It is Glasgow in the year 1793, and things are very different to how they are now. We have Robert Dreghorn, or as the cruel children of Glasgow would call him "Bob the Dragon " (he was disfigured, due to smallpox as a child).

Well, well, and what about our wee Beth, the maid, and her sister Mary Hill who works at the local cotton mill?? As for Maggie Peebles, on the Trongate, oh my..... what on earth happened to her?
Don't be alarmed, it's all very straightforward. Just come along and enjoy your meal alongside these characters and tell us, who shot who? Why? How do you know, ie what evidence do you have? Simple!

It is Windsor Castle, December 1861, and here we are with Albert, Victoria, all of their nine children and the household staff, including John Brown the Ghillie, Greta the cook, Katie the maid, Brown the butler, Hodges the gardener and George the manservant. Of course, Victoria's trusted (or is she?) lady-in-waiting, Sarah, is also with the family, and a photographer has been invited to capture photographs of the happy family at Christmas.
Alas, Bertie, the eldest child and heir to the throne, has been acting quite inappropriately and is due to be exiled to Germany. To make matters worse, Albert and Victoria are at odds! What does Lady Sarah know? Greta the cook certainly knows of one thing and that is that Nellie Clifden has turned up looking for Bertie!
