S3E65 – The Isle of Thanet

The Isle of Thanet

Ah, the Isle of Thanet! A place of great antiquity. Some say its name comes from “Ynys Thanatos” – the Isle of the Dead – a folkloric curio which James totally neglects to mention, and instead spends most of the episode talking about rollercoasters.

But the ups-and-downs of Thanet don’t end there. We also have an over-hyped hero, a touchy ghost and someone called Erminburga. Plus at least one “fun fact” and minimum two murdered princes. (The standard Loremen ratio.)

The Loremen are Alasdair Beckett-King & James Shakeshaft.
