Brian Johnston is in Gloucestershire to hear a story of three people who were executed for a murder that was never committed. He also finds out about two unusual annual events - the Scuttlebrook Wake and Dover's Games.

Down Your Way was a schedule staple for decades - starting on the BBC Home Service in 1946 and ending its run on BBC Radio 4 in 1992. Using a variety of hosts, including Richard Dimbleby and Brian Johnston, the programme toured villages, towns and cities across the UK. At the height of the series' success in the 1950s, it was attracting ten million listeners a week.
