Mind Canyon

The Pharaoh's Curse (Charlotte Gittins, Sally Hodgkiss, Briony Redman)

Charlie and Steve are joined by Sally Hodgkiss, Charlotte Gittins and Briony Redman to find out why a security guard disappeared the same day that Ramesses III's tomb was opened. Their journey takes them to the British Museum's lost property department, and I couldn't be bothered to listen to the rest of the episode to see where it goes. But I'm sure it's squarely fine. Lots of love, Geoff the intern.
