Death from heart failure spikes seven times the national average in a village. Agent Lairre investigates. Stars Nicola Walker.

Incidents of death from heart failure have spiked at seven times the national average in a small Essex village.

Agent Lairre investigates.

Julian Simpson's three-part paranormal drama starring Nicola Walker.

Mythos is a series that looks at British folklore through a quasi-scientific prism.

It's laced with sardonic humour, ridiculous situations and insane leaps of logic - but its foundations lie in the stories that have become part of the British cultural DNA over the last 2000 years.
