About this Episode
The Wicker Man (1973) is on trial this week. Do we like these apples or is it a basket case?
Gav argues a gripping story about paganism and Christianity topped off with one of the finest finales in horror history make this a classic. Dave and Alex argue it tries to be both a mystery-horror and a deep discussion of religion, ending up as neither.
All this with an impression of Christopher Lee and another of a flaming Edward Woodward, with a quiz all about angles in historic monuments.
