S12 Ep 525: More Gyms and Antigua Memories

David goes to Berry Pomeroy Castle allegedly the most haunted castle in England. It's getting dark and the castle is closed so he scales the locked gate and calls Joe. It get's darker. He get's more spooked. He hears noises and wonders if he will see the ghost of the Blue Lady. As he approaches the castle he starts to think someone is watching him. He decides it's not worth it just to get the pod in the charts. Joe tries his best to get David to go and sit on the bench next to the castle. David's had enough and runs back to the car in the pitch black.

Historian Andrew Chatterton reveals the long-hidden secrets of an undercover resistance network set up during WW2 in case of German invasion. He tells David & Joe about networks of civilians who appeared to be leading normal lives but were undertaking training in sabotage and guerilla warfare (and not telling their families what they were up to). David & Joe are hanging off his every word. He goes on to explain about a network of hidden underground bunkers which would have been used to slow down the Germans advance. They decide Andrew must get a lot of date nights with his fascinating stories. Joe decides he doesn't want the job of Patrol Leader as he might have to assasinate someone.
