mate.

Tune in next week for Part 2 of 3 to hear how Nick fares against the tough medieval Nuns.
