Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Introducing Lady Swindlers Series 2
Q: Do you think women are particularly drawn to alternative therapies because sometimes they've been left out of conventional medicine that's been more centred on men?
Yes, the world is built around a male model; even female heart attacks are underdiagnosed because people look for male symptoms.
Introducing Lady Swindlers Series 2
Q: Deborah, do you think that this makes the supernatural more attractive for some people now?
Today, as in the early 19th century, we have that same feeling of uncertainty with wars raging and financial insecurity.
S1. Case 4: Emily's Room
Q: What would you say to somebody who said ghosts don't exist and it's just bad luck?
Go and live in that house for six months on your own and then come back and tell me if you still have the same opinion.
S1. Case 4: Emily's Room
Q: Would you like to see a ghost?
I would love to see a ghost, until I sort of saw Angela's story, which gave me second thoughts.
Introducing The Battersea Poltergeist
Q: Evelyn, how about you?
I'm going to say yes.
