Summary

Two tales from the early to mid 1980's come this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where we are off back to Bristol to hear a tale of one of a certain cancelled tv show's earliest successes; and then to Essex - where no other word will suffice to describe the events depicted than senseless. 

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  injury detail, that some listeners may find offensive, disturbing, and or highly distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
