    S12 Ep4: Pottery Cottage Part 2 Feb 06, 2023
    Show notes

    Geoffrey Wansell recounts the horrifying events of January 1977 at Pottery Cottage, Derbyshire, where escaped convict Billy Hughes held a family hostage during a brutal blizzard. Over several tense days, Hughes terrorised Gillian Moran, her husband Richard, their daughter Sarah, and her elderly mother Amy, forcing them into a nightmare of fear, manipulation, and violence.


    In a chilling charade, Hughes alternates between cruel control and deceptive kindness, making tea and pretending to care — all while his deadly intentions escalate. The ordeal culminates in a deadly standoff with police, leaving only Gillian alive and forever scarred.


    A dark, extraordinary tale of survival, psychopathology, and one of the most shocking murder sprees in British criminal history.

    Show notes

    Geoffrey Wansell tells the harrowing story of Billy Hughes, aka “Mad Billy,” a violent career criminal who escaped custody in January 1977 and descended on Pottery Cottage in the Derbyshire Peak District. Over the course of a snowbound afternoon, Hughes terrorised Gillian Moran, her husband Richard, their daughter Sarah, and her elderly parents, blending chilling charm with threats of deadly violence.


    From stolen knives and a blizzard-crossed escape to the tension-filled arrival of the family and the fateful confrontation, this is a gripping, terrifying tale of manipulation, survival, and one of the most extraordinary hostage situations in British criminal history.

    Show notes

    Molly and Geoffrey are back. They explore the shocking 100-year-old case of Edith Thompson, a woman hanged in 1923 for a crime she didn’t commit. Through love letters, societal prejudice, and a flawed legal system, Edith was condemned while her lover received leniency. We unpack the trial, the miscarriage of justice, and the enduring questions about morality, law, and the treatment of women.
