Episode 11 takes a bit of a different turn into a harrowing disaster on the Thames. We didn't realise it, but this episode has been launched 4 days after the 35 year anniversary of the incident!

Listen as Hannah walks us through the the events that led to the capsizing of the pleasure boat Marchioness on 20th August 1989 resulting in 51 deaths!

So buckle up lads!
