Love And Sex In South Korea

Friday, 1 August at 8.30pm

Sunday, 28 September at 9.25pm (7 parts)

Do ghosts exist? Are you Team Believer or Team Sceptic? Danny Robins investigates real-life stories of seemingly paranormal encounters. In this series, the hit podcast Uncanny comes to our screens.
Uncanny features real-life stories of apparently supernatural encounters told by the people they happened to - experiences that appear to defy logical explanation. Or do they?

In each of the episodes, Danny Robins investigates a new case and tries to help those involved understand what happened to them. Can their experiences be explained – or could they really be evidence of the supernatural?

Episode 1 - Case 1: Miss Howard

In the first case of the series, Danny is visited in his studio by Cate, who is haunted by memories of her childhood and wants answers to a mystery that’s haunted her all her life. Cate grew up in an old house in the quintessentially English village of Melbourn, Cambridgeshire, in the 1970s. After her father started renovation works on the property, Cate began to be visited a mysterious woman known simply as Miss Howard. Who was she? Could she have been a ghost disturbed by the building works? Might she be the spirit of a former resident? Danny’s investigation into the case sees him interview former residents of the house. He also dives into the history of the village, explores the theory of ‘time slips’, and examines the hallucinatory effects of domestic mould. The audience is invited to share their theories and help crack the case.

Flatmates Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonny Brugh), and Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) are three vampires who are just trying to get by in modern society; from paying rent and sticking to the housework roster to trying to get invited into nightclubs, they’re just like anyone else - except they’re immortal and must feast on human blood.

When their 8000-year-old flatmate Petyr, turns 20-something human hipster Nick, into a vampire, the guys must teach him the ropes and guide him through his newfound eternal life. And in return they are forced to learn a thing or two about modern society, fashions, technology, and the internet.

But it’s the introduction of Nick’s human friend, Stu, that really changes the vampire’s lives and attitudes towards the ever-changing world around them. When Stu’s life is threatened, the vamps show us that maybe humans are worth fighting for, and that even though your heart may be cold and dead, it doesn’t mean you can’t feel anything.
