About this episode
It's time to go back to the beginning and take another look at the story of Dr Lamson and the Dundee Cake!
Revisited are new bonus episodes where we re-record and refresh early episodes of The Poisoners' Cabinet to improve quality and offer new perspectives - and drinks!
This week it's the story of Dr George Lamson, the Wimbledon Poisoner. Why was this decorated war hero so bad at his job? What is the deal with Bournemouth? And are YOU a swell pill-taker?
The secret ingredient remains...a Dundee cake!
