Tony Robinson's Superstitions
Tony Robinson explores the weird and wonderful history of belief, superstition and religious experience in Britain -- a terrifying world of walking corpses and evil spirits - the world that our ancestors thought they lived in. For 2000 years, Britain has been a Christian country. Or has it? In fact, our ancestors actually kept many other dark, fantastical beliefs alive. It was a world underpinned by outlandish, dangerous and plain weird beliefs. Ideas that today seem unbelievable, but were seen as uncontroversial and hugely influential, with some having shaped our history as much as mainstream religion.........aka Gods and Monsters


2) Witches
Today, witches are the stuff of fairy tales...but step back to the 16th and 17th centuries; everyone thought witches were terrifyingly real! Investigate the evil spells and dark rituals of witchcraft in Britain during the reign of the Tudors and Stuarts. Witches were a parody of a woman's real role in society. They were thought to attend satanic covens where they would dance and sing backwards, make stews from human body parts and fly on a broom greased with the bones of dead babies
