Summary

Cat, Richard and Charles are back again as they attempt to uncover as much as they can about the origin stories of.....stuff. As usual they've each been given a topic and seven days in which to find out as much information - and as many weird and wonderful stories - as they possibly can. This week, Richard is heading to Westminster Abbey, Charles is taking on duelling and Cat is getting to the bottom of the cup that is the story of coffee. Can they do enough to convince the Disembodied Voice to award them the victory? Don't forget, if you've a rabbit hole you'd like us to investigate, you can email us at rabbitholedetectives@gmail.com.
