BBC Radio 4 - Mythos, 2. Glamis

Lairre, Parker and Johnson discover a secret door in the secret room of a castle.

An investigation at a castle of a secret room and secret door leads to a folkloric dimension with monsters. Stars Nicola Walker.

Mary Lairre is the ghost of a 16th century French nun murdered at Borley Rectory and rendered corporeal by the mysterious Department.

She's joined by Parker, whose magical abilities rely upon her transforming her entire personality as circumstances require.

Lairre and Parker accompany their boss Johnson to Glamis Castle in Scotland, where a secret door has been discovered. 

The door leads into a folkloric dimension, where monster hunter Libby Ward is tracking a dangerous monster and has kidnapped an innocent American tourist to use as bait. Time bends, dimensions fragment and our heroes realise that the monster Ward is hunting may be a lot closer to home than they thought.

Julian Simpson's paranormal drama starring Nicola Walker.    

Mythos is a series that looks at British folklore through a quasi-scientific prism. It's laced with sardonic humour, ridiculous situations and insane leaps of logic - but its foundations lie in the stories that have become part of the British cultural DNA over the last 2000 years.
