Lady Killers, with me, Lucy Worsley is back.

After two seasons now of chasing lady swindlers, thieves, hustlers, women on the make,

we're back examining the cases of women who take.

They take lives, they take the headlines, they take it all.

Are you ready to play, detective?

Come at once, come at once. There's been a terrible accident. Get out of my house at once. I hate you. Get out. I will shoot you. I will shoot you. I'm going.

God. What have you done?

Michael, come back to me, Michael, Michael!

The whodunit begins, and the police are getting creative.

I tested the perambulator to see whether it would bear the weight of a body.

I got into it myself, was covered up, and wheeled about in it.

In court, it's a classic case of his word against hers, and guess who gets believed. Spoiler,

it's not the woman. He's an old murderer. He did the deed. She's been lying there all this time, and me in the house.

Some lady killers swear they're innocent.

Have you anything to say why the court should not proceed to pronounce sentence of death upon you?

Only that I am innocent of this crime.

While others parade their guilt in front of the press.

I'm the woman who shot her lover.

Have a good look at me.

This season we'll meet a body snatcher, a killer daughter and a murderous lover as we travel across England, Scotland and the USA.

And this time we've got a surprise for you.
